Spain & Costa Del sol:
Spain's `sunshine coast’ is one of Europe's favourite holiday destinations. With an average of 320 days of blue sky annually, it is perfect as a summer holiday or as a winter destination for golfers, walkers and those wishing to pursue out -door activities. Families are particularly well catered for, with myriad attractions, restaurants and of course miles of beaches. Children are not just tolerated but welcomed by the friendly Spanish people.
Despite the march of development, the area still has the ambiance of Andalucía, the most `Spanish' of all regions and you do not have to venture far from your holiday home to encounter local ferias, fiestas and romerias - the scent of Jasmine is in the air, inexpensive wine is flowing freely- come and enjoy!

Estepona is a very pleasant town 16 miles west of Marbella, with along seafront promenade, perfect for those sunset strolls or winter walks. It has a wide sandy beach and a fishing port where you can watch local fishermen unloading their catch from their colourful boats.
The pretty main square has numerous cafes and restaurants amid remnants of old castle wall sand traditional whitewashed buildings with their balconies of scented flowers. There is a good mix of shops and the area is particularly popular with families and well heeled British retirees.
For those seeking nightlife, the exclusive bars and clubs of the world famous Puerto Banus are 10-15 minutes by car. Splash out in the designer shops or sip a cocktail while watching the millionaires on their yachts.
