Things To Do
Apart from golf, beautiful beaches and the many restaurants
offering international cuisine there are a number of other
activities on offer in the surrounding area.
Scubadiving – The nearest centre
is the
Happy
Divers Club at the Atalaya Park Hotel between Estepona
and Marbella
Horseriding – Lessons and hacks
can be arranged at the ‘
Escuela
de Arte Ecuestre’ in Estepona and also at the
Equestrian
Centre at the San Roque Club de Golf. Why not play
golf while the children ride! You can also ride on the
beach at Tarifa!
Polo - Though not many of us can afford
to play, watching is free! And there's nowhere better
to see a game than the famous Rio grounds, dubbed the
'Wimbledon of polo pitches’ in Sotogrande.
Waterskiing – ‘Cable Ski
Marbella’ in San Pedro is great for learning to
waterski or for those wanting to improve. The cable system
pulls skiers around a lake and can be set at different
speeds for children and beginners.
Dolphin and whale watching - The Bay
and Straits of Gibraltar have a large population of Dolphins
and Whales. There are boat trips from La Linea, Gibraltar
and Tarifa where you can see dolphins bow-riding alongside
the boats.
Windsurfing – Take a trip to
Tarifa
for the best windsurfing and kiting but Alcaidesa and
La Linea also offer many watersports.
North Africa – Take a day trip
to
Tangier
(Morocco) from Gibraltar, Algeciras or Tarifa, or stay
overnight. Hunt and haggle for bargains in the souk and
colourful bazaars.
Safari Park –
Selwo
Park in Estepona is home to more than 2,000 animals
from the five continents living freely in the animals’
natural habitat.
Amusement Park –
Tivoli
World is just near Benalmadena (about 40 minutes drive
east). There are many thrilling rides to choose from as
well as a tiny tots section, restaurants, bars and a program
of concerts - ideal for children and adults!!
