The Costa del Sol region

Known for its long hours of sunshine and mild winters the Costa del Sol makes holidaying enticing throughout the year.
Picturesque mountain villages such as Mijas, Casares and Gaucin are dotted around the local mountain landscape and along with the old Roman town of Ronda, make fascinating day trips.

Malaga has an historic castle, ornate cathedral and Picasso Museum.
Granada's Alhambra Palace reflects the Moorish influence of the area as does the Mesquita at Cordoba.
Along with superb caves at Nerja and Gibraltar, Estepona and the Sierra Nevada mountain range are within a day's visit for the more adventurous.

The Mediterranean and local mountains provide the perfect backdrop for many visits including Fuengirola castle set on the hill nearby.

The Mijas Costa / El Chaparral, Mijas Costa area

The closest beach is just 10 minutes walk away, over the pedestrian bridge which crosses the coastal dual carriageway. Two convenience stores are also within 5-10 minutes walk.

The beautiful beach of La Cala is only 5 minutes drive away and has a variety of shops in addition to plenty of golden sand. Just 5 minutes drive in the opposite direction is the town of Fuengirola with an excellent zoo, aquapark, marina, beaches, shops, restaurants and a busy nightlife.

Quality shopping is available half-an-hour's drive away in Marbella. From the excellent restaurants dotted along the nearby marina of Puerto Banus, luxurious yachts can be seen, along with the rich and famous.

Para-sailing, tennis, riding and mini golf are available locally as well as scenic walks, and horse-racing at the nearby hippodromo race track.

There are superb golf courses at Mijas and La Cala and many more within a short drive by car.

A cablecar ride and exciting safari-park can also be found nearby - there really is something for everyone!

“very well finished apartment” we r just back from a very nice week in this apartment. everything is supplied and its very well finished. air-con could be better as it was in the 30's while we were there. the back bedroom had very good aircon but if u ran the aircon n the sittingroom and front bedroom together the temp wouldnt come down that much as the temp is set at 18 degrees and it was a bit hot at night time, but overall the pools (2) grounds and apartment is spot on. its very secure. security fencing and electric gate makes the place very safe. u can get a bus within 5 mins walk but u really would need a car. we couldnt find any major fault overall and we wolud have no problem in staying there again. its privately owned by a very nice lady, i never met her face to face only e-mails but she is very helpful with info of the whole area if u werent there before. the apartment is very well maintained by an english couple who are very nice and helpfull also who will meet u on arrival and are there if u need the them for any advice or problem. overall a very relaxed and enjoyable week.

Gregory Guestbook Comments

‘It is always a pleasure to stay in this apartment; we have many times. The facilities are first class, impeccably maintained and spotlessly clean.

‘Apartment exceptional – views magic.’ Michael, from Dorset, February 2009

‘Once again we have just returned from our third visit to the apartment over the past five years! The apartment provides outstanding family accommodation with all necessities catered for. It enables you to have a home from home holiday but with the beauty of being positioned in a lovely complex surrounded by two pools and a jacuzzi to relax in. The apartment has amazing views of the mountains and the ocean, which can be appreciated from the balcony as the sun sets, with a nice glass of wine!’ Neil, Joanna, Lucy and Alex from Wirral, August 2010

‘We have been going to this apartment for many years and can highly recommend this well cared for and appointed property. Everything to make a holiday very enjoyable is supplied. The gardens and swimming pools in this gated community are superb. It certainly is a home from home with a delightful feel to it.’ A and C from Tyne and Wear, March 2010

‘This is a truly outstanding privately owned property situated in an elevated position, affording extensive views towards Gibraltar and North Africa. It has absolutely everything needed for a comfortable stay and is maintained to an exceptionally high standard by the owners and managers. We have enjoyed five superb winter visits.’ Barbara, January 2009

R and J, Colchester, March 2005
