From this large sitting/dining room which leads out to the large terrace overlooking the pool and beautifully landscaped gardens. This is a really nice chill out area where you can sit and relax or dine al fresco.

El Chaparral is a well-established urbanization which consists mostly of private villas. It also has an 18 hole golf course with a colonial style clubhouse which is open to the public and has a very nice restaurant.

You can walk into the small village of La Cala de Mijas, which takes about 15 mins and here you will find many restaurants of all types of international cuisine. Or if you would like something very Spanish and local then try one of the many chiringuitos which are the Spanish restaurants located along the beach and specialize in fried fish where the sardines and sea bass are smoked with olive wood in little old boats filled with sand.

El Chaparral is also in a very good location if you want to travel up and down the coast as you have easy access to the highway, only 30 minutes from Malaga Airport, 10 mins to the centre of Fuengirola, 20 mins to the centre of Marbella and 30 mins to Puerto Banus.

Another lovely idea would be to come and stay at the villa and use it as a nice base for relaxation and then go off on a few day trips to see some of the wonderful places Andalucia has to offer. A drive up to Granada to visit the Alhambra, or to Cordoba to visit the Mesquita, Sevilla with its famous Cathedral and many interesting places, Ronda with El Tajo Gorge, Jerez where they make the finest Sherry in the world, Gibraltar, or you can even cross over on a high-speed ferry to Morocco for the day. Not to mention of course, Malaga city, the birthplace of Picasso, it is a fascinating city to wander around, visit Picasso's museum, Thyssen museum, the Alcazaba, walk to the narrow little pedestrian streets, or walk along the newly renovated port. As you are in Mijas then a trip up to Mijas Village is a must, this is a very old typical white village which you find all over Andalucia, but from the village you can see panoramic views over the coast. So as you can see there are endless places to visit.

For those who like shopping, then no end to the number of shops you can find on the coast. You can go to the centre of Marbella or Fuengirola, shopping centres such as Myramar in Fuengirola or La Cañada in Marbella, Puerto Banus where you will find all the designer shops along by the port, Malaga City also a great place to shop, Plaza Mayor a large shopping centre near the airport which is designed like a little town.
