You could quite easily spend your holiday at our apartment without ever needing to venture further. We have a lovely communal pool, which never gets crowded and our large terrace with superb sea views is the perfect place for dinner or for spending the usually balmy evenings chatting with a glass of wine in your hand. If you do want to check things out further afield, it's only a 5-minute drive to the beach or Benalmádena village, a lovely white Andalusian village with plenty of restaurants and bars. Oh, and we are about the same distance from the A7, which can take you to Granada, Ronda or Cordoba, if you feel really adventurous.

We are quite proud of our cosy apartment and have spent a lot of time turning into a practical but homely space. We think that right now nothing is missing to ensure a comfortable stay - although suggestions are always welcome, of course. We both like traveling a lot and have tried to learn as much as possible from our stays in hotels and apartments around the world; we also think that it's important to feel welcome and always make sure you have everything available to get through the first day - your first breakfast is on us! We also love languages, and although we speak Spanish, English, Dutch and German, we are always willing to try our hand at whatever language you speak.

Ours is quiet urbanization, away from the hustle and bustle of the beach and tourist resorts, but there is certainly no lack of entertainment for those who want it. We have several interesting towns within a few miles, such as Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Torremolinos, and of course, a little farther out, Malaga - one of Spain's most vibrant cities right now. Catch a train from Carvajal station and enjoy the many museums and other attractions of this beautiful town. Around our area, there are too many places to mention, but a few of them are: The Butterfly Park - one of our favourites, and Tivoli amusement park for the children, both in Benalmadena. Sohail Castle and surroundings in Fuengirola. Get an eye-full of the life of the rich and famous in Marbella, visiting Puerto Banus, or take a drive out to one of the world's wonders in Granada, the Alhambra - just an hour away.
