Cool Kayaking Excursion



Kayaking is a fun and cheap way to check out the coastline, there are activity providers all along the Costa Blanca and Costa Calida that can help you to get out there!

Have a look at this article for inspiration!

Where Does the Time Go???......

It feels like ages since I've written my Blog, the time is just flying past and I have lots to tell. I have decided to stop writing for the RTN due for various reasons and have am now providing features to The Coastrider, another local newspaper instead. That way I am still getting published by someone locally and the readers are getting lots of cool info about what is available to them right on their doorstep. It's an exciting transition for me and as we move from winter, through spring and in to summer, the articles will shift from more earth bound activities to sea based experiences. Woo hoo!
The sailing school is busy (Serenity Sailing), we've had a fantastic start to the year, we're very lucky. Costa Adventures is in need of a revamp so my dear friend Anthony will be creating an amazing new website which will be launched at the end of the year.
I've recently had meetings with a group that will be starting a car club and a boat club. The car club already has 2 Ferrari's and another supercar for track use and the boat club has 2 tidy power boats and 2 jet ski's that are based in Torrevieja. More info to come as it develops.
I continue to go on brilliant adventures. This week I went on a 38km downhill bike ride in the mountains behind Benidorm - it was FANTASTIC! A special mention should also be given to the 2 members of staff that I was with that day, Terry and Alistair; they were fun, professional and so knowledgeable about the area. An article will be published soon about this amazing experience and I will publish it here.
I'm working closely with various activity providers so that I can keep bringing you information on events, races, club launches and interesting local developments. If you need any information about any aspect of adventure tourism on the Costa Blanca, please get in touch and I will do my upmost to help.
For now goodbye, but I will be back soon. Have a great weekend, wherever you may be.
Hasta luego! Anna :)

Charity Walk Training at Casa la Pedrera



Morning all
Here on the Costa Blanca, we have been subject to a long, cold, dark, damp and very cold winter - roll on lighter nights and warmer days!

There have been few beacons of joy as activities often have to be rescheduled due to the incessant rain. However, I have been able to join the advanced walking group at Casa la Pedrera twice this year, in a training effort for the charity walk taking place there at the end of February. To check out my training efforts and to get some more information, please copy and paste this address in to your browser:

It's a cold, grey, wet and miserable day here in Algorfa but the shiny silver pole that my fiance bought me for Christmas is lighting up our living room - so I have no reason to go out!

Take care everyone, especially all you guys in the UK!
