CADIZ: The historic port city from which explorers to the New World set out is along the coast, beyond Gibraltar.

Shopping:
For serious shoppers there is a wide variety of shops and fashion boutiques in Marbella and Puerto Banus. Shopping at the large El Corte Ingles department store in Puerto Banus gives access to a full range of items. Puerto Banus also hosts a large market area at weekends.
Golf:
The Apartment is located between the Guadalmina North and Guadalmina South golf courses, both part of Guadalmina Golf Club. These are long-established courses on the Costa del Sol. The name of the apartment complex, El Hoyo 15 (The 15th Hole), refers to the 344 metre par-4 15th hole of Guadalmina North, which runs alongside. The North course has gently undulating fairways and fast greens. The South course is more difficult and meanders toward the sea, tree lined fairways adding to its character. Golf at a large number of local golf courses may be arranged at Golf Services, under the San Pedro/Marbella arch on the main road, where Patrick will provide a range of golf course options at discounted rates. Accommodation for golf parties numbering up to twelve people may be arranged by linking with an adjacent identical apartment.
