Sun protection

One thing you should definitely not forget when you go out on the sea and into the water: sun protection! Use at least a waterproof sunscreen with a high sun protection factor and good sunglasses. If you don't have sports sunglasses, you can attach your glasses with a strap so that they don't get lost.

Parasiling is an exciting and fun adventure that will get the adrenaline pumping through your veins. The speedboat pulls you up on a special parachute and at 150 meters above the water you can enjoy a unique all-round view. You will experience the top sights of Barcelona from a very special perspective.

Paddle surfing is when you stand on a surfboard. This is significantly larger and more stable on the water than you might know from windsurfing. Although it is less strenuous than windsurfing, it is still a demanding sport.

You probably know kayaking . The kayaks used here are a little more stable in the water, so that even beginners can handle them well in the water.

Why fun sports in the water

Because it is simply great fun, you have a great view over the harbor and the city and because you are active in sports. Especially in summer, a break in the cool water is a great change from the city.
