Traditional Spanish Village:
Arenas is a short drive away and is a traditional Pueblo Blanco or white village. Those who like to see the real Spain will fall in love with the tiny winding streets, the quaint village houses and of course the locals who always have a friendly greeting. Tourism hasn’t hit this village yet, and this is reflected in the prices, which are incredibly reasonable. A superb three course lunch can be had in Bar Juani for under 10 Euros, including a drink!
Arenas is famous in Europe for having the largest population of chamaleons, whose colour changing skills are magical to watch. The area is also famed for romantic historic tales of the clashes between the Christians and the Moors. The ruins of one Moorish castle can be seen from the villa.
Larger Amenities:
All modern amenities can be found 4-5km from Villa Camaleon in the town of Velez-Malaga and its coastal neighbour Torre Del Mar. There is a large covered shopping centre with hypermarket between these two towns adjacent to the motorway, just a 15 minute drive from the Villa. Also in Velez-Malaga and Torre Del Mar there are a wide selection of supermarkets. Bars and restaurants are dotted on every corner, with all types and tastes being catered for at very reasonable prices. The typically Spanish fish restaurants are well worth a visit for their freshly caught shellfish and tapas, delicious!
Car Hire:
Group B or above car hire recommended.
Other Activities:
Private yoga lessons are available at the villa. A Water Park, Indoor Shopping Centre, Bowling and 10 screen Multicinema are within 15 mins drive.
