~ FROM BEAUTIFUL PROMENADES TO HISTORICAL SITES ~
Estepona
Estepona is one of the few coastal towns that has succeeded in maintaining its pueblo charm and character, despite the onslaught of tourism. The flip side is that the numerous street cafes and tapas bars still serve traditional Spanish delicacies and the steep, cobbled, narrow streets seem more suited to horses than cars. You'll also find unusual shops and bodegas in Estepona, where you'd least expect them, all very inviting and very friendly.
Puerto Banus
Puerto Banus is located just west of Marbella, before you reach the small town of San Pedro de Alcantara. This is the place to be pampered yachtside and ogle those fabulous luxury yachts while sipping a drink at one of the many open air restaurants and bars. The setting is close to ideal, with its impressive mountain backdrop and ocean views.
Marbella
The jewel of Marbella is its Casco Antiguo (old town), a picturesque maze of narrow steets. One of the prettiest places is the fabled 'Orange Square' which is located just off the main street. This is arguably one of the most delightful promenades on the costa, flanked by classy restaurants and bars and mercifully free of concrete skyscrapers.
Ronda
Ronda is one of Spain’s oldest cities. The wonderful views from the Puento Nuevo bridge, combined with the attractions of the old town and its historical interest make Ronda a top excursion for visitors staying along the coast. Ronda is also famous for its bullring, the oldest, and the most beautiful one in Spain; the arena itself is also the country's largest. When there are no fights, the bullring is open to visitors, and has a fascinating museum.
Gibraltar
The silent journey to the top of the Rock by cable car rewards you with a truly breathtaking view. Visit the Apes’ Den, home to some of Gibraltar’s famous Barbary Apes, the only free-to-roam primates in Europe. The spectacular natural caverns of St Michael’s Cave begin about 350m above sea level and descend into the Rock. The Great Siege Tunnels have been brought to life with the installation of various exhibitions within its chambers re-enacting some scenes lived in these tunnels.
