Geocaching - What it's all about

Come to rural Spain, inland from Malaga and the Costa del Sol, for an entertaining adventure hunt!

(A GPS unit is required, but we have one for hire if you don't have your own.)

Quite often, particularly in the cooler months, we have guests who like to go hiking in the countryside around here. Always happy to help someone else expend energy, we have been looking into geocaching. It would seem that while we have been hidden away on our mountain top, a new leisure pursuit has been rapidly growing: Geocaching. Formed from the words "geography" and "cache", this new activity has been described as "an entertaining adventure game for GPS users".

In short, it involves finding a hidden cache using the location coordinates with your GPS. Caches of all types have been hidden by enthusiasts all over the world and, luckily for us, some not so far from here! Sites in this area vary in suitability - some for all the family to enjoy and some are only for more adventurous individuals.

Caches vary, but the most basic is traditionally a waterproof box containing a log book and pen. Often there is a "prize" for you to take away (in which case you must leave something for the next person), or perhaps the start of a treasure hunt. To get the idea, click here for Cache Types.
