  Attractions

 

These are just some of the attractions in the local area. There are many other places to visit and a comprehensive range of tourist information awaits you at the apartment.

 

 

 

Marbella Old Town

 

Partially surrounded by the ruins of an old Arab wall with narrow white washed streets, old churches and squares, as well as lots of fascinating shops and boutiques. 

 

At the heart of old town is Orange Square which dates back to 1485 and is surrounded by whitewashed houses and three historical buildings - the town hall, the old governor's house and the Chapel (Hermitage) of Santiago. The gardens are full of brightly coloured flowers and orange trees and are surrounded by several small cafes and bars. 

 

 

 

Gibralter

 

Steeped in history, Gibraltar contains some of the most extensive military fortifications in Europe, spanning over 1200 years of Moorish, Spanish and British history. 

 

Tourists can enjoy some of the finest caves in Europe as well as the famous semi-wild apes, breathtaking scenery and colonial architecture.

 

As a VAT free jurisdiction, Gibraltar's popularity with visitors is enhanced by its value added shopping experience in famed Main Street.

 

 

 

Mijas

 

One of the jewels of the Costa del Sol is the beautiful little village of Mijas, which nestles comfortably in the mountainside above Feungirola.


Wander through the narrow cobbled streets of this picturesque Andalucian village and browse the craft shops that have some wonderful hand made pottery, paintings and prints by acclaimed local artists. 

 

There are many restaurants dotted around the village, horse and carriage rides and traditional dancing by local people in the village square.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tivoli World - Benalmadena


Tivoli World Theme Park is designed for adults as well as children and has wonderful gardens, fountains, walkways, numerous bars and restaurants.

 

International events, ballet and children's shows are held in the theatre and flamenco dancing in the Andalucia Square.

 

This park is one of the oldest established on the Costa Del Sol where you'll enjoy many classical attractions as well as the latest generation or thrilling rides.

 

 

 

 

Feungirola Zoo

 

Wander through this simulated tropical forest, lush with vegetation, rivers and waterfalls, you'll see crocodiles basking on the sandy shores of the Nile, Sumatra tigers bathing besides Angkor Wat, lemurs playing around an ancient Baobab tree and, if you're brave, bats flitting around abandoned mines. 

Wherever you look in this pioneer zoo, the only thing between you and the animals are natural barriers like bridges and riverbanks, or bulletproof windows that allow you to get right up close, even to razor-sharp crocodile teeth.

 

 

 

Granada

 

When the Romans colonised southern Spain, they built their own city here and called it Illibris. The Arabs, invading the peninsula in the 8th century, gave it its current name of Granada. 

 

It was the last Muslim city to fall to the Christians in 1492, at the hands of Queen Isabel of Castile and her husband Ferdinand of Aragon. 

 

Visit the fantastic Alhambra Palace within a couple of hours drive of the apartment. We would recommend telephoning to book in advance.
