Only 25 minutes from Malaga International Airport, Las Palmeras de Calahonda is a community built on the heights of Calahonda, on the Costa Del Sol, Spain and is a good option for those looking for Apartments in the Costa Del Sol. Its elevation provides superb views over rural landscape and down to the jewelled Mediterranean Sea. Las Palmeras sits regally at the top of Calle Don Jose de Orbaneja.
The community is based around low rise apartment blocks each having its own identity and community spirit. The apartments range from 2 bed roomed 2 bath roomed apartments with kitchen / living rooms to 2 bed roomed 2 bath roomed apartments with separate kitchens and living rooms, to penthouses complete with Jacuzzi!
One of the benefits of Las Palmeras above other Apartments in the Costa Del Sol is the fact that it is a gated community, access by a key fob for authorised users. Additional security is added by the provision of underground parking for the majority of apartments.
Las Palmeras also benefits from the number of swimming pools on site. Bloque 3 has 2 pools within 20 metres of the apartments. The great thing about the pool is that due to Spanish Health and Safety Law the number of users is restricted, for example 25 persons. This ensures that there is plenty of swimming and sunbathing space around the pool. Safety of the little ones is assisted by the pools being enclosed with fencing and gates.
A land train makes the journey from just below Las Palmeras into the town of Calahonda. This is great if you do not wish to drive, or want to make your teenagers self reliant!
If you are a golfer, staying at Las Palmeras is ideal as it has a golf club 2 minutes away, Club La Siesta Golf. This short 9 hole par 3 course opened in 1990. Although par 3 it seems longer and harder to play, the course is undulated with plenty of vegetation and some great views. For a longer game play at the spectacular Cabopino Golf Course. Well designed lakes will test your accuracy from the tee and add to the already wonderful views, specifically towards the ocean. There are numerous other courses in the area.
One of my favourite haunts in the area is Puerto Cabopino just 5 minutes away along the coast road towards Gibraltar. The Puerto is small and has excellent restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets. Next to the Puerto is a lovely beach complete with sun beds and umbrellas. Walk a little further along the beach towards Gibraltar to reach the Salt Tower and a more natural spot.
A must is a visit to the whitewashed Mijas Pueblo 428 metres above sea level. Renowned for its cobbled streets, donkey tours and local art ware. That said it has managed to hang on to its Andalucian way of life.
For a weekend trip visit Tivoli World Show and Amusement Park at near by Benalmadena, just off of the A7, junction 222, or alternately, try visiting the Sealife Centre in Puerto Marina Benalmadena where you can see 5000 different creatures.
There is so much to do and see in the area that a week at Las Palmeras de Calahonda might just not be enough!
