A relaxing haven with the most fantastic views
This villa really was a home from home with beautiful furnishings throughout and a fantastic patio with lots of plants and comfortable seating. In fact being so cosy it was hard to find the motivation to go out anywhere but there is plenty to do in the area and La Herradura is not over commercialised.
We visited Granada ( 1 hour by car) which is lovely and the road up in to the Sierra Nevada is a stunning drive with lots of very impressive bridges. Malaga is a beautiful city outside of the airport and we loved it.We walked the Los Cahorros Gorge...simply stunning and very exciting and kayaked round the coast with a guided group ( from Maro beach not Nerja which is much less touristy). We also enjoyed the shared pool every evening ...when we had it to ourselves!
The host Emilio will give you lots of helpful advice about the area and good places to eat ...we especially liked the "Dorada plato " restaurant at the end of the beach in Almunecar where they BBQ fish outside in an old boat...the best fish ever and a lovely clean restaurant.
Overall a really relaxing and inexpensive holiday...thoroughly recommended.
