Women's Fitness returns to Gran Canaria to discover its most sporty and nautical side

 

Gran Canaria promises to promote the island as a sports destination and Women'sFitness has not hesitated to explore its possibilities. During a press trip organized by the associations Gran Canaria Tri, Bike & Run y Gran Canaria Blue, the representative of the British magazine focused on exercise, health and motivation was able to learn about the specialized offer first-hand.

 

 

To cover a good part of the interesting proposals of Gran Canaria, Women's Fitness divided its stay into two accommodations. The first of them was Marina Suites, a family-friendly hotel in the town of Puerto Rico that boasts a dreamlike infinity pool, a terrace to enjoy the sunset, and a nautical theme.

 

 

 

From a sporting point of view, this is the first accommodation in Spain to have opted for a Virtual Cycling Room. This space consists of modern exercise bikes and immersive cycling sessions, which are adapted based on the routes projected on the screen. In addition, its proximity to the beach and the promenade made it easy for the journalist to go out for a run and explore the coast on foot.

 

There was also free time between training sessions so that the guest could relax with her family. Opposite Marina Suites is the Puerto Rico Base Port, from where the catamaran departs. Spirit of the Sea in an unparalleled activity. With more than 25 years of experience behind it, this boat carries out magical excursions to spot dolphins, turtles, flying fish and even whales in their natural environment.

 

 

For the second half of her adventure, the editor of Women's Fitness traveled to another of Gran Canaria's outstanding sports accommodations: Anfi Emerald Club. This complex, immersed in a golf course and with the ocean in the background, integrates the seal Anfi Sports Academy thanks to its facilities focused on triathlon, cycling and running. This is how the journalist was able to enjoy a water session in the semi-Olympic pool with her children and do functional training without leaving the resort.

 

 

 

On the other hand, starting from Anfi Emerald Club, the route was 6km long and crossed the beaches of Amadores and Tauro, combining asphalt, dirt and sand. As a differentiating factor, some sections of the route coincide with stretches of different stages of the Gran Canaria Bike Week, one of the most notable cycling events on the island.

 

 

 

 

After an energetic week in Gran Canaria, Women's Fitness has discovered the secret of how to combine sport, travel and relaxation by the sea for the whole family.
