Sport and fitness
The new Parque Centro located on the edge of town provides good cycling and jogging paths. And there is also a Cycling Club at Velez-Malaga, "Club Ciclista Veleno, at the Poliderpotivo Municipal. Near the Parque Centro you can find the Aquavelis Water Park.
It is possible to do aquatic sports at Lake Vinuela. But as the lake is a reservoir, no motorised craft are allowed, just simple sailing boats and canoes sometimes disturb the usual flat calm of the surface.
At the southern end of the lake are picnic areas, each table has a barbeque and you can enjoy the fantastic views of the lake and mountains behind
Torre del Mar - La Vega Sports Centre is open from 8.00h to 24.00h every day. Memberships are available from monthly to annual, also short-term or daily entrance, making the centre suitable for holiday makers and residents alike.
