The Andalucia / Malaga Province region


The Costa del Sol stretches along just over 150 kilometres of Málaga province and is one of Spain's most popular tourist destinations. The area's mild climate is the root attraction that makes it possible to enjoy the beaches and a wide variety of outdoor activities year round. There are endless golf courses, beautiful beaches, towns and attractions which make the Costa such a wonderful place to live and to holiday. Popular towns include Marbella, and Mijas, with Ronda, Cordoba, Seville and Gibraltar within a few hours drive.resorts with their ample tourist attractions and nightlife, while offering visitors the opportunity to explore the wonderful countryside right on their doorstep and experience traditional Spanish customs and village life in the local towns of Coín and Alhaurin el Grande. Sunshine can be guaranteed from May to September, and it is mostly warm and sunny in April and October.
The Alhaurin El Grande area
Alhaurin el Grande is a prosperous and bustling village with many local amenities. On the one hand, excellent restaurants, lively bars, modern supermarkets, even English newspapers, and on the other hand idyllic tree lined plazas with the older generation chatting and playing dominos, small hidden local bars serving traditional tapas and the feel of a real community. Alhaurin el Grande makes the ideal base for exploring the real Spain .
The Alhaurin el Grande gastronomy is ample and varied with typical plates such as: 'migas' breadcrumbs fried with garlic and 'gachas cachorreñas' porridge with spices, 'allullas', 'dolcas', patties, sauce, broths, garlic soup, and many desserts such as sponge toast and oil cakes.cakes, oil buns, fritters, macaroons, date bread, egg rusks, fried rusks,.
Nestled in the hills of the Mijas Mountain range, the Alhaurin Golf Resort is in a stunning location - just 15 minutes from the coast road to all destinations and attractions. The Alhaurín Golf resort is a unique sports and tourist development. Visiting golfers find themselves spoilt for choice, for there are 45 holes in all, 27 of which were designed by Seve Ballesteros. There is an 18 hole full-length course, a 9 hole short course and also the only 18 hole par 3 course in Andalucia. On the main course the fairways are long and narrow with greens protected by a fierce array of bunkers, lakes and gardens, but the fact that there are up to 6 different teeing areas at each hole means that the course can be adapted to any level of skill. Again for the Golf enthusiast, there are 5 different challenging courses within a 15 minute drive of the resort. Within a 50 minute drive there are the courses of Sotogrande, San Roque, Valderama and Almenara which are some of the golfing delights of the Costa del Sols 40 courses.

Guestbook for Villa Mariposa
The villa was wonderful and allowed us to have a very welcomed, fantastic holiday! We spent most of our holiday at the villa and we felt very comfortable there. You have a wonderful property situated in an amazing village. It has certainly given us food for the thought about future plans.
Thankyou so much for letting us rent it from you, we have had the best time and are very sorry to be home.
From Karen
Dear Mrs Savidge,
We really enjoyed our holiday at your lovely villa.
It was spacious, safe, extremely clean and very well equipped for our family of 8.
Your kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and had better appliances than ours at home.
We particularly enjoyed lounging around the pool, and the bar-b-q meant we made the most of the gorgeous weather.
Your villa was the best we haved stayed in for years, and we will definately book again for next year.
Many thanks,
Denise and Paul Rolling
p.s. We loved the big roof terrace, and watched the sun go down every evening from there, gin and tonics in hand.
We had a marvelous time and found it a good base to move around from. Having said that, we were quite happy just to spend time there enjoying the pool and relaxed peaceful atmosphere,eating outside and the endless sunshine.
From Chris.
Thank you again for the use of your villa.
We have stayed with you for a number of years now. As usual the villa was clean, well equipped, fab pool, we spent lots of time on the roof terrace soaking up the sun and looking at the breathtaking views!
We love shopping (lots of bargains), eating and soaking up local atmosphere in Alhaurin.
Can you confirm if the dates I requested are available please?
Pat & Will
We can't wait to visit again and will hopefully be in touch in the
future to book our next jolly!!!!
We really appreciated the maps and directions you sent to us and also
the book of places of interest that was in the villa on arrival, it
made everything so easy and accessible for us.
Many thanks.
Stephanie.

Eight of us had a really special holiday at your Villa.
Two children & six adults.
The men enjoyed the local golf courses.
It was hard to get the kids out of the pool!
Your kitchen is so well equipped it made catering very easy.
We had some lazy nights and easily got take aways delivered.
We walked to the local town a few times it took about 20 minutes.
Please feel free to put this on your web site.
Ann and John
Spacious and comfortable villa. Modern yet retaining traditional feel. Really good base for exploring the area nestled in the hills yet within short drive to the beach. Local town nearby with plenty of facilities. Enjoyed the pool. Would recommend for a relaxing Spanish holiday base.

About the owners,
Jackie & Vincent bought villa Mariposa in 2000 when they were working in Spain and fell in love with the villa and surrounding area (as I'm sure you will, when you visit). They love the area and the way of life, and most of all the people. Sadly work has brought them back to Debyshire, in England, which now makes it possible for you to rent this very special place.
We lived at the villa for 7 years, this Villa is of such a high standard as it was our home, we are happy to rent our home, to you, so you can enjoy it as well.
