Local Area
The apartment is an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding area. Coastal towns of Puerto Banus, Marbella, San Pedro and Estepona are all within a fifteen minute drive.
Puerto Banus with its famous marina, restaurants and designer shopping; Marbella Town - a shoppers paradise. The typically Andalucian 'Old Quarter' of the town is packed with interesting places to visit as well as an array of places to eat and drink along the many pedestrianised traditional whitewashed narrow streets and squares - as is Estepona, famous for its many festivals and processions.
San Pedro with its safe, sandy beaches and beachfront promenade is only five minutes away. Further inland the quaint mountain village of Benahavis provides many great restaurants with spectacular views. Also well worth a visit are Istan, Ronda and Mijas all offering fabulous views and excellent restaurant facilities.
Cancelada is also a favourite for restaurants - literally 2 kms along the road.
Slightly further afield but well worth the drive are the cities of Seville, Granda and Cordoba, full of history, culture and venues of interest to all.
Gibralter is only one hour's drive along the coast with its caves, apes, cable car and tax free shopping.
