Self catering Apartment in Costa del Sol at Casares del Sol

Casares del Sol apartments

If you like the freedom of a self catering holiday and want reliable warm weather for a summer holiday, the Costa del Sol is an ideal choice. It has various types of locations depending on your preferences, whether a busy beach or a relaxing quieter area. There is plenty of self catering apartment Costa del Sol accommodation to suit everyone.
For those that like a busy area, head to the more built up areas of Costa del Sol near Benalmedina, Torremolinos and Fuengerola. The beach will be busy with lots of people and lots of nightlife in the clubs and bars. So don't expect a quiet holiday and noise may go on into the early hours.

But if you are looking for a quieter holiday away from the built up areas and the noisy crowds but still near to restaurants and bars and beaches that are quieter, you should look at the areas along the Costa del Sol to the west of Marbella to Gibraltar. This is what is called the new golden mile with stretches of golden sandy clean beaches. Casares del Sol is in this area and is ideally placed for a quieter, relaxing holiday in the sun. Set in specious tropical gardens to fromt and rear with a fabulous large swimming pool that is fenced for childrens safety. And just 800m from the beahc of Casares beach with 3 miles of clean sands.

Gym on Casares Beach near Casares del Sol apartment

Casares esplanade, gym and beach.

In Costa del Sol Spain, they are very keen on every community having access to a street gym. And now Casares beach has one installed on the esplanade in cool blue and green as seen in the photo, another thing to do near Casares del Sol apartment. This street gym is 6 seperate pieces of equipment designed to be used everyday when you take a walk from the Casares del Sol apartment. Just work through the 6 pieces of equipment daily for results. From a waist whittler to an very good arm press that involves you lifting your own body weight to a thigh worker and so on.
This gym is just one of many along the Costa del Sol, there being another less than 500m away on Sabinillas esplanade, in red and yellow. And another in Estapona again in red and yellow. And if you travel inland, most of the hillside villages have their own street gyms. And they are part of the Spanish strategy to fight obesity and lack of fitness in the population. And as a facility that is accessible to everyone, rich and poor, they are a great idea. But I've never really seen many people 'doing' their exercises on them.

Casares del Sol apartment and the different areas within the development

Casares del Sol apartment in Spain.

Casares del Sol is a newish development, approx 3 or 4 years old now so starting to settle into the Spainish landscape. The development is divided into 4 distinct areas, called PM's. And each PM is security fenced to enclose the apartments together, making a distinct community. So sometimes it is worth knowing which PM you are going to, and which PM you are booking your apartment in. As you drive into Casares del Sol from the Casares road, three of the PM's are on the right side of teh road, PM's 1, 2 and 3 and one is one the left side PM4. So if you are planning a holiday with another family or group, best to make sure you have apartments in the same PM to avoid problems with getting through gates into other PM's.

Casares Holiday apartment is in PM4 with distinct whtie stones portals set with tropical plants, a boule court and very soon a putting green. The rental apartments in PM4 are in a horseshoe shape around the fabulous swimming pools, one large pool and a small childrens pool. Both pools are fenced for safety with children. And around the pool area and behind the apartments are lovely spacious gardens, well tended and tidy. To rent one or more apartments, contact Casares del Sol apartments and make your request.

Tourist information office in Duquesa

Duquesa marina in Costa del Sol.

The tourist office in Duquesa (officially Purto de la Duquesa) is next to the Port in the Mikonos building. I have been to Duquesa many times and was there only last week but I've never noticed the office until I read about it in the resident newspaper. Its easy to find being immediately across from the entrance to the port and across the road from the main port car port. The tourist office is open long hours which have recently been extended to Monday to Friday from 8.30 am to 8.30 pm and Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm. So call in the pick up useful information and advice on the area, where to go, what to do, events, sports in the Manilva area. So call in and make use of the tourist office, its really needed. Use it or lose it as the saying goes.

This should be a useful resource for holiday makers in the Manilva area wjich includes Casares del Sol apartment. Because the tourist office in Sabinillas is closed and has been closed for several years. But do let me know if you know different!
