The development Terrazas de la Bahia is on the hillside at Casares Costa (or Bahia de Casares), just off the main coastal road 6km west of Estepona. Further west, within a couple of minutes drive (or a lovely beach walk), is the town of Sabinillas and the pretty port at La Duquesa both with a huge variety of restaurants, cafes and bars. 14km inland is the much photographed white pueblo of Casares known as the Hanging Village. This part of the coast is much less developed but well connected by the coastal road and the motorway. Estepona, Casares and Sabinillas remain refreshingly traditional Spanish villages. It is a 45-60 minute drive from Malaga airport, 30 minutes from Gibraltar airport and 1 1/2 hours drive from Jerez airport.

Entertainment The beautiful, historic cities of Seville, Granada, Jerez and Ronda are within a couple of hours drive and are worth a trip. Closer are Marbella old town, and the traditional villages of Casares and Gaucin. There is Puerto Banus for designer shopping or Gibraltar for visits to the rock, dolphin spotting and duty free shopping (great for cosmetics and spirits). Tarifa is 40 mins drive away and is surrounded by stunning flat wide beaches perfect for surfing, kite-surfing and where you can also scuba-dive. Tarifa town has a laid back atmosphere with North African influences in its cuisine. From here you can make a good day trip by short ferry to Morocco.

There are 3 golf courses within 5 minutes, Finca Cortesin (Volvo world matchplay championship) the Robert Trent Jones course at Duquesa with panoramic views of the marina and Estepona Golf. Also nearby, within 20 minutes are Alcaidesa Links course, Valderrama and San Roque Golf Club.

Families The apartment is great for young children as this is a quiet small development where they are arranged on one level with large terraces front and back to make a huge secure space for them to play. There are full blinds on all the bedrooms which totally block the sun early morning or siesta time! The development has 2 baby pools. We have two young children ourselves so can make recommendations based on experience and provide information on many activities like art classes, go-karting, donkey rides, horse riding. There are waterparks at Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Algeciras (between a 30-45 min drive). The Selwo safari park is 15 mins drive the other side of Estepona (and is free for under 3s!). The zoo at Fuengirola makes a great days outing as does Tivoli World in Benalmadena with rides suitable for children who are just walking to teenagers.
