There was a time not so long ago when the thought of going away on holiday for Christmas was unimaginable. However, with the rise of low cost flights and good value accommodation spending Christmas in the sunshine or at a ski resort is pretty commonplace these days when planning your winter breaks. Lots of people want to escape the cold weather, the expense of buying in all the food for Christmas dinner, busy Christmas traffic, the hassle of deciding where the family will be celebrating this year… It is far less stressful (and in some cases actually cheaper) to just pack your bags and head off on holiday over the festive season.
Alhaurin El Grande is a picturesque town situated in the Sierra de Mijas Mountain range, yet only 29km form Malaga and 18km from Marbella. It is also just a 20 minute drive from the beaches in Fuengirola thanks to a new road that was built to connect the towns in 2010. Alhaurin El Grade is a great place to stay if you want peace and relaxation in beautiful, mountainous surroundings whilst only being a short drive from busy resorts like Marbella and Fuengirola.
