Walking, bowls and craft clubs are also plentiful; as are health, fitness and wellbeing ones with running, cycling and swimming clubs plus yoga and fitness classes with some taking place on the beaches of Mojácar and Vera. There is always something that you can get involved with should you wish to.
It may sound impossible but skiing in the morning and being on the beach in the afternoon is possible, if you want to try it, as the Sierra Nevada ski resort is only 2½ hours away and in recent years has grown in popularity with some of the best snowfalls in Europe in late winter / early spring.
Los Gallardos is a popular destination for the Spanish and tourists alike for the annual Three Kings celebration and re-enactment in January and also the grand 5 day & night fiesta held in July. The village has received considerable funding through more recent years to build a new health centre, school, sports facilities and theatre / cultural centre.
