Sport with sea views: that's the new El Palmeral park in Alicante

If you’re one of those people who get overwhelmed in the gym and can’t find the motivation to exercise at home, outdoor sport is the perfect solution. And in the renovated El Palmeral park, on Alicante’s Avenida de Elche, you have the perfect place to give your favourite sporting discipline a go. Inhabited by hundreds of palm trees and overlooking the Mediterranean, in this huge area of almost 200,000m2 you can have a friendly football game with your buddies on the football pitch, try rowing in one of the boats on the lake or enjoy a bit of speed on the new pump track with your bike, your skates or your skateboard. Looking for something quieter to get fit? They also have a calisthenics area with sports circuits - there’s no excuse!
