Padel
Padel was invented in Mexico in the 70s. Enrique Corcuera built a tennis court in his holiday home, but he didn’t have enough space in his courtyard, so he decided to use the neighbouring walls to bounce the ball off them. So he came up with something new that was neither tennis nor squash: it was something better: padel.

Cost: €22 – €40 depending on length (60 or 90 minutes) and time of year
