A beautiful side street in Marbella Old Town |
A
reasonably short drive from El Presidente are the beautiful whitewashed
hillside villages
of Benahavis and Casares with their narrow streets, bars, excellent
restaurants and artisan shops.
Five minutes away is Puerto Banus, with its fantastic marina and
yachts, designer shops, the renowned department store El Corte
Ingles and dozens of waterfront bars and restaurants.
Also close by are the coastal towns of San Pedro and Estepona,
both with pedestrianized areas, promenades, shops and very spanish
local restaurants and tapas bars. Slightly further afield are
the historic cities of Seville, Granada and Cordoba, as well as
the
beautiful old town of Ronda. A
particularly relaxing journey is aboard the scenic Steam Train
from San Roque to Ronda with more than four hours to explore
Ronda
before
returning. Tel: 952 931 186
Malaga too
is also now definitely worth a visit and a great
way to see the city is either on foot or by taking the
Malaga Tour Bus which is a hop-on, hop-off open top bus which
makes 13 stops around
the city of Malaga allowing you to get
off and enjoy the city’s sightseeing, monuments and museums, including
the Picasso Museum, the Alcazaba and the castle of Gibralfaro. Your ticket
is valid for 24 hours and includes a guided audio tour in various languages.

Gibraltar is just 50 minutes away with its caves, apes,
duty-free
shopping
and
dolphin trips. www.gibraltar.gov.gi You
can also take organised excursions including a day trip to
Tangier in Morocco with a pick-up point just outside of our complex.
Should you
be thinking of visiting the wonderful Alhambra Palace in
Granada then you are strongly advised to book
your entrance
ticket prior to your visit by
going to a branch of the BBVA bank – the nearest one is in San Pedro.
For children
there is so much to do apart from the beaches and the swimming
pools, including water parks, an aquarium,
a wild animal safari park and a zoo, boat trips to see the
dolphins, water
sports, and Tivoli World with its fun-fair and stage shows,
plus so much more! |
