Question 2

Which city has the most padel courts in Bolívar?

Accepted Answer

Cartagena de Indias is the clear leader, hosting all 3 of the department's known venues. No other city in Bolívar (such as Magangué or Sincelejo) currently reports permanent padel courts. Cartagena's popularity among tourists and residents drives the local padel supply.

Question 3

How does Bolívar's padel offer compare to other Colombian regions?

Accepted Answer

With only 3 venues, Bolívar lags behind departments like Antioquia (120+ courts), Cundinamarca (100+), or the Caribbean neighbour Atlántico (approx. 20). However, per capita it outperforms rural departments. The growth potential is high given Cartagena's tourism industry and European connections.

Question 4

Are there padel tournaments or leagues in Bolívar?

Accepted Answer

Informal tournaments are organised by the clubs in Cartagena, especially during high season (Dec–Feb, Jul–Aug). No official departmental league exists yet, but players can join regional events in Barranquilla or Santa Marta. Check with local clubs for upcoming competitions.

Question 5

What is the best time of year to play padel in Bolívar?

Accepted Answer

Bolívar has a tropical wet-and-dry climate. The dry season (December–April) offers the most predictable weather for outdoor courts. Indoor and covered courts are available year-round. Avoid late April–May and October–November due to heavy rains. Daytime temperatures average 30°C, so early morning or evening sessions are recommended.
