Our aim is to stimulate self-help in the patients by presenting them with a series of alternatives and experiences that confirm their possibility of leading a normal life. The following are the activities residents can participate in at El Seranil: tennis, indoor football, aerobic exercises, fitness training, golf, swimming, rowing, painting classes, self expression through movement. These are practised in our own or rented installations and complemented by recreational outings, accompanied by monitors, to villages, cinemas and shows, sports competitions, museums of exhibitions and other cultural events.

El Seranil has a large inland property some 45 minutes from the clinic, where residents can take part in excursions on mountain bikes, trekking and receive horse riding lessons from qualified teachers on our own horses. This is another opportunity for the patients of El Seranil to enjoy relaxed days out in the open, in contact with nature. This wide range of activities helps the patients to keep mind and time occupied, introduces them to new possibilities in their daily life and helps prevent them worrying over their pathology. In this way we avoid a possible progressive and irreversible deterioration.
