La Cañada in Marbella is the largest shopping centre on the Costa del Sol and our favourite place for shopping. You will find in this American-style mall, with more than 150 shops, everything you could ask for, including food, clothes, electronics and furniture.  Fashionistas flock for the clothes with shops like Zara, Mango, Bershka, Pepe, Diesel, Desigual, Hugo Boss, H&M, Benetton, Tommy Hilfinger. And there is also a huge branch of French store FNAC for CDs, DVDs, computers, books. And if you like furniture and decoration take a look at Habitat and Zara Home. You can shop away all day from 10.00 until 22.00, the shops don´t close for siesta. And in the summer months the centre is also open on Sundays. This vast establishment cannot be missed and is situated on the Marbella ring road on the junction for Ojén and offers you free parking.

Filed under: POSTS IN ENLISH, tips Málaga English — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 9:27 am
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.

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.

Filed under: POSTS IN ENLISH, tips Málaga English — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 1:13 pm

You wouldn´t expect this hotel on the Costa del Sol.  I would say the best description is: A LITTLE PARADISE. Beautiful tropical garden, swimmingpool, only 12 double rooms, all with their own terrace and very friendly staff, that is what hotel Las Islas in Fuengirola you all offers. You reach the beach in a 20 minute walk. And it is a very good hotel to start or end your round trip through Andalusia. The airport of Malaga is only a 20 minutes drive away. And in the restaurant of the hotel, restaurant Fairuz, you also get 10% discount when you show your  Andalusia Travelcard
