FINCA de LARA-Bell
Golf Horse Riding Fishing Tennis
We have four sets of golf clubs at the villa available to guests
( no hire charges just replace lost balls please)
There are several golf courses within easy reach of the villa all with differing degrees of difficulty, being a keen golfer, but not very good I have tried most and will happily advise.

As befits the world famous
Andalusian equestrian culture, horses are a way of life on the Costa del Sol.
Still used as the vehicle of choice by many and heavily featured in the local
traditions, the Costa del Sol is the horseman or woman’s dream.
A large amount of stables and farms provide horses for hire, specialised treks
or riding lessons and there are countless stunning riding itineraries available
to the experienced or novice rider.
The festive calendar also provides many opportunities to enjoy the equestrian
traditions of the area, including rallies, specialised fairs and displays.
Prices are very reasonable and we recommend that you contact one of the coasts
most accomplished horsewomen, Sally Harrison at her riding school Hipica
International, Camino de la Sierra 75, Churriana
The long sunny days on the Costa del Sol and the numerous quality clubs available lend themselves perfectly to the keen tennis player.
There are many tournaments
throughout the year and excellent tuition is widely available. Although many of
the registered clubs are members only, it is almost always possible to pay a
court rental fee and enjoy the private facilities, which also include
international restaurants, bars and entertainment.
Local municipal sports clubs also offer inexpensive court rates.
Lew Hoads Tennis Club
on the Ctra. De Mijas offers an extensive range of tuition and facilities within
their landscaped gardens. Opening times are 09.30 - 24.00 and they can be
contacted on 952 474 858
