Accessibility
The complex has been adapted for wheelchair access. However the ramps are quite steep, my wife uses a mobility scooter and surrounding area is very good for wheelchair access. It is possible to access the apartment with a wheelchair provided you can manage the steep slope.
Outside
The gardens are shared by the four buildings of the Gamanol. Aguila, Iris, Hercules and Agata. These gardens are probably the largest private gardens on the Costa Del Sol. For when they were built, land was not at a premium unlike some of the new developments today. Access to these gardens are via a security gate in order to keep these gardens private.
There a four swimming pools and two children paddling pools.
Sunbeds and Parasols are available for hire at the pool.
There a number of large trees in the gardens giving natural sunshade. These gardens and pool are well maintained.
Food and drink can be purchased at the snack bar in the garden.
Coast/Beach
The closest beach is approximately a 15 minute walk from the apartment, although the whole of the beaches from Torremolinos to Gibraltar are excellent.
My favorite beach is Cabo Pino which has a small marina and beautiful sandy beach, this is where the beach scenes were shot for the series Eldorado.
The Benalmadena Marina is one of the finest in Europe.You can easily walk it in 30 minutes or take a taxi form the Rank outside the apartment.There are many water sports available
Golf
There are 50 courses on the Costa del Sol,So many it would be very difficult to itemise the distance and qualities of each of the courses, I have played approximately 10 of these courses and found them excellent. You will need your handicap card with you. Also they do not accept steel spikes these will have to be replaced with plastic. The closest course is about a 10 min drive away and the furthest is about 50 miles away (Valderama) second mortgage £200+/round.
Guadahorce is probably my favorite as it has both an 18 hole course and a 9 hole par 3 course. Approx 20 Euro for the par 3.
Skiing
The Sierra Nevada ski resort has numerous runs of varying difficulties to satisfy all levels of skiers. Natural snow is supplemented by snow cannons on some runs, and many skiers are pleasantly surprised to find that, because of its southerly position, the air temperature is usually warmer than other resorts.
Depending on the snow levels, the season generally runs from the end of November or the beginning of December until sometime in April.
Travel
The nearest airport is Malaga, The easiest way to get from the airport is by taxi.The cost of the taxi should be 25 euros.
The train is the cheapest way of travel,The station is aprox 500 metres from the airport within close proximity to the terminal building.The train runs every half hour between Malaga and Fuengirola.
Public transport is excellent, and if you like you can do without a car although car hire is relatively inexpensive.

Owner profile
About the owner
My name is Geoff Herbert, I have owned an apartment in Aguila complex, Costa Del Sol since November 1985.
Each year I have seen the area improve. The apartment for rental is my wives we purchased it from a friend and when they purchased another property we decided to buy it so that my family could use it as the same time as we were in residence. My daughter now lives in France and our spare time is normally visiting my family in France or in Spain so that we can be close to our Grandchildren. The apartment is only for families or couples, who will hopefully respect our second apartment.
Year purchased: 1980's
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
A friend had recommended the area, I visited approximately 10 properties in the area and was pleased with the area ,This apartment has been used by myself and my family.Now my daughter lives in France it is only a drive from her home whenever she wants to use it provided its available.
The weather has been fantastic and is definitely beneficial for anybody who suffers from Rheumatoid Athritous. Dr Khan consultant is always advocating to go out to Spain.I have always found that the cost of living in Spain to be considerably cheaper than the UK although this is changing because of the Euro However it is still much cheaper to live in Spain than either UK or France.I liked the area as you are right in the heart of things, fine restaurants ,Golf and many fine views of the countryside.
Unique benefits of the property
Improvement in heath due to the dry weather.
With the high security door I can leave the apartment and know that the property is very secure.
As I have been an owner for the past 24 years I know most people in the bloque and have become close friends to a number of the owners.
With the low cost of eating out we tend to eat in one night and go out for a meal another night, all the restaurants are in easy walking distance. There are a number of bars with different acts on nightly. Entry is free although the drink are slightly dearer to pay for the act.
