Costa del Sol also known as Costa del Golf. Some fabulous, award-winning golf courses a few minutes drive from the apartment. An average of 300 sunny days a year makes this still the most popular destination with tourists from all parts of Europe.
The Sierra Nevada mountain range is only 2 hours away. Ski in the morning, sunbathe in the afternoon!
Although the area is geared up for the tourist trade, there is still plenty of 'the real Spain' to be discovered within easy travelling distance of the apartments.

Car hire is not necessary for your stay at Jardines de Carvajal as there is a bus stop on the main road, just down the hill from the apartment. Buses are very frequent, reliable and cheap and go to Benalmadena, Torremolinos and Fuengirola. Other bus connections take you to Mijas and Benalmadena Pueblo.
In either Benalmadena or Fuengirola, you will find a great choice of bars, restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets, nightclubs, dancing and entertainment venues, karaoke, quizzes, bingo and sports shown on large-screen TVs. Benalmadena has peaceful Paloma Park for relaxed walks and wildlife (and people) watching! Tivoli Gardens amusement park is also there, with rides, food, concerts and flamenco dancing. There is also a great market in the Tivoli car park every Friday, and a flea market in Tivoli on Sundays (Sept - May).
Benalmadena Pueblo, a typical Andalucian white-washed village is a short drive or bus journey away. Torremolinos and Fuengirola are only a few stops on the train. Carvajal train station is 10 minutes walk from the apartment with connections to Malaga town centre and the airport. The train fares are very cheap.
Malaga itself should not be overlooked when visiting the Costa del Sol. It is great for shopping (particularly El Corte Ingles) and has a wonderful food market, Botanical Gardens and Alcazaba.
Orgainsed coach trips to Seville, Granada (for the beautiful Moorish Alhambra), Gibraltar, Mijas, Ronda, etc, etc have local pick-ups.
There are fantastic waterparks in Fuengirola (Mijas Costa) and Torremolinos - a great day out for all the family.
