Things to do nearby: You are surrounded by things to do at La Perla. Stroll along the beach to Sabinillas - a typical Spanish coastal village. Stop off at the beach bar along the way. Stroll further to Duquesa Marina, to enjoy port-side browsing, or an evening meal in any of a large selection of cafes, bars and restaurants. There is enjoyable but restrained night-life here. Manilva village, with its old Roman ruins is a classic example of Andalusian antiquity, and the most unique of all of the 'pueblos blancos' - Casares - is a mere 15 minutes inland. There are pleasant trips to Gibraltar (30 minutes) Granada or Seville (2.5 hours), and a ferry to Morroco is an absolute must.
Shopping and Browsing: Everyday essentials are available at a convenience store immediately nearby, and all the usual supermarket, ATM and pharmacy facilities are in the nearby village (3 minutes drive). Excellent shopping in Estepona (15 minutes drive), and high fashion boutiques abound in Puerto Banus and Marbella (25/30 minutes), Open-air markets are extremely popular, most mornings. The best of them are: Puerto Banus (Saturday); Sabinillas (Sunday morning); Sotogrande (Sunday afternoon); Estepona (Wednesday).
