Puerto Cabopino Vacation RentalGround floor apartment with amazing views of marina and Mediterranean

Beaches.: The Costa Del Sol is know for its fabulous white sand beaches and the good temperature throughout the year makes for a desirable holiday at any time. The Cabopino beaches are superb, they are Blue Flag Beaches which means the beaches are cleaned and there is a life guard in attendance throughout the summer season. Either side of the marina the beaches have sun beds available for hire at a nominal rate. There are good beach chirringuitos for grilled sardines, light meals or a cool drink. Cabopino beaches are designated as areas of natural beauty and protected. If you want total tranquility, walk from Cabopino towards Marbella. The beaches and dunes are totally natural and unspoilt. A good long walk at low tide is from Cabopino to Marbella. In summer best early in the morning before the sun gets up, but a winter walk is delightful at any time. On clear days the coast of Africa and Gibraltar can be seen. Binoculars in the apartment.

Shopping: This is known as an area of 'haute couture' and stylish clothes are everywhere. Easy outlets to get to are 'La Canada', a large modern shopping complex. Marbella and Puerto Banus are truly fashionable places. The Corte Inglez at Puerto Banus has a good car park and makes it easy to get to the centre, they also have the best supermarket in the area called Hypercor. For really good and cheap food and clothing shopping, the markets are fantastic. A list of the markets open on every day is in the apartment. The markets are excellent for all fruit and vegetables and much cheaper than supermarkets. Most sellers have grown their produce and it is truly 'organic'. Be prepared for larger quantities than maybe normal although they will serve 'cuaranto' (quarter) and 'medio' (half) kilo. The fish markets are an experience you should enjoy. Sardines are lovely or experiment with Lubina or Dorado. Marbella and Fuengerola both have excellent markets. Food guide books in the apartment.

Eating Out: There are too many great eating places to attempt to name many but as a good first night, La Bruno a very quick walk from the apartment, has great Italian food but with a Spanish seafood emphasis. However, book - the telephone number is listed in the apartment. Restaurants catering for the Spanish are always good and normally cheap. The Spanish share meals & restaurants willingly supply additional plates. Spanish custom is to eat late and think nothing of going to a restaurant for a meal at mid-night. The Germans eat early, so by aiming at around 7 - 8pm, seats are available. The Marina has very many good eating places from cheap to expensive but all along the coast you can eat cheaply and well. In Marbella Old Town, the orange square is delightful. Plans in the apartment. The churros & chocolate are sumptuous. Open every day but great for 'people watching' on a Sunday morning. Sundays, late lunch is a busy time with large groups of Spanish families.

Golf: The apartment complex is adjacent to the superb Cabopino Golf Course and twenty others are within 20 miles. Descriptions available on request. The Cabopino Golf course has a well designed driving range just a short walk from the apartment and the restaurant at the clubhouse serves good food.

Guest Book: 13 of this holiday lets have rebooked for either later this summer or next year - this speaks for itself. Two comments regarding rebooking - 'yes please! We'd love to come again at the same time of the year. We'll be in touch as soon as we have some dates!!' Mr & Mrs Johnson - East Sussex. 'Time seems to be going so quickly and we cannot wait to go back to your lovely apartment' - Mr M Thomas, Cornwall. The apartment is still quite new but in the two years we have let it out when not needed by ourselves, it has been gratifying to have had so many rebookings. The now constitute 78% of our bookings and already we have bookings for next (2007) spring and summer.

Other Activities: Shopping at La Canada and Puerto Banus
