From the dazzling yachts in
Marbella marina to the ancient splendor of Granada, Spain’s
Sunshine Coast really does have something for everyone. With
golden beaches, and one of the finest climates in Europe,
the Costa del Sol is the holiday playground of the rich and
famous. |
Yet only a few miles inland, Spain at its most
traditional can be found in the tiny, unspoilt villages in
the high Sierra Nevada and Sierra Bermeja mountain ranges.
Nestling in the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja, between Marbella
and Estepona, the WimPen resort of Club Bena Vista surely
enjoys the most beautiful location on the Costa del Sol. |
| The historic cities of Seville and Cordoba are within
an easy drive. Visit Jerez, producer of the world’s
finest sherries and enjoy a tour of a local vineyard
and a complimentary glass or two. Ronda, a classic Spanish
village, nestling amongst rugged hills, has quaint white
houses with traditional red tiled roofs set in winding
streets. |
 |
The place to be seen on the Costa del Sol, however is Marbella,
only half an hour away from the WimPen resort. Sip a cooling
drink in the pretty Plaza del los Naranjos, watch the famous
faces go by. Marbella is the resort of the jet set, but still
retains the charm of a typical Spanish village. Take a stroll
down to the marina at nearby Puerto Banus to see some of the
most expensive yachts in the world bobbing in the clear blue
sea. There’s a superb selection of fashionable café
bars, restaurants and nightclubs in both Marbella and Puerto
Banus. Gibraltar, the most southerly point of mainland Spain
is also within easy driving distance, and well worth the visit. |
