traditional, white Spanish town but with many supermarkets, banks,
bars and restaurants. It is mainly Spanish but there are a few
Enlish and Dutch bar/restaurants. There are even places to dance at
the weekend and a frequent bus service to Malaga City. Car hire is
necessary if you want to go out of the area.

It is less than an hours drive to the beautiful city of Granada,
with the Alhambra Palace. In 40 minutes you can be in Malaga City
with its famous cathedral and Picasso Museum, also very good for
shopping and with great places to eat. The historic town of
Antequerra is a short drive to the North and about 30 minutes to the
East is Nerja with its lovely beaches and the famous Balcone de
Europa. You can head south to the coast of Torremolinos with its
charming chiringitas (beach cafes) and little shops and Benalmadena
which has a wonderful Marina. There is an Aqua Park in Torremolinos,
also a crocodile park, and Tivoli funfair. There are 3 nature
reserves in the area, Montes de Malaga, Torcal, and Fuente de Piedra
with its famous flamingo lake. Closer to home you can howl with the
wolves at Lobo Park or go boating on Vinuela Lake.
