Food Scene

Alicia the owner is fabulous. This is a hidden gem that's just 10 minutes from the Villa. The squid ink paella is divine as are the sardines a la plancha -- and save room for the caramel ice cream dessert! Ra-Ma is on a stunning beach and is packed with Marbella locals -- not too many tourists know about it.

The best street market on the Costa every Tuesday and Saturday mornings. From Moroccan lamps to fresh figs, and everything in between. Get there early for the best produce.

Great pizza, fab atmosphere. Very family friendly. The owners are super welcoming and it is good old Italian food when you've gorged on Spanish tapas and want some pasta.

On one of the most beautiful beaches on the Costa, this is an upmarket beach restaurant. Go late to eat like the Spanish, or early to catch the magnificent sunset over Gibraltar and Morocco. One of our favourite places. In spite of the white tablecloths, it welcomes kids of all ages. Madrilenos on holiday come here with the whole family including grandparents and babies!

Super trendy with huge daybeds and champagne. Pay for a babysitter and go without the kids -- they're not allowed! Great for an anniversary treat or any special occasion.

Essentials

This is our favourite super market. It has everything from the freshest fruit and veggies to counters laden with fish from the Mediterranean. For your barbecues, there's a whole meat counter. The bakery provides excellent freshly baked bread.

Sightseeing

Famous town on the edge of a gorge with magnificent views. About an hour's drive up the steep mountain to get there. We usually advise going there for lunch, visit the main areas, shop, stop for ice creams and pastries, have tapas and drinks and head back not too late. The road in darkness is not fun.

One of the famous Spanish white villages close to the Villa. Kids will love visiting the area on donkeys. Great food, little streets filled with shops and bars. Very enjoyable. In summer it gets very hot and siesta is from 3pm to 6pm.

Parks & Nature

The most famous beach known for kite surfing. Worth driving there with the kids -- a long drive but very enjoyable. A simply fantastic day out. From the beaches in Tarifa you can see the entire African coastline and you drive past Gibraltar -- very awe-inspiring to see the African continent in front of you!
