Nieuw bij de Andalusia Travelcard een boutique hotel, charme B&B aan de voet van de Sierra Nevada in de Lecrin Vallei, provincie Granada. Gerund sinds kort door Nederlanders heeft dit bed and breakfast, Casa de Lino, voor iedereen wat te bieden, genoeg te wandelen in de directe omgeving maar ook de strandliefhebber zit hier op de juiste plek want in 25 minuten zit je op het strand. De stad Granada met zijn Alhambra ligt op een klein half uurtje rijden. Het hotel gelegen in het centrum van Nigüelas heeft 10 sfeervolle kamers, waarvan 1 kamer is aangepast voor gehandicapten. Verder is er in het hotel een overdekte binnenpatio, een buitenpatio, een groot dakterras met zonnebedden, gratis wifi, een honesty bar. En per 1 oktober gaat ook het bistro restaurant van het hotel open. Een leuk detail is nog dat de centrale verwarming op biobrandstof van olijfpitten wordt gestookt. Hier slaap je echt op hoogte want het witte dorpje Nigüelas is gelegen op 930 meter.

CÁMARA OSCURA – JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA AND CÁDIZ
Visiting Jerez de la Frontera or Cádiz don´t miss the camera obscura. When we visited last year Jerez, it was one of our highlights. In a private room gathered round what looks like a large satellite dish you will be surprised what you see after turning off the lights, real time 360 degree view of Jerez and surrounding countryside through an optical system, you see people walking, cars driving. So be careful what you do in the city, you me be caught on the camera obscura. In Jerez de la Frontera it´s located in the tower of the Palace of the Villavicencio which is part of the Alcazar and in Cádiz it´s situated in the Torre Tavira.

La Cañada in Marbella is the largest shopping centre on the Costa del Sol and our favourite place for shopping.

Fashionistas flock for the clothes with shops like Zara, Mango, Bershka, Pepe, Diesel, Desigual, Hugo Boss, H&M, Benetton, Tommy Hilfinger.

LOVELY PEDREGALEJO (MALÀGA)
This former fishing village now is a part of the city of Malaga but still with the caracter of a village. You will find Pedregalejo east of the city, along the coast. From the city centre of Malága it will take a 40 minutes walk. You won´t find many tourists here and the only foreigners visiting this area are language students because almost all language schools are located in this area. It has a lovely traffic-free promenade filled with eating and drinking spots and a pleasant laid-back atmosphere where you can spend long evenings or nights on the many terraces with stunning views overlooking the bay of Malaga. In Pedregalejo you have some of the best fish restaurants on the Costa del Sol. And don´t forget to eat the traditional ´espeto´ sardines cooked outside on a skewer at the beach.

EL TORCAL (ANTEQUERA) – IMPRESIONANTE
A beautiful ride takes you to a stunning landscape of eroded rock formations that make you feel like you’re on the moon – El Torcal. To reach the park it is possible to drive up to 1.100 m. above sea level along a good access road into the park. At the parking at the end of the road you will find an information centre and a small museum. Three routes (1.5 km., 2.5 km. and one of 4.5 km.) have been marked outfor walkers. The longest and most difficult route takes about three hours with a viewing point at 1.339 m. up where you can see the Africa coastline. But also for those who don´t like walking, worthwhile visiting.
