Facilities at IdleBreaks
We have four separate apartments, all self-contained, sleeping a combined total of 12 persons. There is a log cabin where you can relax and watch TV or a DVD and a bar is also available. Group bookings use this area as their eatery.
At the end of our 25m heated pool there is a gymnasium and hot (jacuzzi) and cold recovery tubs -- great for tired muscles. A BBQ is situated near the log cabin.
Swimming
Our 3 lane heated pool is situated right outside your apartment. The pool is heated by solar panels, so wet suits may be required prior to mid April, depending on your preference.
Open water swimming is only 35 mins away either at the coast or in Lake Iznajar.
Biking - Our Speciality
Cycling at Idle Breaks is as good as it gets, with quiet local roads and slick surfaces.
With routes ranging from a 1hr recovery ride to a 6 or 7 hr Ironman distance there is truely something for all standards.
For something rather special we also have the famous Veleta challenge in the Sierra Nevada. This 20 mile climb to the sumit goes up over 2500m. The current record stands at 1hr 53mins!
Not enough? Well, there's another local climb, 7km up the Puerto del Sol, which takes in over 20 switchbacks!
Laminated route maps are available and as of 2008 we have Planet-X
ultra light road bikes (small and medium sizes) available for hire at 65€
for the week or 15€ euros per day (plus 7% VAT).
Running
There are plenty of tracks and trails around the olive groves and local hills. Just ask your host for guidance and advice with these routes.
