Golf Information:
Our apartment has views over Miraflores golf, a challenging 18 hole course, designed by Falco Nardi, was opened in 1990. If you would like a trip to the driving range before your game the cost of 2 buckets of balls is about 5 Euros, again the driving range can be viewed from the apartment and is only a few minutes away in the car. The course measures 5240 metres, electric buggies can be hired and the clubhouse has a fine bar & restaurant. There is no need to stay local for your golf, as we are positioned in the heart of the, Costa Del Sol, with 40 quality golf courses within an hours drive.
Not Interested in golf:
Riviera Del Sol is perfectly placed for tourist, being only a few minutes from the N340 motorway & the A7 Toll Highway. With Marinas at Cabapino, Fuengirola & Benalmadina there are vibrant communities within easy reach. Why not book a boat trip or take a ride on the cable car at Benalmadina. The surrounding Andalucian hills offer some spectacular sights. Mijas Pueblo is 20 minutes away, a traditional white village of much character, with its cobbled streets, donkey taxi's, restaurants and traditional shops. Leather goods are prominent in the shops and bargains are there to be had. The panoramic views from the ancient village of the Costa del Sol are magnificent. We are only 10 minutes from the Aqua Park, Fuengirola, 20 minutes from the Sea life Centre, or Tivola World (theme park) at Benalmadina. Go west towards Gibraltar for the day; it is only 1.25 hours drive away and well worth the effort. The marina ports of Marbella and Puerto Banus are also well worth a visit.
Bars & Restaurants:
There is no shortage of restaurants to chose from, their are three in Miraflores, including an Italian and an Indian, these are in walking distance as are the restaurants in the village centre of Riviera Del Sol, although I prefer to get the car out. I believe that the beach restaurant under the underpass is pretty good. Just 2km away is Capapino, with its small marine and waterside restaurants, makes for a great evening out. The Thai- Chinese restaurant is great and offers excellent value.
