House:
The house is built in townhouse style on two levels. Upstairs there is a utility room with washing machine, large dining/lounge with doors on to large upper terrace which is fully equipped with table, chairs, loungers and barbeque. Also on this floor there is a fully fitted kitchen (also with access to the terrace), twin bedroom and bathroom. Downstairs consists of one twin bedroom with en suite bathroom and one double bedroom with king size bed and en suite bathroom. Both bedrooms lead onto a smaller terrace. The floors throughout are white marble. The house provides a high level of comfort but remains child friendly
The Area:
La Herradura is a small village which has developed around a horseshoe shaped bay with over 1 mile of beach. It is approx. 1 hour from Malaga, 15 minutes from Nerja, 10 minutes from the beautiful town of Almunecar with its castle, roman ruins, winding streets and popular Friday market, 1 hour from Granada, 1.5 hours from skiing at Sierra Nevada and 1 hour from the white villages of the Alpujarras. There are many beaches to choose from within a short drive of La Aldea with water sports available on the beach at La Herradura. The area has many excellent restaurants but does not have a frantic nightlife!
Car recommended:
Because of its situation a car is essential, both to explore this beautifully unspoilt part of Spain and for day to day journeys to and from the village. We will be pleased to recommend a car hire company which we have found to be very reliable with lower prices than any others we have used.
Ski:
Execellent skiing is available at Sierra Nevada, approximately one and a half hours drive away.
Golf:
There are several golf courses in the area with the closest being at Salobrena - approximately 15 minutes drive away and others at Nerja - approx. 20 mins drive.
Other Activities:
