Small stores, restaurants, pubs, cafés, internet cafés, churches, parks, markets (every Monday) and concerts are only a 20-25 minute walk away. There is one pleasant restaurant with a nice outlook that is about a 15-20 minute walk away, Fuenta de la Higuera Restaurant.

Beautiful El Chorro / Garganta del Chorro Just over twenty minutes north are three beautiful turquoise coloured lakes surrounded by pine forests. A tranquil retreat where you can swim, fish or picnic on the lake shore. This is El Chorrogorge. Called Malaga's "Lake District", it is in fact three artificial lakes created by a dam built across the dramatic two hundred meter high Guadalhorce river gorge, known as the Garganta del Chorro. Watch out for the eagles which continually circle around the sheer cliffs. Or if you fancy getting into the action in this area a little more, try Quad Biking, Horse Riding, Climbing, Hiking or Mountain Biking etc...
