Lifestyle
Eating and drinking whiles away many pleasant hours with
beautifully baked local bread, wonderful fresh fruit and
vegetables, freshly caught fish, prawns, mussels and crayfish,
lamb or kid nurtured on the aromatic herbs in the mountain. For
most of the year meals are enjoyed on the terrace, patio or under
the bougainvillea or grapevine covered pergolas. Vintage and
excellent everyday wines, sherries and brandies can be enjoyed at
amazingly low cost. A host of small restaurants serve from the
traditional Paella and Sangria to superb French cooking and there
are numerous local bars for drinks and Tapas all at a fraction of
the UK prices.
The
Cost of Living
– the cost of living is about a third less than in the UK. Food
and drink is much cheaper in the Spanish shops – and eating out is
definitely cheaper, and in most cases – better!
Activities
Along the local coastline
visitors can
choose from a large variety of beaches and small coves, ranging
from fine sand to shingle.
Watersports are very popular and there are numerous businesses
offering different types of courses and equipment hire.
Divers will find some of the best
underwater scenery here of anywhere along the southern coast.
This
concentration of quality golf courses, combined with the unique
sunny and warm winter climate enjoyed by the region, led to its
becoming unrivalled as a winter golf destination
for northern Europeans, who while emerging as a serious force at
all levels of golf, were deprived of the opportunity to play
during the harsh winter months.
