Car Hire:
We recommend you hire a car. We can organise this for you with a local operator who will bring the car to the airport or you can do this yourself. Having your own car will enable you to explore the region. Ronda (the gorge), Nerja (caves), Granada (the Alhambra) and Gibralter are all within an easy day's drive. Seville and Cadiz a little further. The market at the bull ring on Saturday morning is an event that attracts 'le tous Marbella' and not to be missed. And for aficionados of the 'beautiful game' Malaga is only 40 minutes away. In the Summer there is horse racing in the evening up the road at Mijas
Sailing:
If you enjoy sailing we can arrange for a friend to take you out on his boat for 50 euros per person per day. This is a fraction of the cost of chartering a boat yourself. This needs to be arranged in advance and is of course subject to the weather and the availability of the boat. We were out yesterday and a pod of dolphins kept us company through the morning!
Children:
Club Sierra is very child friendly. There is a separate children's pool and in the Summer a lifeguard is on duty for much of the day. The Cave Bar has a children's menu and can always serve food that children will enjoy.
Further afield, the Spanish like children. They take them with them wherever and whenever they go. All of the restaurants welcome children who often become the centre of attention. Don't be surprised to keep tripping over them down at the port long after 'Cinderella should have left the ball'.
Ski:
It tends to be rather hot in Marbella for most of the year although in winter the snow covered mountains are sometimes visible. The nearest skiing is a 4 hour drive up into the mountains in the winter only.
Golf:
Club Sierra sits at the entrance to Golf Valley. You can walk from the apartment to the Marbella Golf School (driving range) and the nearest golf course or you can tee off at a different course everyday. Los Naranjos is just up the hill and Aloha is down the other side. La Quinta is a bit further on and if you keep going you will come to Valderama. If your handicap is low enough you might even bump into Jimenez or Garcia. However, the courses can get busy and in the height of Summer it is advisable to avoid the hottest part of the day. We advise booking in advance. You can do this on the internet where a number of packages are available or we can arrange this for you, you decide.
Other Activities:
Relaxing, retail therapy, people watching, nightlife
