| LOCATION Situated above Nerja on the Costa del Sol, this luxury villa is set in a quiet location in the hills with stunning views over the Mediterranean. The town and beach are just a 10 minute drive away. The villa is surrounded by lush gardens with both sunny and shaded terraces complete with a good sized heated swimming pool. |

| Malaga
is the capital of the Costa del Sol. It is a bustling city
with excellent shops, thriving night life and boasts many beautiful
sights. The famous painter. Pablo Picasso, was born in the city
and his house and the museum which is dedicated to him, are amongst
many popular tourist attractions. Narrow streets are crammed with
tapas bars and wine shops which especially come alive at the week-end
with young people going out to enjoy the night life. |

| Nerja is now the biggest resort to the east if Malaga and was once a small fishing village. There are numerous attractions to suit all ages - the old centre of town retains its original charm and there are plenty of bars and restaurants. Nerja is probably most famous for its caves which were discovered in 1959 and, although visitors are welcome, some parts are still closed to the public in order to protect and preserve them. It is estimated that they were inhabited between 20,000 BC and 1,800 BC. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| INVENTORY This is a basic guide to the inventory supplied within the villa. A detailed list and instructions for the appliances will be left inside the villa ready for your arrival.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Barbecue: There is a barbecue outside but as you can appreciate, care must be taken at all times because everything in Spain is very dry and fires can be started easily. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Telephone: There is no telephone on the premises but mobiles do seem to have a good signal. For UK dial 044 and then the area code (but delete the 0 of the area code) and then the number. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Smoking: We do not encourage smoking inside the villa as a courtesy to fellow occupants. If you do smoke outside, please use the ashtrays provided for the same reason as taking care with the barbecue! |

| EATING
OUT At the villa you will find a list of our favourite Bars and Restaurants that we recommend you try. All of them are very good indeed, but as with most places in the world, you get what you pay for! i.e. the lower the price the more basic menu and probably smaller portions. The beach restaurants at Burrianna are also very good but do get very busy in the peak season. We especially recommend you visit Ayo's who cooks paella on an open fire. Ayo's claim to fame is that he discovered the caves at Nerja as a youngster and they are well worth a visit! On Sunday he also cooks roast pork (cerdo) with vegetables, a very popular and enjoyable dish. You can keep going back as many times as you like to have your plate refilled. |

| SHOPPING The Spanish have a very different lifestyle to us both in the summer and winter months. Don't expect too many shops to be open before 10 o'clock in the morning and expect them to shut at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Most will re-open from 5pm & 6pm and stay open until 9pmor 10pm. There are lots of interesting shops in town but for most of your every day supplies, we recommend you use the Supersol Supermarket which is situated near the roundabout at the bottom of the hill. Just keep going straight on at the roundabout and you then come to the entrance to the underground car parking which can get very busy during the morning and evening periods. However, this shop is usually open for the whole day. YOU WILL NEED A 1 EURO COIN FOR THE TROLLEY! |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TRANSPORT We are assuming you have a car as this is essential for travelling to the villa and exploring the surrounding area. However, if you are feeling energetic one evening you can walk up the hill to where you meet the main road and if you stand by the road side where a bus comes down from Frigliana you can flag him down - you will need to check the times in town as they do change! The bus will set you down in the town on the main road and you can make your way to the Balcon. Getting back is not quite so easy because you need to pick up a taxi from the taxi rank, but these are plentiful and cheap. You need to ask for Camino Viejo de Malaga, the number of the house is 49a. Sometimes the taxi drivers need to be helped with the precise position of the house but gesticulation usually does the trick! |

DIRECTIONS
FROM MALAGA AIRPORT TO EL PRADO You are now getting near to "El Prado" and if you follow this road for another 200-300 metres you will come to the house on the left which is quite clearly named and has 49a on the gate post. We would recommend that one person then gets out of the car with the keys and opens the gate to the driveway and we suggest that you back in because trying to reverse out can be a little tricky, particularly at night. The three keys that you have will open the two front gates and the front door and the rest of the keys are inside the property. ALARM There is a burglar alarm, the controls for which are in the kitchen next to the fridge. Please do use this when you leave the property. When you leave, the code is XXXXX and when you come back in to deactivate the alarm the code is XXXXX. In case of problems with the alarm wr have a contract with ROJIPER who can be contacted on 902100919.

| DEPARTURE
TO THE AIRPORT As a rule, the trip to the airport only takes some 45 minutes, but we usually leave at least 3 hours before the departure time of the flight to allow for traffic. When you get to Malaga, assuming you have rented a car through one of the major companies, you make your way towards the car rental return section and you need to park up and wait for one of the inspectors to come along. They will check the car over and give you a piece of paper which you take back to the relevant car office at the end of the parking area. However, some companies still just ask you to deposit the car in the main car park and take the keys back to the desk or, in some cases, even leave them in the boot. If they want you to do this, they should tell you when you collect the car. |

DATES
& RATES From the beginning of April until the end of October, the villa is let through a holiday company and therefore only last minute bookings are possible according to availability (7-14 days from departure date). But the warm Andalucian climate means that an autumn, winter or spring break brings a welcome respite from the English rain! By
letting the house privately, we are able to offer very reasonable
prices which include all services, cleaning, linen and use of
all our facilities and equipment. It is possible to rent the
main part of the property without the self-contained apartment
which keeps the cost down for a smaller party, but if you are
interested in visiting our home then please speak to either
Adrian or Charles so they can describe it in more detail. |
