More about Calahonda:
The area is surrounded by a huge number of up market residential areas, golf courses and amusements such as water parks. Just a couple of kilometres along the road is Puerto Cabopino, which has the reputation for being the most secluded and picturesque port on the Costa and is a popular venue for tourists who want to enjoy a good meal before taking a walk along its sandy beaches. Some of the Coasts most popular restaurants, such as Alberts and Giuseppes Pizzeria, are located here.
The frontal section of Calahonda, which is visible from the main CN-340 road, has many restaurants and shops but the best of the shopping, eating and entertainment can be located in the El Zoco centre. Here you can find just about everything that Calahonda has to offer.
Calahonda's fiesta provides visitors with the opportunity to sample the pleasant Spanish tradition of churros, a fried and battered dough dipped into a cup of thick hot chocolate.
Being one of the smaller but most built-up areas on the Coast there are very few large nightclubs due to noise pollution laws, but the Trafalgar bar in the El Zoco complex is packed with visitors all evening until about 3a.m.
Across the motorway and adjacent to the El Zoco complex you will find more shops and restaurants, not to mention a gymnasium and other fitness venues.
Calahonda is virtually a self sufficient community which provides an excellent base for the British holidaymaker who wants a sun and sea holiday in surroundings which seem familiar, but those who prefer something a little more exotic would be well advised to consider another resort.
