Fuengirola
This is the nearest town to El Limonar. Busy, bustling, and
alive. The nightlife goes on to the very late hours, the
choice of places to eat is almost overwhelming, the beach
is huge (and very busy), and the shopping is pretty good.
The Tuesday market at the Feria ground is one of the
biggest in the area and sells just about everything that
you could wish for!
Malaga
Rated as the third largest city in Spain, it certainly
appears to be one of the busiest. The recently opened
Picasso museum saw almost 10 million visitors in it’s first
year!
Marbella
Shoppers heaven. If you want it you can find it! Designer
clothes, exclusive jewellery, pottery and ceramics, a
definite must for anyone after some serious retail
therapy.
Mijas
One of Spain’s ‘Pueblo Blanco’s’. A charming but busy
village only 10 minutes drive away. Full of quaint houses,
gift shops, and many restaurants and bars. Home to one of
the only square bullrings in Spain. Park your car and take
a village tour in one of the many donkey carts, a great way
to soak up the local atmosphere.
Puerto Banus
This is the place to see the really rich and famous, count
the Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, Porsche’s, etc. along the sea
front. Check out the boats in the marina, Dine in one of
the many restaurants alongside the marina (surprisingly
inexpensive), and see how many celeb’s you can spot.
The famous ‘El Corte Inglés’ shopping centre is a great
place to while away a few hours, but as everything is so
desirable it could prove heavy on the wallet !
