When effort becomes a pleasure
We were created to be in constant movement. However, our current lifestyle does not agree with that model: we need to move. And not only because it is healthy, but also because it meets many other needs.
Sport fulfils an essential function: fighting yourself. On the one hand, sedentary life imposes the need to go to gyms in order to confront effort in a well-ordered and programmed manner. In this section, we mention the best sport centres and elite sport experts in Spain.
Some people choose to voluntary face this personal challenge by subjecting themselves to tough tests. Our Cycling and Motoring section offers an interesting selection of machinery and motoring experiences similar to what it must have been to first subject a horse to human power. In Other sports, we look at another primary activity converted today into a sport modality: fishing. Of course, in its wild version, with nearly inaccessible landscapes.
On the other hand, really passionate sportspeople look for personal challenges, exciting novelties that can boost their adrenaline and counteract stress, another evil of our lifestyle. In Extreme sports we explain some leisure activities, close to madness, that can help you to break your own limits.
The hunger for conquests
Our brain also needs challenges and many leisure activities, some of them directly related to physical effort, are devoted to feeding old soul ambitions: accessing natural spots, in principle prohibited to the naked man.
Marine abysses and air spaces are human conquests directly related to activities which are nowadays at the reach of anyone with their own or rented equipment, the possibilities to do scuba diving, sailing, or flying are unlimited.
We focus on those activities in the sections Scuba diving and Navigation, and Air Balloon, Ultralight and Hang gliding. As established by this Guide’s editorial line, we always focus on their more exquisite and spectacular aspects, choosing the best places to practice them.
A touch of nobility
Despite becoming more popular, some sports, such as golf or ski, continue to represent the leisure activity of the higher classes. As well s their primary function – physical effort- starting to do a ‘noble’ sport has the attraction of allowing you to make good business contacts or, simply, to do them because leisure in those places is multiplied:
In their corresponding sections, we review the large and exclusive golf clubs –and we give some clues on how to overcome their apparently closed doors-, we list the jet set’s preferred ski resorts and we of course look at the latest novelties on luxury equipment for sportspeople.
