Things To Do

Embalse - Parque Ardales The most amazing day out is the Ardales Lakes, situated just past Alora, you will see the sign for Ardales, once through Ardales you will see the sign for Embalse, Embalse is a series of lakes where you can enjoy swimming, sailing, boating or just sun bathing, drive past the first lake and you will then see the sign for Parque Ardales where you can hire peddal boats with a slide for 12 euros per hour for up to 4 people.  A great day out and popular with families who enjoy a picnic.

Golf: You are spoilt for choice for good golf courses in this part of Spain, Lauro Golf has 27 holes and is only a few minutes from the villa by car, there is Alhaurin Golf that has a 18 and a par 3 nine hole course also a few minute by car, there are several other golf courses all within a 20 minute drive such as La Cala and the Mijas courses etc etc.

Beautiful Walks and Cycling: Just a few minutes walk from our door there is the most wonderful pine Forrest that you can walk and cycle in, which is great for mountain biking, rambling, it is a safe and friendly peaceful environment.

Beaches: Just a 20 minutes drive away and you 're at the beach, there are so many to choose from but I would recommend The Marina at Benalmadena, Torremolinos, Los Boliches in Fuengirolla and Torrenueva.

Shopping: The market in Alhaurin el Grande is on a Thursday and here you can pick up lots of great beargains including fresh fish and vegetable.  La Trocha in Coín which is only a 10 minutes drive boasts a mutiplex cinema, supermaket, Dunnes and lots of smaller shops.  If you really want to go for the branded stuff the La Canada near Marbella 35 minutes and La Plaza Mayor near Malaga 25 minutes not to mention the great city of Malaga itself.
