TODAY WE WILL SEE SUNRISE ON A PADDLE SURF BOARD!
Imagine the moment. You, on your plate, the waves rocking and in the background, a golden halo. You already have a story ! Paddle surfing will have given you the image of the year, but, above all, physical and emotional well-being. In just one hour you can burn up to 1,000 calories, toning your legs, arms, shoulders and abs, and strengthening your lats. And also, as you work concentration, you reduce stress and improve your mood.
THE BEST BEACH TO PRACTICE IT?
Without a doubt, Cambrils. With 10 km of crystal clear waters and all the services you may need: from the best nautical schools to learn and perfect your technique to the most varied offer of restaurants to replenish your effort with a well-deserved meal of delicious local produce, not in vain Cambrils It is the gastronomic capital of the Costa Dorada! For all these reasons, l'Agència Catalana de Turisme awarded it the seal of sports tourism that guarantees quality infrastructure and services for sports lovers.
WE'RE GOING TO RUN ON WATER ROADS!
GPS underway and heading to Girona. Specifically, to Banyoles, where the largest lake in Catalonia awaits you. It is bordered by a 6 km unpaved track, ideal for running. There are no slopes and the route is beautiful without the need for filters: the pier, the old plane trees of La Draga, the reed of the wetlands, the Can Morgat forest … Water and green that calm the mind and spirit.
WARNING: YOU WILL BE HOOKED
Yes, running hooks and more, in an environment like this. You tone legs, abdomen, back, even arms! It helps you lose weight, fights cellulite, strengthens bones, is a good antidote to insomnia, and keeps stress and anxiety at bay.
AND NOW … BTT ON THE GREENWAYS OF GIRONA!
Girona has so much to offer that we stayed here, but now we feel like taking the bike. The perfect plan? Go through any of the Greenways that cross the territory: the Ferro i del Carbó Route, which recalls the industrial past of the area; the Carrilet, which crosses the Natural Park of the Volcanic Zone of La Garrotxa and reaches the coastal Sant Feliu de Guíxols, or the Petit Train Route, short but delicious.
IN SHAPE AND SO HAPPY!
Do you know how many calories you can burn in just half an hour of gentle walking? 300. Not bad , right? The bike is ideal for burning fat and strengthening legs and glutes. But there is something else: pedaling makes us secrete endorphins and feel, thus, great well-being, something that multiplies when we pedal in natural spaces such as those that cross the network of Vías Verdes de Girona.
CHALLENGE ACHIEVED? YOU ARE WORTH A PRIZE!
Your body has worked hard, can we give it a break? The perfect plan: spend the afternoon in one of the many wellness centers that you will find on the Costa Brava and the Girona Pyrenees, areas of valued thermal and mineral-medicinal waters. And to finish your fitness getaway … nothing like giving yourself a gastronomic experience in this corner of Catalonia that has among its ambassadors names like Ferran Adrià or Joan Roca. But don't panic! It doesn't have to be a Michelin star (although you would freak it out on Instagram). There are a thousand restaurants associated with groups that work to promote Catalan cuisine with the finest local products. A true pleasure for the senses.
