Places to See/Activities

There are a lot of activities that you can indulge in when in Cadiar. It is a favorite place for British Expats and there’s a certain air of tranquility that will calm your mind and relax your body. Andalucia is one of the most beautiful regions of Spain and at Cadiar, you will be able to see much of that beauty. You can always drive down from here to Sierra Nevada, where the white powdery slopes will lure you enough to try on a pair of skis and ski boots. There are 45 pistes in Sierra Nevada and each one of them is more adventurous than the other. It is a pure and exhilarating experience. In the summers though, you can enjoy a trek through the dense forest and rough trails that criss-cross across the Sierra Nevada. If trekking is not your cup of tea then less demanding activities like lazying in the sun or discovering the different types of flora and fauna in this Costa Tropical region can be fun. Some of the other activities that you can indulge in include cycling, taking wine tours, visiting the local historical and cultural places, or taking a walk through the town. The Rabita beach is not too far off and takes about 35 minutes by car.
