Home description
Casa Marina is located overlooking the small coastal village of Mezquitilla and the Mediterranean Sea, which is only half a kilometre away. Here you have the best of both worlds, beach by day and then the tranquility of the campo in your own private hideaway. The apartment enjoys one of the best views in the area. There are miles of beautiful beaches within easy reach all along the coast, and usually with nearby parking. You will be surprised at how uncrowded many of them are, even in high season. All amenities are nearby - shops, markets, golf, beaches and a great many very good restaurants. A good 3 course "menu del dia" typically costs less than 8€ and of course, being so near the sea, the fresh fish is fantastic.

The Costa del Sol/Malaga region
This area is known as having the best climate on the Costa del Sol. The weather here is wonderful for most of the year. While the sun is not guaranteed during winter it is often possible to sit out and sunbathe, even in January! In fact the winter is often considered to be the ideal time for sightseeing. There are many festivals which take place throughout the year and are always fun. One of the best is the Nerja Feria, which takes place in October and lasts for a week. Shops shut, schools close and the parties go on all night. Another good one is San Juan, on 23rd June. On the night of this it is permitted to camp out on the beach ( we can supply a tent if guests wish to join in) ,again the party goes on all night!
Torrox / Mezquitilla area
Mezquitilla, is part of the coastal area of Velez-Malaga. Being only 7 minutes from the motorway and just off the N340 coast road it is the ideal location for anyone wishing to explore Andalucia.
There are many attractions to visit depending on whether you want something nearby or prefer to venture further afield. A few suggestions...
Near to Casa Marina, only a 12 minute drive away is the popular resort area of Nerja. This is a pretty town, very popular with tourists of all nationalities. A great way to see the town is to take the Tourist Train that trundles through the streets several times a day, or hire one of the horse and carts to be found on the Balcon de Europa. Although a tourist resort, Nerja is still very Spanish. It has some lovely beaches, many restaurants, bars and shops and is a lovely place just to wander around and take in the atmosphere.
Nearby at Maro are the famous Nerja Caves which are quite spectacular and well worth a visit. More caves and with completely different characteristics ( and fewer steps) are the 'Cuevas del Tesoro' (Treasure Caves) at La Cala de Moral. www.cuevadeltesoro.com There is also a small playground next to the caves.
Frigiliana, known as one of Andalucia's prettiest white villages is also nearby and we highly recommend that you use a local tour guide to talk you through the fascinating history of the town. It is lovely to take a tour in the morning (a sample of the local wine is included) then relax and have a coffee or lunch in one of the many restaurants. These all have terraces tucked away where you can enjoy the spectacular view down to the coast.
There are many lovely typical Spanish villages in the area to explore, such as nearby Algarrobo Pueblo or Benagalbon which has a tiny unique, museum. Knock on the door and the delightful caretaker will be only too pleased to open it up just for you. In many of the villages you will find elderly Spanish ladies selling fruit and veg from the open door of their home, giving you a fascinating glimpse of their life.
At Velez-Malaga there is a water park www.aquavelis.es as well as a shopping mall with a Bowling Alley and cinema. Other activities in the area are Go Karting, horse riding and scuba diving. Children also love the Nerja donkey sanctuary www.nerjadonkeysanctuary.com where they can feed and groom the animals and even adopt a donkey!
A short drive inland will take you to the beautiful Lake Vinuela area. Another lovely place with beautiful views to have lunch!
There are local markets on most days of the week as well as evening markets on some of the beaches. The nearest market is held on a Saturday morning at Caleta de Velez. This bustling market is full of bargains, fresh fruit, spices and pottery souveniers. Just across the road from the market is Caleta port and Marina. There is plenty of parking around the Marina (which only the locals tend to know about) and a very good restaurant. There is also a lovely beach just along from here and some very good chiringuitos!
During summer there are a variety of activities and events that take place on the paseo from live music to Spanish salsa classes for anyone to join in.
There are many lovely walks in the area particularly in the National Parks. We provide guide books and suggestions for walks at different levels of difficulty.
Jeep tours and guided tours can also be arranged.
Further afield, you may wish to take a trip to Granada and the Alhambra Palace (book tickets in advance), or Ronda with it's spectacular gorge, Cordodoba and Gibraltar are also well within reach for a day trip. There are just too many places to cover, but we supply guide books to help you decide.
There are many festivals in Spain celebrated throughout the year often with fun fairs and fireworks. See what's on here. http://www.absoluteaxarquia.com/fiestas.html
