Golf

Spain's Costa del Sol is also known by many as the "Costa del Golf" with over forty courses on the coast between Malaga and Gibraltar.

Here are some of my favourites:-

Estepona Golf course:- The coast's only family owned and operated golf course, which was opened in 1989. Always provides a warm and friendly atmosphere. This is an 18 hole golf course, length 6,001m and par 72.It also boast the longest hole on the coast.
La Duquesa Golf:- One of the most popular venues for Mediterranean Golf tournaments. This course is a challenging Robert Trent Jones design, which runs 360 degrees around a hilltop with fantastic views of Mediterranean and Marbella. This is an 18 hole golf course, length 5,672m and par 72.
El Paradiso Golf:- A popular and well established course designed by Gary Player and constructed in 1973. A beautiful setting with lush fairways punctuated by meandering streams. This is an 18 hole golf course, length 6,116m and par 71.
Coto de la Serena golf course just opposite Las Dunas Hotel, 9 hole course all par threes, less expesive than most and with a little vanta watering hole half way around, this is worth a visit.

Shopping

Estepona has a varied range of shops, from typical tourist shops to designer stores and has two local market days one on a Wednesday which is the bigger of the two and the other on a Sunday, selling everything you can imagine from fresh fruit and vegetables to exotic spices from around the world. An excellent choice of wines are available and lots of other local produce along with all the traders selling clothes, carpets, rugs, local gifts and lots of arts and crafts make this an excellent day out for all the family. Estepona has its own fishing fleet and is still a very vibrant fishing port which has its own market and if you can get out of bed early enough, the best time is around 5am you can have your pick of a huge range of freshly caught fish.

The Puerto de Estepona also has a Sunday market which is always very popular and makes a great day out for all the family, after you have visited all the market stalls you can relax over a glass of wine or sangria overlooking the marina and its varied yachts and cruisers, some 400 of them.

The world famous Puerto Banus, which berths some of the most exclusive motor yachts in the world has to be on your list of places to visit, restaurants, bars, boutiques, arts and crafts shops, you name it its all here.
