Excursions
Coast/Beaches
The beach of Torre del Mar is 30 mins away – tapas bars, ice-cream and ‘chiringitos’ – beachfront seafood restaurants. Try the local favourite ‘espeto’ , it’s delicious! Thursday is market day in Torre. Nerja has some great beaches too. More information about the beaches is given in the information pack at casa belmonte.
Malaga city is an hours drive and makes for a wonderful day out. Great architecture, a port, interesting museums, a fabulous food market and lovely restaurants and shops.
Inland
The historic town of Alhama de Granada is only 20 mins inland – hot springs, cobbled streets, old churches, medieval architecture and a breathtaking gorge. A walk through the gorge is fabulous in the morning before it heats up! Treat yourself to tasty tapas in one of Alhama’s lovely bars in Plaza e Constitucion.
Alternatively have cultural day out in one of Andalucia’s beautiful cities – Granada and Cordoba are all within an hour or two drive. Visit the Alhambra palace in Granada ( you will have to book this prior to your holiday), the Picasso museum in Malaga or the Mezquita in Cordoba.
Water Fun
There is a water park just by Torre del Mar which is a great day trip for both adults and kids! More information and directions on this and other attractions are in the information pack at casa belmonte.
AquaVinuela – based on lake Vinuela, next to Hotel Vinuela, offers kayaking and sailing on the lake plus bike hire.
Golf
There are plenty of courses along the coast nearby. Alternatively drive inland to Antequera Golf – approx 50 mins.
