Bungee jumping
Bungee jumping is an extreme sport where a person jumps from a great height into the void, held at the starting point by an elastic cord. Bungee jumping can be done from many surfaces, such as bridges, high-rise buildings, ravines, cranes, etc. One of the places in Spain where bungee jumping is best enjoyed is in the Royal Road from Granada to the Alpujarras on the historic red bridge that leads to Lanjarón.
HANG GLIDING
The hang glider consists of a mechanism that allows perform non-powered gliding flights. Both takeoff and landing are performed at low speeds, so they can be done on foot. To practice hang gliding, you must take advantage of rising air currents or thermals to make turns and move through the air. Experienced pilots can stay in the air for long periods of time and perform acrobatics. A great place to practice hang gliding in Spain is the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park.
ROCK CLIMBING
Rock climbing consists of in ascending a steep rock face with the help of physical strength. The height of the site can be very dangerous, so safety and protective equipment are often used. Depending on the location and difficulty, it can be considered a risky sport. There is the "integral solo" type, where the climber ascends the rock face without any safety equipment. Another type of rock climbing is "psicobloc," where the climber ascends cliff faces where the only protection is water. Mallorca is one of the destinations chosen by climbers to practice this technique. And for rock climbing, we recommend the Ansó Valley in the Pyrenees.
SKYDIVING
Skydiving is one of the extreme sports that gains more followers every year. Jumping from a hot air balloon, a helicopter, or an airplane offers an adrenaline rush. Depending on the skydiver's skill, they can open the parachute immediately after jumping out of the aircraft or perform a controlled free fall and then open it. Within skydiving, there are different modalities, including "relative work," where several skydivers perform different formations during freefall; "freestyle," where different tricks are performed; "drifts," where the skydiver adopts a position that allows for maximum horizontal displacement; and many others.
One of the places that is a world reference for skydiving is Empuriabrava, where its skydiving center was the first in the world to reach one million jumps.
