Puerto Cabopino holiday apartment. Spacious 3-bedroom, sunny apartment, 5 mins. to beach

SHOPPING: One of the many things we love about Marbella and our little part of it, Carib Playa, is the cosmopolitan flair.The supermarkets carry all conceivable kinds of food from Irish, British, German and Scandinavian to both modern and traditional Spanish. The range and quality of fresh fish available is also stunning and whether you want to shop at the local Doña Catalina's mini-market on the square in Pueblo Andaluz or go to OPENCOR, a supermarket open 24/7-both within walking distance of the apartment- or drive/bus to ELVIRIA(5 minutes' drive towards MARBELLA CENTRE ) or CALAHONDA ( 5 minutes' drive back towards MALAGA) there is literally nothing you have to do without on your holiday including up to date Irish and British newspapers. You meet people from all over and the Spanish residents are friendly and extremely helpful. English is spoken is all the shops and restaurants but if you want to try your bit of Spanish they are thrilled and really encouraging.

DAY TRIPS: We've done day trips to JEREZ- the home of sherry-, CORDOBA, GRANADA, SEVILLE, RONDA, and GIBRALTAR. In JEREZ you can do a superb tour of the GONZALEZ BYASS/TIO PEPE winery(we've done it twice and definitely recommend it. Buy the ticket that includes tapas!) and have lunch or a drink in the DOMECQ restaurant in the CALLE LARGA where they have their own sherry on draught! Each of the 3 great Andalusian cites is fascinating in its own way but CORDOBA is my personal favourite with the Roman bridge over the Guadalquivir and the MESQUITA which was a mosque and then a cathedral and now both. I think GIBRALTAR is well worth visiting but the family is very divided on this-you'll have to make up your own mind. You'll find maps and info on restaurants and other day trips in the bookcase in the apartment so you can plan your own days out.

THINGS TO DO: Restaurants-every kind you can imagine-Indian, Chinese, Italian, Irish-THE JOSHUA TREE-, British-ALBERT'S in Cabopino is a must if you can't survive without your Sunday roast-, all the usual fast food outlets as well as of course Spanish in all varieties. There is a restaurant every few hundred yards along the beach all the way into the town centre and several chiringuitos which are more casual and often specialise in grilled sardines or paella. Our favourite is a Cuban one which is really just a thatched shack but both the mojitos and the Cuban music are really special and they offer salsa classes on a Monday night!
