There is plenty to do in this area for all ages, from hectic days at the water parks, to a peaceful 18 holes of golf on one of the 50 courses in the area. The nearest course to Pino Golf, is Santa Maria, a top quality 18 hole course, with plans afoot to extend to 36 holes in the near future!

There is a wonderful water park, only 15 minutes drive, in the direction of Malaga with every conceivable slide and pool you could want.

The nearest beach, Elviria, is reached on foot in 6 minutes, and is said to be the best in the area. It is beautiful, with natural golden sand of the finest quality. A short walk along the beach will bring you to a range of water sports, from water skiing, parascending, jet biking and banana boating, to a canoeing.

There are a selection of beach front restaurants, from 'fine dining' establishments like The Beach House, to simple beach bars where a refreshing drink and a tuna salad can be bought for a few Euros.

If you want to shop, Marbella will cater for your every need. All the top international names are available both here and Puerto Banus. La Canada is a vast shopping Mall with everything from a supermarket to designer fashion outlets.

If you want to get away from all the 'glitz and glamour' then take a drive into the hills around Mijas, where you can walk, eat and drink in the old style of Spain, looking back on the coast from a distance.

In the winter months, you can even ski in the mountains of Sierra Nevada, only one and a half hours away by car!

The Costa del Sol has it all!
