Further details
The Casares region of Andalucia, between Estepona and Manilva, is an excellent base for a holiday in this diverse region. Significant investment in new properties and the infrastructure in the area ensure that it is a relatively new holiday destination and unlike the older and more traditional holiday resorts it is not particularly built up.
The nearest garage with a small shop is just a few minutes away and sells all essentials. The nearest supermarket is less than 1km away, with several further choices within 10 minutes drive. There are several restaurants just a few minutes drive away, with further choice in the towns such as Sabanillas, Duquesa (marina) and Estepona (marina). Benahavis (30 minutes drive) is known for it's great nightlife and gastronomic delights!
The nearest towns are Sabinillas (approx. 3 minutes by car), Duquesa (approx. 5 minutes by car) and Estepona (approx. 10 minutes by car). All of these provide a variety of shops and boutiques as well as beaches, children's play areas, numerous restaurants and cafes. Both Duquesa and Estepona have beautiful marinas.
Within an hour's drive from the apartment are attractions aimed at families with younger children such as Monte Selwo Aventura safari park, Torremolinos zoo, Tivoli World Theme Park and various aquaria.
Gibraltar, approx. 40 minutes drive away, is well worth a visit. As well as duty free shopping a trip to the Upper Rock to see St Michael's Cave, the apes and the siege tunnels is well worth it. the views from the Upper Rock are amazing. (don't forget passports and UK money!)
There are many traditional Spanish white villages (pueblo blanco), including Casares village, (just 10 minutes by car from the apartment); and then further into the mountains are Gaucin and Ronda, with its infamous gorge, huge bullring and quaint cobbled streets in the old town.
We have lots of information for day trips and recommended restaurants, plus local books and guides in the apartment.

Guest comments
"We had a great week here, fabulous apartment with everything we need, couldn't have wished for a better place to stay - really comfortable here and close to everything." Family from Kent 2008
"We have had a fantastic first experience of Spain. We were taken aback by the beauty of the mountain scenery and white washed villages we have discovered; we would love to return to explore some more". Family from London, August 2008
"Had a great holiday, especially enjoyed the small pool, which we had to ourselves most of the time and the excellent weather. We made day trips to Gibraltar, Ronda and Casares - all well worth a visit. The drive to Ronda via Casares and Gaucin gives fantastic views of the scenery. Ronda was very interesting and the favourite of all our days out, particularly the bullring. This is our first holiday in mainland Spain and we have thoroughly enjoyed it." Family from Surrey July 2008
