The Coin area

LOCAL TOWNS
Las Brisas is in the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas, between the typical Andalucian towns of Coin and Alhaurin El Grande. As well as many shops, bars and restaurants, regular local festivals and weekly markets bring their church squares and narrow whitewashed streets to life.

SIGHTSEEING
MIJAS (15mins) - the most famous of the whitewashed pueblos of Andalucia, perched high on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean. Renowned for donkey rides and horsedrawn carriages through its narrow streets.
MARBELLA (30mins) - centred around the attractive Old Town with its picturesque Orange Square, Marbella is the Costa del Sol's premiere resort for shopping and nightlife.
PUERTO BANUS (35mins) - famous for its designer shops, restaurants, and nightclubs, set around its exclusive marina.
MALAGA (30mins) - hometown to Pablo Picasso and Antonio Banderas, Malaga is often overlooked by visitors to the Costa del Sol. It is a thriving Spanish port with a picturesque Old Town, vast cathedral, Moorish castle, impressive Picasso museum and excellent shopping.
LAKE DISTRICT AND EL CHORRO GORGE (45mins) - the narrow gorge cut into the rock by the Guadalhorce river is at the centre of an area of outstanding natural beauty with wooded ravines and unusual rock formations. Close by is an impressive network of lakes. Ideal day out for walkers, climbers and picnics.
RONDA (1hr) - white pueblo perched high above a rocky gorge, with Roman and
Moorish remains. The home of bullfighting, with an historic bullring and matador museum.
ANTEQUERA (1hr) - market town since Roman times, renowned for its speciality products of olive oil, "polvorones" (almond sweets), and "molletes" (special bread rolls). Nearby are prehistoric dolmens and the flamingo breeding lake of Laguna Fuente de Piedra.
A little further afield, but worth the journey for the adventurous are GIBRALTAR (1h15mins), GRANADA (1h45mins), CORDOBA (2hrs) and SEVILLE (2h30mins).

GOLF AND TENNIS
Alhaurin Golf (10 mins) - a beautiful 18-hole championship-standard golf course designed by Seve Ballesteros, with wonderful mountain views and luxurious facilities. Tennis is available at the adjoining hotel.
Lauro Golf (15 mins) - 27 holes overlooking the Guadalhorce valley. Relaxed atmosphere in the typical cortijo-style clubhouse.
Mijas Golf and Santana Golf are 20 minute's drive away and at least 20 more of the Costa del Sol's golf courses can be in reached in 20-45 minutes.

OUTDOOR PURSUITS
HORSERIDING - the area can be explored on horseback from several riding schools in the area.
BIRDWATCHING - among the birds to be seen regularly from the villa itself are eagles, buzzards, owls, hawks, partridges, golden oriels, bee-eaters, hoopoes, swifts and swallows. The Laguna Fuente de Piedra, the most important flamingo nesting site in Spain, is near Antequera, just an hour's drive away.
WALKING - there are extensive walking trails throughout the nearby Sierra del las Nieves, including the spectacular walk to the summit of La Concha which gives panoramic views of the whole Costa del Sol from Gibraltar to the Sierra Nevada and across the Mediterranean to the African Coast.
SKI-ING - during the season many of our guests enjoy a day trip to the slopes of the Sierra Nevada, a couple of hours away.

“Perfect to get away from it all!” we chose Casas Las Brisas as a last mintue option for a much-needed break where we wanted to do nothing much. It turned out to be the perfect place. The owner Jackie was extremely helpful... more

“Little gem of a cottage” We enjoyed staying in this pretty little cottage. It was very well appointed and had everything we needed. The only thing we could have had more of in May was sun - it rained and was windy. On the sunny days having the pool was a real bonus. Very easy to get to the lovely towns and villages around including Antequera, Rondo, Malaga, Marbella - but the house itself is off the beaten track which suited us. The owners are very nice and were very willing to help when needed.

“Fantastic Little Hideaway” Great little place. Perfect for two. Everything you could want. Plenty of space. Kitchen very well equipped. Comfy sofas with freesat TV. Efficient air con. Comfy double bed. Lovely patio area with seating for 4 with views over hills. Lovely private plunge pool. Almost at the end of a quiet road with only the occasional sounds of horses from the rescue centre down the road. Car parking o/s front door for one car. Spiral stairs are a feature but no good for anyone with mobility issues/small children. Suggestion to owner. Put a bed settee in lounge and becomes great place for family of four or two couples. This is second time we have used it (using the large villa next door too for the rest of the gang!) and I would definately book it again.

“Wonderful - cant wait to return!” Had a great time in this cottage. It was so peaceful at night , we slept so well. The cottage was very clean . Karen who cleans it was very helpful during our stay. The welcome pack was a nice extra. We loved sitting by the pool and seeing the shepherd taking his sheep down the hill. Also loved eating dinner out by the pool. Loved Alhurin el Grande, it was nice to sit having a coffee with the locals during the day. Great restaurant there called Santiago which we went to twice. We went to Mijas while we were there, which was a lovely Spanish town in the mountains and also visited Puerto Banus, where we liked to sit people watching! Cant wait to go back, already booked for next year!

Guestbook for Las Brisas Casita

Just to let you know we had a lovely stay in your villa recently. The cottage was well equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay with more than enough crockery and cutlery. It was lovely in a morning watching the sun rise and then in the evening setting. The views were nearly 360 deg. We enjoyed watching the herd of goats and shepherd that came every night passed the villa and also the donkey and horses that were nearby. The villa is certainly in a peaceful location yet very convenient for visiting the coastal resorts or visiting The Spanish Lake District which we really enjoyed. I certainly will recommend your villa and hope to return again.
Regards, Christine and Allan Heseltine Feb 2011

We've had a fab time - thanks for making us feel so at home in your casita. This is the best equipped villa we have stayed in. Weve been here on 3 occasions and loved each one and and we will definitely be back again.
Susan & Mike, Dundee

My fiance Brett and I came to your cottage for 7 nights in July and had the most wonderful time, in fact I couldn't find anything wrong at all! Brett is a very light sleeper so always takes ear plugs wherever we go. For the first time ever when on holiday he simply didn't need them; it was so peaceful - absolute bliss! We couldn't fault the cottage's location and facilities - great bbq, lovely pool and for the duration of our stay we didn't want for anything as the cottage is so well equipped. We had planned to drive into the village for evening dinner but only ate out once as we couldn't bring ourselves to leave! We have always preferred booking direct with an owner rather than through a hotel and this break confirmed our sentiment. It's clear that Richard and yourself love your cottage and take great care of it, which means you care about the renters holiday as much as they do. We would not hesitate to come back to the Casita and are even considering booking in advance for a 1 week break next summer; something we've never considered before. Thanks for an unforgettable break. Regards, Beverley and Brett

Hello again Jackie!
We just wanted to thank you for an amazing week we got to spend in your casita. As we mentioned, we have been to Spain a lot with self catering(about 10 times) and I can honestly say that your casita is the best place we have ever been to in Spain. It was close to everything you need, theres a taxi that knows the place, the house is clean, well equipped and beautiful. This is a place we can definitely recommend to everybody, it really made our holiday .Thanks again. Tiina+Thomas, Finland. August 2010
