Mijas
The famous 'white village' of
Mijas is tucked away on the hillside, this is a great place to visit for a
day or just for lunch with fantastic views and lots of interesting venues
including an historic church, bullring and cliffside park.
Marbella/Puerto
Banus
Swanky shops, flash cars, trophy
yachts and some interesting dress sense make both Marbella and Puerto
Banus a pleasant diversion for an afternoon or evening's entertainment.
All that aside, Puerto Banus has grown dramatically in the last few years
and is now a destination shopping experience in itself with a branch of El
Corte Ingles and lots of other well known names such as Zara, Body Shop,
Karen Millen, Mango and others. In addition, the cinema complex at Puerto
Banus has all the latest films in English as well as Spanish.
Also, don't miss out on the La Caņada shopping centre nearby which has a
wide range of shops all under cover - worth visiting on the (very) rare
occasions when the weather's not so good.
Aqua park
Located on the outskirts of
Fuengirola, Aquapark is the best water park in the area providing an
exhilarating day out for the family with plenty of activities. As well as
the water park which includes wave pool, water chutes, kamikaze slide and
raft river there is a full programme of entertainment including aerobics,
volleyball and mini-golf. There is an area specially for very small
children and the park is well run with a strong emphasis on safety as well
as fun with trained lifeguards in abundance. Great fun for all!
A 30 minute drive away, close to Estepona, is Selwo, a unique nature park based on the African safari experience and housing 2,000 animals in semi-wild conditions. It is not a zoo! It really is a great chance to see animals living in as close to their natural habitat as possible. This is the largest man-made nature reserve in Spain and there is plenty of space to wander - part of the experience is on foot and there is also the option to take an all terrain truck to see larger animals such as tigers, elephants and lions. An unmissable day out!
There's something for everyone - here are some more places worth a visit:
Ronda, Granda, Cordoba, Seville, El Chorro Lakes, Gibraltar, Malaga, Sierra Nevada, Tarifa, Monda, Benahavis, Tivoli World Benalmadena, LaCala de Mijas, Hippodromo Costa Del Sol - Horse Racing
