| Hipodromo horse racing. The venue for the spanish Derby is only a few miles from the apartment, just the other side of La Cala. There is racing from there either every week or every fortnight depending on the time of the year and it is either Saturday nights in the summer or Sunday afternoon. It is quite a good day/evening out and only a few euros entry. It's tote betting though - on course betting isn't allowed in Spain. There are lots of bars and restaurants and on fiesta days there is other entertainment such as flamenco dancing etc. | ||

| The Andalusian horse show at Cartijana - turn left just before Hoya 19 and it is 800 metres on the left (keep a sharp lookout!). Shows are on Thursdays (please check though). Costs about €20. | ||
| Refugio de Juanar. If you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the coast or enjoy a scenic walk in the hills overlooking Marbella then this is worth a visit. Take the Ojen exit from the N340 just before Marbella and head towards Ojen. You will pass the turn off to the refuge and a long winding but scenic drive brings you there. The restaurant is not cheap, so you may want to take a picnic. There are walks from the refuge or you can drive to the end of the road and then walk to the balcony overlooking Marbella or do one of the other walks. | ||
| Further down the coast, Casares is a very pretty, small 'white town'. Take the toll road from Marbella to Estepona and head inland following the signs for Casares. Definitely worth a visit, with great scenery and views of Gibraltar. You should also see some eagles and maybe even vultures. | ||
| Inland there is a beautiful region called the Ardales Natural Park. Go past Alhaurin El Grande heading for Cartama and pick up the A357 towards Ardales. It is 65 Km. from here to the meeting point of the lakes (where there is a very good cafe/restaurant!). The three dammed lakes there supply most of the water for this region and the area is quite beautiful (and relatively quiet). The El Chorro gorge is also in this area. There is a guide to the region in the book-case. | ||
| Another inland reserve worth visiting is the El Torcal Natural Park. This is not far from the Ardales Park and you can combine visits to the two. However, you can also reach El Torcal via the A340 and N331 (towards Antequera). Take the Villa la Nueva de la Conception exit and head North. The rock formations at El Torcal are nothing short of spectacular and the short walk (1.5 Km.) well worth doing. | ||
| Gibraltar. If you do venture to Gibraltar then we suggest you park on the mainland (there is an underground car park just before the border). You can catch a bus from the border into the town centre. Don't forget to take your passports. | ||
