Local tennis courts to Velez-Malaga or nearby

Postby johnr » Sat Nov 02, 2013 5:08 pm

Hello all,

Are there any local public tennis courts near to Velez-Malaga (or anywhere realistically drivable), especially where you hire rackets. I have a friend over who'd like a match or two.

Thanks
John

The municipal sports complex in the centre of Velez-Malaga (the one where the indoor swimming pool is) has two tennis courts, but I don't know if they hire racquets or not. The website gives the address and opening hours:-

I forgot, there is also a public tennis court right on the Paseo Maritimo in Torre del Mar (very close to the lighthouse). Might be a nice setting for a game, especially for a visitor:-

What about the tennis courts just off the road from Torre del Mar towards Almayate? On the RHS - I think they're called El Capitan. It may be a private club but my OH tells me that they're always advertising for players.

Yet another option - you're spoilt for choice! :)

The ValsSport Centre opposite the Hotel Mainake in Torre del Mar (used to be the Centro Deportivo La Vega but changed hands about a year ago) has tennis courts, and although it's a private health club, it looks from their website as though non-members can hire tennis courts.

Thanks everyone. I'll take a look. I think it's just down now to whether or not we can rent racquets.
