Golf, swimming, walking and skiing.:
Whilst our house is situated in a small hill village it is only ten minute drive away from the nearest Golf Course (Anoreta - a beautiful 18 hole parkland course) and a further fifteen minutes along the coast from the next. Golfers can reach many courses from this base with no more than an hour's drive. For Enthusiastic swimmers ... There is a new village swimming pool with all facilities open in the summer season 2010 (usually from mid June - September) this large municipal pool with facilities is just a five minute walk from our house. The sea and miles of sandy beaches iare just fifteen minutes drive down the hill and our refreshing plunge pool is close at hand in the garden. For enthusiastic walkers ... The hills around the village are covered in traffic free goat trails and bridle paths, stunning views of mountains and sea, your choice of route does not have to be hilly.
Home and Village entertainment:
We have in our house Satellite LCD television - 108 English Speaking Channels available. CD/DVD player and stock of discs. Within 50 yards, in the main square, there is a fine and friendly bar (Reyes) and restaurant where you will be well and economically fed and watered. On the edge, at the entrance to the village there is a splendid hotel (Vista del Mar) under new management that will provide good quality food and wine in smart surroundings. This is in a beautiful location overlooking the Mediterranean - it commands similar views to those we enjoy from our sun terrace. They have great barbecue evenings in the summer months and live entertainment mostly at weekends.
Skiing:
The season at Sierra Nevada for winter sports enthusiasts opens in November and closes at the beginning of May. We have been skiing in less than two hours from Moclinejo. The Sierra Nevada ski resorts are currently one hour and forty minutes driving time from Moclinejo. A coastal motorway is being extended month by month and thus reducing the driving time as new completed sections are opened.
