With its close proximity to Gibraltar where you can shop in sterling, Alcaidesa stands out from many coastal resorts as it is within easy reach of airports and many golf courses on the Costa del Golf, Andalucia, however it retains a quiet, laid back atmosphere compared with other coastal resorts and has wonderful views to Morocco (only 45 minutes from Tarifa by hydrofoil). The white village of San Roque is only 15 minutes away. Marbella and Puerto Banus about 40 minutes drive or if you prefer spectacular scenery take in the gorge at Ronda either by car or train from San Roque station. Alcaidesa itself has green areas and parks for walks or for children to play. There is a water park only 15 minutes away, or take a dolphin/whale watching trip on a boat. Jerez (1 hour away) and Sevilla (2 1/2 hours) still retain their typical Andalucian atmosphere. Of course you may just want to lie on the beautiful Blue Flag beach at Alcaidesa popular with locals and tourists alike.
