Paintball is a sport in which participants use markers powered by compressed air, CO2 or other gases, to shoot small balls filled with paint at other players. In essence, it is a complex strategy game in which players are eliminated from the game when they are hit by a paintball, sometimes temporarily, sometimes definitively, depending on the type of play. Contrary to popular belief, it is one of the safest outdoor sports.
In the Region of Valencia, there are many outdoor facilities prepared and equipped for paintball. Some of the cities and towns that offer this type of facility include Alicante, Alzira, Cofrentes, Dolores, Gandía, Guardamar del Segura, Orba, Paterna, Peñíscola, Sax, Torrevieja, Venta del Moro and Villagordo del Cabriel.
