Play on one of over 40 championship-designed golf courses that this area alone has to offer. A day (or an evening) out at the races should not be missed. The Go-Kart track in Mijas Golf is another fun day for children and adults alike. |

If you prefer activities on water, you will be spoilt by the beautiful beaches along this coastline. All forms of
water sports activities are available from, banana rides, donut rides, pedaloes, water skiing and jet skis.
At the weekend the infamous Chicken Shack beach bar near La Cala is a brilliant way to spend the day. Live music, excellent ribs, burgers, cheap beer, and all the water sports you can handle, all in one place. Sundays is especially good and the atmosphere is both friendly and exciting. There are several scuba diving clubs in the area if you prefer to be under the sea as opposed to on top of it. |

If you holiday in the area during the winter months there’s always skiing in the Sierra Nevada mountains near Granada. Just 90 minutes from Malaga (and a beautiful drive through National Park) and you can be whizzing down a mountain run in brilliant sunshine. Even if you don’t ski, its well worth a day out just sitting outside a bar watching everyone else enjoy themselves. The scenery is unbelievable. The hotel accommodation is excellent value but you need to book well in advance if you wish to stay the night. |
| During the summer months the whole area of Andalucia celebrate their “Ferias”. These are religious festivals and are taken very seriously by the Spanish people. To watch the processions, which date back to the fifteenth century , is a magnificent sight and one you will never forget. |  |
 |
During August Malaga hosts their Holy Week and parade through the streets, images worshiped by their churches. Organised by the local religious brotherhoods the processions are quite spectacular. Each religious image mounted on floats, tells the story of Christ’s passion and death - some of these floats have to be carried by as many as 250 men, which will give you an indication as to just how huge they are. After the religious festivals are over the parties start and the Spanish certainly know how to party. They usually last a week and either start or finish with the best firework display you could wish to see. |
| From April to October throughout Andalucia you will find festivals in all villages. Not a week goes by when there isn’t one in one village or another. All in all the Costa del Sol is one of the best places to enjoy your holiday |  |
