There is a large Saturday Market at the Bullring in Nueva Andalucia, just up from Puerto Banus where you will find everything from Crafts to Antiques to Quality clothing - go early if you want a coffee as the cafes fill rapidly.
San Pedro has its own market on a Thursday held at the top of the town close to the Ronda rd where you can buy fresh fruits, vegetables and spices from all over Europe.

For the person interested in SCUBA diving I would recommend the Offical Dive Institute at Benalmedena tel 952562365 www.cursobuceoprofesional.com ( I use them myself)
Those who come to Spain and enjoy Shooting - try the Clay Club at Alhaurin - plenty of disciplines for a Clay Pidgeon enthusiast - I prefer clays to the live thing.

For those with children still in Education there is an excellent choice of International schools

There is a choice of Airports, Malaga, always worth a visit into this Historic City...especially at Xmas, when the Festive Light display in Calle Larios has to be seen and heard !!! It is about 45 mins drive or you can book the Express Bus from Marbella - takes the same time and is less than 10 €

The opposite direction will take you to Gibraltar Airport - about 50 mins to an hour - you have a Border to cross. worth a visit always to see the Rock itself and visit inside - fantastic when they organise Concerts for the accoustics. - Don´t forget to take your Passports !!! From Gib you can see 3 different countries and 2 Continents.

As I said this is an excellent location and allows the owner so many opportunities locally and just a little further afield to enjoy the Costa del Sol.
