The Region
 
Located 45 minutes to the east of Malaga airport, inland away from the hustle and bustle of the coast. You can choose to explore inland to Granada with its fabulous architecture and gardens or the historic town below. Antequera, a busy market town of Roman origin with its historic bullring, a 13th century castle and a wealth of history is also worth a visit.

There is the Wolf Park, where you can see different breeds of wolf during the day, or how about a BBQ and Howling Night? There is skiing in the Sierra Nevada which is close to Granada, a water park 20 minutes away. At Easter there are processions throughout Spain, when the statues of Jesus and The Virgin Mary portraying the Bible story are carried through the streets. These processions are spectacular and take place every night during the week leading up to Good Friday when all the Brotherhoods and bands of the armed forces parade until the early hours of the morning. These can be seen in the historic town of Velez-Malaga which lies close by. There are also the Passion Plays performed at Rio Gordo every year which are famous throughout Spain.

Nerja on the coast is a lovely old town where the new year is celebrated with a fabulous firework display on the Balcon de Europa overlooking the sea. On the ourskirts of the town, towards Maro, are the caves where concerts are held every summer in the massive underground chamber; well worth a visit. There are many other places to visit, and don't forget the beach as well.

Situated around the lake are various BBQ areas where you can enjoy a long, leisurely lunch, or perhaps a short drive to La Maroma mountain, spend time walking, have a picnic or BBQ or even lunch at the restaurant. Wild Boar and Deer can be seen in this area.

There are two golf courses within 30 minutes drive.
 		  

 
The Local Area
         
 

 

 

There is a small shop next to the two restaurants nearby. Small supermarkets and a butchers shop are within ten minutes drive. There are various local weekly markets; the one in Torre del Mar, on Thursday, is usually quite good for buying quality shoes at bargain prices.

This area of Spain is suited to all year round holidays; normally sunshine can be guaranteed. The winters are fairly mild and rainfall is usually infrequent.
