Windsurfing, Surfing, Rock Climbing and Hiking in Bolonia...

Windsurfing and kitesurfing are the reigning sports in Bolonia. The beaches are windy with moderate waves, perfect for those who are just starting out in these sports.

The other sport that attracts many to Bolonia is the fantastic rock climbing. The San Bartolo area offers over 250 different climbs of varying levels, mostly from 10 to 15 m high, although some are higher than 85 m. The climbing area is approximately 500 m up the mountains. (Climbing maps are available at Jack's kiosk in Tarifa.) The rock is mostly compact sandstone and limestone, and unpolished. The climate is favourable almost all year round and as the rocks face different directions there are always some that are protected from the sun and wind.

If climbing is too adventurous for you, there are dozens of hiking trails, most of them relatively easy and short and all providing incredible views of the coast and the surrounding countryside.
