Our multi-purpose sports ground, nestled in the foothills of the mountain, is open from May onwards. Have fun at the city stadium, where you can play football, basketball and volleyball.
Meet up on the tennis court or at the ping-pong tables and play a few games. The pétanque court, located near the bar and restaurant, is a favourite with enthusiasts who love to pointer and tirer.
Sports tournaments add to the holiday experience!
