The zipline in Alhaurín de la Torre 

‘Sunview Park Adventure’ recreational area was where people previously enjoyed the longest zipline in Andalucia. Moreover, it is still also one of the longest in Spain. The recreational area dedicated to adventure sports opened in May two years ago. With this zipline, maximum speeds of 100 km per hour are reached with a height difference of 100 km/h. The starting point is 200 metres above sea level. 

The whole family can enjoy this zipline as it can be launched in different modalities. In individual Superman/Superwoman position (lying down face down), in tandem (great for father/mother with child or couples standing in front of the other for the same rope), and sitting individually.
