Horse riding.

Mountain-biking.

The countryside around the farm is ideal for riding. The nearest stables are at La Parra, which is less than 20 minutes away by car. Their website is www.turismoecuestre.es. Rides can be anything from 1 ½ hours to treks lasting several days, and they have horses to suit all levels of experience.

"Centro BTT Bajo Tiétar" is located in Arenas de San Pedro and it has bikes available for hire, and will also take groups on guided tours. For more information, visit www.centrobttbajotietar.es

Golf.

Canoeing.

The nearest golf course is at Candeleda, about 40 minutes drive away. It is a nine-hole course, designed by Manuel Pinero, and enjoys stunning views of the Gredos mountains. For more information, go to www.golfcandeleda.com. The club is extremely friendly and children are welcome. The clubhouse serves excellent food. Green fees are €18 for 18 holes during the week and €30 at the weekend.

Orlando Sanchez will take you on a canoe trip around the magnificent Rosarito reservoir. You will see masses of birds, have a picnic, swim in the lake and, if you are lucky, see the sun go down over the water. In spring, there are descents of the rapids for more experienced canoeists, as the snow melt swells the river. For more information, see www.vivetietar.com or email Orlando at vivetietar@hotmail.com.
