With a vast choice of activities to locally to enjoy such as horseback riding, scuba diving, rock climbing, cycling, hiking, fishing to name just a few there is never a chance of being bored. But then why not just relax by the pool with a good book and a full glass?
From Malaga Airport follow the motorway towards Almeria, until you get to the slip road for Torre del Mar and Velez Malaga go around the roundabout beneath the motorway heading inland, pass Velez Malaga keeping on the A356 for around 9 km then cross the dam with the fabulous lake to the right and about 2 km further on the right hand side you will see the El Pantano Restaurant and the El Camping Restaurant.
Walking, horse riding, fishing (don't forget your licence) rock climbing, off-roading, cycling and hiking around the National Park is excellent and a visit to El Torcal is well worth a trip, the walks are easy around this fabulous natural feature. Drop into Antequera for lunch and to see the museums and art galleries (NOT MONDAYS), shops and bars. There are numerous watersports at Torre del Mar and Caleta and a Water Park available at Torre del Mar. Scuba diving both at Torre and Torrox Costa on the way to Nerja.
The Nerja Caves are pretty spectacular and if you get the chance to book a concert then don't hesitate. Nerja is an interesting town to visit stop off at one of the beach side restaurants along the coast road back in Torrox. Don’t forget the huge Sunday flea market in Nerja too as well as the regular markets to be found in every town locally.
An excellent day out is Granada, the Alhambra, General Life and Gardens needs booking but is worth it, especially the Palace of the Nazarrenes. However the dead heat of Granada mid day is to be avoided.
A different tour is to the quaint old town of Alhama de Granada with its’ stunning gorges, drive up through the Zafaria Pass opposite the Villa and enter a higher plateau of offering a different landscape. Have lunch in the Plaza at Alhama and after a stroll around and a visit to the main sites of interest, stop off at the Roman Spa then take the road towards Aluminacar. This route offers the most amazing descent down to the Coast. After passing though an innocuous pine forrest and country park you will suddenly be confronted by the most stunning view down towards the distant sea. Return via the motorway or if you have the energy along the scenic old Coast Road to Torre del Mar and then inland and home.

If you like clubbing just to along to the east end of the Torre del Mar sea front, there are numerous beach front restaurants and ice cream parlours too.
It's well worth a drive to the Lecrin Valley which has become a mecca for alternative health therapies and crafts.
Then there is the Rhonda the fantastic cliff top inland town famous for its ancient bridge and buildings, closer to home we have our own mini Rhonda just up the road visit Comares up in the clouds or closer to God.
