------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dolphin Safari See Gibraltar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Equestrian Show Featuring the famous Andalucian Horses See Estepona ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Casinos Located in Marbella, Puerto Banus and Gibraltar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Selwo National Park Selwo National Park, 20 minutes drive from the apartment, between Estepona and San Pedro, on the site originally assigned for Euro Disney, is an innovative Nature Park, unique in Europe that invites you to live a real adventure surrounded by nature. It has more than 100 hectares where you will enjoy its contrasting features, sometimes wild and sometimes blissful, and where animals of the five continents coexist in semi wild conditions This is a fantastic day out for all ages. Cost is €15.00 approx. per adult and €10.00 per child. The lower end of the park is where you can see the monkeys, crocodiles, farm animals etc. Then you pass through a huge aviary to the upper park where there are snack bars and restaurants. From here there are safari trucks that take you to the outer areas of the park to see the lions, tigers, elephants, bears, etc. Not to be missed. Allow a full day for Selwo. Tip for children in buggies: The terrain is very rough in parts so take the opportunity to hire one of the special kiddies buggies inside the park and bring your camera. A comprehensive plan of the park is available free at the entrance with a suggested route to follow and ensure that you see everything. The park is basically separated into five sections: 1. Gateway to Nature 2. Birds Canyon 3. Central Village 4. Route of the Savannah 5. Route of the Valleys Apart from the walking sections, there are large open lorries, which take visitors from one section of the park to the other and allow an open view. There are some smaller enclosures for the monkeys and tropical birds, but all are well tended and it was great to see no signs of stress so often associated with typical town zoos. The park has a breeding programme which is apparently very successful and they are planning specialised learning weekends with onsite accommodation. There are bars and restaurants (open for meals from 12.00) which offer everything from snacks to three course meals. We found the prices to be surprisingly reasonable. Also, several gift shops offer a range of souvenirs, books and gift items for all ages. Highly Recommended
Tivoli World Tivoli World in Benalmadena offers great fun for younger (up to 12 year old) children. Admission is €5.00 and a travel pass for unlimited access to most of the rides costs €12.00. The park is a spanish version of Disney's Magic Kingdom, is well run and good value. Opening times are 5.00p.m. to 1.00a.m. There are traditional shows and food & drinks are good value. Benalmadena is 50 mins from Duquesa. Tivoli World is near Selwo Marina so a visit to both provides a great day and night out. Highly recommended.
Selwo Marina Located in Benalmadena, near Tivoli World, this park hosts a fantastic dolphin show, a sea lions show, a parrot show and you can also visit Penguin World. Admission is €15.00

Marbella / La Duquesa Port area
Marbella This world famous town, perhaps best known as the playground of the rich and famous never ceases to surprise visitors with its beauty and history dating back to 1600BC. If you are in town for the shops and restaurants you will certainly not be disappointed. Top names abound along the main street in the newer part of town and if you want somewhere to relax and enjoy a drink try the ´Puerto Deportivo´ or leisure port, which is well signposted from the main street. The top tourist resort on the Costa Del Sol is located 30 minutes drive East from the apartment. Spend the afternoon on Marbella's beautiful beach, walk the stylish promenade and shop in the upmarket shops and boutiques. Visit Marbella "Old Town" in the evening and explore the narrow paved streets and open squares where the Spanish gather in the local bars, cafés and restaurants. Orange Square, is the centre of the Old Town and is surrounded by maze of narrow paved streets with small shops, restaurants, galleries and typical, village style houses. Call to Puerto Banus on your way back to Duquesa. Puerto Banus Puerto Banus is a 25-minute drive from the apartment, and is definitely a millionaire's paradise! The marina abounds with million dollar yachts and the brand name stores cater for their millionaire customers. The restaurants here are surprisingly good value. Try one of the Argentinean restaurants (El Gaucho; Tango's; Mona Lisa) for juicy steaks, huge portions and great value. Puerto Banus is famous for its nightlife, with popular night clubs and discotheques. Nightlife starts here after midnight! A must for party animals, Puerto Banus is the capital of nightlife on the Costa del Sol. See how the other half live and treat yourself to a day of indulgence. There are designer clothes and shoe shops galore as well as perfumeries, gift shops and art galleries. Even a sea life centre! If you want to stay late that is when Puerto Banús comes to life. Choose from salsa, disco or live music or even enjoy a pint of the black stuff in the authentic Irish Pub. The choices of nightlife are endless but one thing is for sure. You can bop ´til you drop with most of the bars open until dawn.
Marbella was originally called Salduba when discovered by the Romans and the old part of Marbella known as the Casco Antiguo is built upon Roman ruins. The Moors invaded Spain in 711 and the whole Iberian Peninsula was overrun. Marbella (then Marbi-la) became prosperous built in accordance with Mediterranean-Arab architecture. In 1845 the Catholic Kings reconquered the town and it is thought that at this time it was given its present name literally meaning ´beautiful sea´ in Spanish. The architectural style was once again changed giving way to wider streets and larger houses in typical Casillian style. The Orange Square in the old part of the town bears witness to the history of the town. Opened in 1485 it is surrounded by three historical buildings: The Town Hall (1568), the Old Governors House (1552), and the Hermitage of Santiago (15th century). In the centre of the square is a bust of King Juan Carlos I. Another interesting spot to visit is the Church Square with the beautiful and historical Church of Saint Mary (1618). There are also a great many shrines and Roman ruins to be found in the town.
