Opened in 1976 it has long been regarded as one of the best courses in the area and is the perfect venue for their final round of golf. There are several memorable holes on the course designed by Pepe Gancedo with the eighteenth being one of the best finishing holes in the area. It’s a picturesque course with views of the mountains and the sea and is understandably one of the most popular courses on the Coast.

After golf they head to the town of Malaga and have a walking tour of the City. Malaga has benefited from major investment over the last few years and although it’s not on most people’s sightseeing radar it really should be. It’s one of the oldest cities in Europe and is steeped in history with a wealth of places of interest to visit. Certainly, the Picasso Museum is a must-see attraction.
Having worked up a hunger after a long day, they will head to El Pimpi restaurant for dinner. The El Pimpi is situated in the centre of Malaga and as well as serving excellent food it offers a wide range of both local and foreign wines.
