Sport in Alicante

Introduction

As most places in Spain if you want to go and see some sports then you will certainly won't be disappointed as there is a great selection around and Alicante is no exception. The bullring known as Plaza de Toros is one of the oldest around that is still actually used with its doors first opening in 1847.

Alicante had some serious skill in a sport known as handball, in the 1970's they had a winning team which had a dropped a little since but they still have a formidable team which is certainly worth checking out. If your looking for the mainstream sport of basketball you can't be blamed with its fast paced action and quick turn arounds, check out the local professional team known as Lucentum Baloncesto Alicante. If you also fancy having a go at lowering the handicap then Alicante will be sure to accomidate you with the vast range of golf courses all around the area, if that has caught your interest then check out the following: Alicante golf club, El Plantio, club bonalba and Alenda.

When it comes down to watersports in Alicante you will find yourself lost for choice if you decide to take the aquatic sport road where you can head to the beach to get involved with the fun! So whether it be jumping into the wet suit for some exploration of scuba diving or perhaps some surfing if its not too chilly for you! You could even rent out a motor boat and let the mood take you where ever you want to go for the day.

You never need an excuse to get yourself down to one of the football games and in Alicante as well as all of Spain the locals are passionate about their teams and Alicante has two ready to keep you on the tip of your toes! These are Hércules CF and Alicante CF and if that sounds like the sort of thing for you then head over towards the stadium named Estadio José Rico Pérez for a well priced ticket if you go at the right time
