A Typical Week for Families

This information is regularly updated by the owners to give you an inside track on what to see and where to go around Villacana. It contains some things which happen on particular days, like markets or social golf, and others such as restuarants which can be any evening, though at peak periods you should book in advance, preferably before you catch the plane! You should check availability of all items with our agents, before you travel as some restaurants and other amenities are not open in off peak periods.
Don't worry if you can't do all of it. Some people, like us, don't do much on holiday at all. However this will enable you to pick and choose some of the things we have liked very much in the years we have been coming to Villacana.
DAY
SAT
MORNING
Market in Puerto Banus - go early to avoid the rush. Look at the antique stalls at the town end and the nicer stalls at the top.

LUNCH
Have lunch in the house
Picture
AFTERNOON
When you want to spend a day around the pool, put your lounger out before breakfast to get your spot!
Picture
EVENING
Fancy a special meal with your loved one. Try Bora Bora for good food, on the beach, under the stars, or Le Carnicero, over the road in Cancelada, have the set meal - excellent  or our favourite is again over the road at Casa Miguel - try the lamb shank - the best.

SUN
Market in Estepona Port and stop for a drink in many of the marina bars​
Picture
Have lunch at the  bar and restuarants around the pool in Villacana

Take the rackets and balls and stroll up to the tennis court to teach the kids how to play or simply bang a ball around, though you may have to book through the office at the top of the drive. Afterwards have a quick shower and jump in the pool or jacuzzi near to the courts. For more keen players go to the Bel Air club, 5 minutes away, by car
Picture
Picture
Drive up the mountain road to Benahavis, a small spanish village with cobbled streets and lots of charm. We always end up at a resturant in a small square, good food and service in the open air.

MON
Make sure that the first one up goes up to the shop and gets the croissants and bread for breakfast. make up some rolls with Spanish ham and cheese and relax by the pools
Picture
Have fun around the pool or at the beach

To and from Estepona, stop off at Laguna Beach and have a look around at the opulence of the place and the hideous drinks prices. If you want to people watch and have a day of luxury, you might like this.
Picture
Take a trip to Estepona port. If you have small children, let them play in the childrens playground with loads of other kids, supervised by staff, whilst you enjoy a drink in one of the bars around the port. Enjoy a variety of resturants and go to Le Cazedor, enormous portions so either share or just order a starter. Let the kids throw bread to the grey mullet in the harbour.
Picture
TUE
Fancy a break from the beach and pools, put the kids in the car and get down to Aquapark in Torremolinas, get there early and enjoy a day of thrilling water rides - it's not Disney but its very good just the same.
Picture
Fancy an Chinese, Thai, Indian or other, ask in the office, there are loads of resonably priced resturants within a few minutes drive, or take a walk along the beach .
Picture
Picture
Picture
Take your family to 'Funny Beach' a 30 minute drive towards the airport. Go karting is suitable for all ages, they have junior and 'proper karts' for adults. They also have a variety of other things to do. Look them up on the web www.funnybeach.com or call on 952 823 359
Picture
​Again, take a trip across the road to Cancellada, try out Le Carnicero, one of our favourites, or if you are on the beach or round the pool, take a stroll out on the beach and turn left to Pepe's, a five minute walk, literally on the beach serving the staples of kids and adult Spanish food at good prices

WED
If it's a dull day, then a good outing is to Selwo Adventure Park, you'll see many animals and birds in close to their normal habitat, and its close by.

Have an afternoon game of Bingo, or Risk, at the house.

If you have teenage children, go for the River Gorge adventure! This is  near Benahavis. Scrambling over rocks and swimming down the river. Going down waterfalls on a rope - not for the fainthearted - look it up on Trip Advisor

Puerto Banus

take a cab or drive in and park. Stroll down 'Millionaires Row' where all the large yachts are, people watch and make sure you keep an eye on your wife and your money as expensive fashion shops abound.

Go for the Gorge walk. Just before Benahavis on the right is a bridge over the ravine. Park 500m below it in the car park and walk over the bridge. Follow the path for 5km and walk back up the road to the car
Fancy another resturant with no driving? Go east along the beach for a ten minute walk to Pepe's, great for adults and children. Good value and friendly service.
