We are staying in the La Mata area for the first time this year, from November to February. We are looking for tips about what to do when we are there, as appreciate a lot of things will be closed.
What we would like to do most days is sea swimming (we do this year round in Ireland), so just looking for where is safe, is it tidal, maybe a local group that does year round swimming.
Is it worth bringing our own bikes, or is there anywhere that does long term rentals (3 months).
Recommendations for a good gym or sports club (not golf or tennis), open to other suggestions.
Tips for good places to walk the dog and a good English speaking vet.
Spanish lessons and any other activities that locals do.
Anything else we should consider or do.
We want to really experience what it’s like to live in the area, not just holiday.
Any advice at all would be appreciated. Thanks in advance 😁
