Keep Fit on the Beach in Pilar de la Horadada This Summer
For most of us, unless we get up at the crack of dawn or wait until very late at night, our exercise routine goes out of the window until the weather starts to cool down from September onwards.
Many walking groups, for example, take a break during the summer months, and the majority of us will swap our healthy exercise routine that we practise for 10 months of the year for meals in restaurants, cocktails and lying on sunbeds.
But that’s not the case at the town hall of Pilar de la Horadada. They have concluded that although temperatures may be unbearable at certain times of the day, we should not neglect our exercise regime under any circumstances.
So, that’s why they have organised free keep fit mornings for anyone to attend three times a week on their beaches for the months of July and August, and the details are as follows:
Date: Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday until 31 August
Time: 9.00h to 10.00h
Place: Mil Palmeras beach, Playa Jesuitas (Torre de la Horadada) and Playa Higuericas

If you fancy browsing some of the more interesting goods than the norm, then a “Hippy Market” is the place to find them. This summer, San Pedro is hosting one every Friday.

The Marina de las Salinas in San Pedro del Pinatar is the place to go on a Friday, as the “Hippy Market” is on every evening through summer.

From 7 p.m. stalls offering art, crafts, hand-made goods, designs and items with a personal touch will be surrounded by offerings of music, dance, fashion and even workshops for the kids.

With plenty of parking at the marina, there are no worries about taking the car, or maybe try a stroll through the salt lakes and observe some of the unique and protected fauna and flora in the area, or pop into one of the many bars and restaurants that serve the marina on a regular basis.

If you like anything pirate-related, you won’t exactly be walking the plank, although maybe that could be arranged, but head down to Mil Palmeras over the course of this weekend and you won’t be disappointed.

The town hall of Pilar de la Horadada has organised a second ‘Pirate Market’ (Mercado Pirata), the first taking place in Torre de la Horadada last weekend, as part of its pirate series of activities.

Similar to the popular medieval markets, this Pirate Market will go all out to create an atmosphere of days of old, with colourful costumes, pirate-like scenery, demonstrations and workshops for everyone to join in with.

There will be numerous stalls selling handmade crafts, a children’s area, pirate ship, kid’s animation and loads more.

Do we like the sound of this? Oooooh arrrrrrr me lad. Er, I think that’s a yes.

Date: Friday 27 to Sunday 29 July and Friday 17 to Sunday 19 August
