Places to see

Marbella Old Town

The old town of Marbella is absolutely charming and a must to visit. The streets are narrow and cobbled, with chic boutiques and local cafés side by side. At the heart of the Old Town known as "El Casco Antiguo" lies the Orange Square, which is also where the tourist office is ready to give you maps and information. Cross the road from the Alameda Park fountain and walk through the Orange Square past the old castle wall and into the impressive Cathedral. The Old Town is perfect for shopping and relaxing in the many cafés, restaurants and bars.

Ronda

Despite being Andalucía's fastest-growing town - it overtook Córdoba in the big three Andaluz tourist attractions, behind Sevilla and Granada, in the early 21st century - Ronda retains much of its historic charm, particularly its old town. It is famous worldwide for its dramatic escarpments and views, and for the deep El Tajo gorge that carries the rio Guadalevín through its center. Visitors make a beeline for the 18th century Puente Nuevo 'new' bridge, which straddles the 100m chasm below, for its unparalleled views out over the Serranía de Ronda Mountains.

Mijas Pueblo

One of the jewels of the Costa del Sol is the beautiful little village of Mijas. White charming Spanish little village with spectacular views which nestles comfortably in the mountainside at 428 meters above sea level. It is only a 15min drive from La Cala, and you should defiantly spend a few hours here during your stay. Parking in the large parking garage is easy.

Porto Banus

Puerto Banus is in Nueva Andalucia suburb of Marbella, 6km to the west of the town center. Although it may at first appear as a developed old Spanish fishing village with an impressive mountain backdrop. Puerto Banus was in fact designed and built in 1970 by local property developer José Banús as a luxury marina and shopping complex.

Malaga - Centro Histórico

It is easy to understand why Malaga City is dubbed the Capital of the Costa del Sol. Once considered the poor cousin of Andalusia’s capital city, Seville, it now competes successfully for attention, thanks to its profusion of quirky museums, delightful old town center, innovative restaurants and many trendy rooftop terraces with bar, pool and stunning views. Muelle Uno is the latest addition - a contemporary leisure complex in the port – and Malaga has its own popular wide beach.
