La Cañada

Here the long 1st hole sets the tone for a tough round of golf – the 4th is a trek into the unknown with no view of the green until the third shot.
La Duquesa

A Trent Jones design. The front nine holes begin in a westerly direction then finish with a long par five.
Los Arqueros

This was the Costa’s first course to be designed by Spanish champ Seve Ballesteros. It offers a stiff test even for professionals.
Málaga

Málaga’s historic sights are on the north side of the Paseo del Parque.
Mammals

Wild creatures include wolves, lynxes, boar, genets, civets, mongoose, monk seal, dolphins, whales and the Barbary macaques of Gibraltar.
Marbella

The Costa del Sol’s smartest town naturally has several fine beaches to recommend. To the east there are Cabo Pino, a nudist beach, and Las Dunas, sand dunes beside a modern marina. To the west you’ll find a string of party beaches, good for barbecues and dancing, including Victor’s Beach and Don Carlos, perhaps Marbella’s best.
Marsh birds

Watery areas abound in cranes, flamingo, gull-billed terns, purple gallinules, stilts, glossy ibis and redshanks.
Matador

In the final tercio the matador makes passes with the muleta cape, bringing the fight to its climax.
Mazagón

Huelva Province’s Costa de la Luz has several appealingly remote beaches, and Mazagón is one of them. Located 23 km (14 miles) southeast of Huelva City, this low-key resort is surrounded by pines and has lovely dune beaches. Deserted in winter, it comes alive in summer, mostly with Spanish families, but there’s plenty of empty expanse to find solitude.
Miraflores

Designed by Folco Nardi, Miraflores has many challenging holes.
