Costa Del Sol adventure
Posted by admin - 16/11/11 03:57PM -
If you come to visit in Andalucía, you will stay in our holiday apartments near Marbella and this will means one of two things: soaking up the sunshine on the Costa del Sol, or mainlining culture and history in Granada and Seville. As impressive as the Alhambra and Seville’s famous bull ring undoubtedly are, there is a third option. Whether it’s the adrenaline kick of the area’s excellent climbing or the more tranquil pleasures of its fishing, swimming and hiking, the Ardales region’s charms make it a natural holiday choice when you’re trawling through all of those villas in Spain.
First things first, time to ‘fess up. The ‘Lake District’ whitin an easy drive from our appartment and just 50km north of Málaga isn’t a lake district at all, it’s a breathtaking series of three enormous reservoirs given their shape by dams spanning the Guadalhorce River gorge. This vertigo inducing catwalk, known as El Camino del Rey, ‘the way of the king’ is the first of the definite attractions renting villas in the Málaga lakes opens up to the visitor. Opened in the 1920s by King Alfonso XIII, the way was originally part of the hydroelectric system. Now, it is somewhat dilapidated, and it’s safest to tackle its dizzying heights with a local guide.
