Entertainment:
There is so much to entertain all tastes, and all budgets. Puerto Banus has the famous stretch of bars, restaurants, clubs where you can sip your drinks overlooking the Marina. Especially good night spots are Pangea, at the edge of the port & Olivia Valere in Istan for that late night dance. You may bump in to Antonio Banderas here! For lazy days lying on the beach try Silks by the Sea or renowned Nikki Beach Club (also in St Tropez & Miami) where you can hire a great double sun bed, or even 4 poster sun beds, how romantic! Very relaxing music with excellent restaurants.
At the Benalmadena Port there is a huge selection of pizzeria, tapas bars, clubs, etc. Highly recommend Metro ,El Mero, Pinnocchios, or Nachos mexican here. Train ride around the port, or take the cable car to view the whole area from above. Torrequebrada Casino has a great Dinner Show. You could spend the day relaxing in the excellent Nagomi Spa on the Resort, (2 minutes walk).
Peurto Banus & Marbella Old Town:
Famous the world over, the glamorous marina of Puerto Banus, with its rows of impossibly luxurious yachts, is one of those places the rich, and famous get together. A place to be seen, yes, but also a wonderful place for people-watching, be it by day or as things start to heat up during the long summer nights. Super sleek yachts, limousines, and super powered sports cars, designer boutiques and a collection of some of the finest restaurants, bars and clubs make this a classic in the time-honoured glamour-style of St Tropez and Monte Carlo.
Radiating out from Orange Square, less than a KM from the beach, Marbella's old town is a wonderful maze of beautifully kept historical houses, alleyways and secluded patios in the finest of Andalucian styles. Some of the best shops, restaurants, tapas bars are hidden away in the delightfully picturesque back streets, where it is a pleasure to wander. The Costa Del Sol has become very cosmopolitan, and has something to suit everyone's taste.
Day Trips:
Hop across the Straits of Gibraltar, a short trip on ferry or high speed hydrofoil and you will be in Morocco in exotic places such as Tanger or Cueta, where Kasbahs, snake charmers and belly-dancers are still a part of every day life. Picasso Museum Malaga is an entire museum dedicated to its most illustrious son and puts Malaga on the map in the world of art, a must see! Riding into the Sunset, with the stud farms and proud equestrian heritage of Andalucia, the Costa Del Sol is endowed with a great many horse-riding centres where you can take lessons, rent gear and pick a fine horse to ride, but the more experienced horsemen and women may wish to explore the beautiful countryside or early morning beaches on horse back. Just picture yourself galloping along the beach. Gibraltar is only an hour’s drive away for shopping. Sierra Nevada Ski Resort is only 2.5 hours drive away so set off early and you can hit the slopes skiing all day, and be back to lie on the beach by the afternoon.
