Local Information:
Things to do for non-riders or extra days
Horse Riding - Located just 20km from us is Cortijo Los Lobos where you can enjoy the stunning surroundings on four legs! Catering for beginners and children right up to established horsemen there is something for everyone. You can visit their website by clicking the link below:
www.cortijoloslobos.com
Walking - There are some lovely walks around the area. Comares is a Tourist attraction in it’s own right, Tourist coaches come to the village for people to take in the local sights, the views are spectacular!
Watersports /Fishing - There are 4 lakes within 30 mins drive that you can swim in or just relax next to and perhaps have a picnic. The lake at Iznajar has a sandy beach where you can hire pedaloes etc in the summer and is a popular spot for windsurfers and canoeists. There is fishing allowed if you hold a current UK fishing license.
Mountain Biking - For those who prefer pedals to power 2 wheels then there are facilities available for mountain biking and endurance training days/weeks from Rio Frio, who have a huge knowledge of the area. You can visit their website by clicking the link below:

Swimming Pool - There is a communal pool in the Village and is open from mid-May to September. Entrance is a paltry 2 euros or so for the whole day!! Doesn't get overly busy apart from Sundays when whole families turn up.
Climbing - There's great rock-climbing to be had in the next village at Villanueva del Rosario, which is 18km away. There aren't places to hire equipment unfortunately but plenty of climbs from easy to challenging if you can bring your own gear. Alternatively, the famous El Chorro Gorge on the other side of Antequera is about 1 hours drive away.
Tennis - There is a tennis court also at Rosario and they only charge 3 euros per hour - no equipment is available to rent from there as it's in the grounds of a (brilliant) restaurant, it is not far from Cortijo Los Lobos, the horse riding place.
Sight Seeing - The historic town of Antequera is about an hours drive away and has some beautiful architecture and apparently the most number of historical buildings per town of anywhere in Spain, so many of the buildings are very much as they were hundreds of years ago.
The National Park of El Torcal is nearby, as is El Chorro Gorge and worth a day trip. Also nearby is Lobo Park (www.lobopark.com) where you can see wolves by day or on special night trips when they do "Howling Tours"!! Highly recommended!
Further a field, Granada is a beautiful city with not only the famous Alhambra Palace but has a cafe culture feel to it which is very similar to Barcelona. From there it's a short drive to the Sierra Nevada mountain range - the highest point in mainland Spain is here and whether guests want to walk, cycle or ski this is the place to do it! Skiing is normally available from November through to April depending on snowfall and there are numerous ski runs and lifts plus loads of places to hire equipment, snowboards etc from the nearby ski village of Prado Llano which also has many bars and restaurants.
In the other direction, you have historical Ronda with it's deep gorge and magnificent bullring and further on again there is the Circuito de Jerez - the home of the Andalucian round of the MotoGP world championship and a must see if you're into bike racing. There is also F1 and bike testing at regular intervals during the year and it's normally only a few £'s to get admission and that includes a grandstand seat!!

For the ladies, nearby at Iznajar (where one of the aforementioned lakes are) there is a beauty treatment spa which does the full range of massages, facials, body wraps etc
