The Location
The surroundings of your next adventure 🗺️
Villa Bugambilla is located in the Cotobro area, known for its peaceful atmosphere and the green surroundings. The area has some lovely small beaches. At Playa de Cotobro you can enjoy sunbathing and swimming in a more relaxed setting than the busier beaches in the centre of Almuñécar.
The centre is not too far by bus, foot or car, which makes it easy to explore the city’s facilities and activities, while still enjoying the tranquility of a residential area. Cotobro is perfect for those looking for a relaxed lifestyle and proximity to the coast and the city. The house is located on a steep hill, so wandering back can be more difficult than walking down, however it is easy to park your car down the hill(300 m) and then walk to town, it is an enjoyable walk along the sea-side with fantastic views.

Activities
Some recommendations for your adventure 💃
For daytrip recommendations we refer to our Blogs, these are our own adventures discovering our new happy place in Andalucia. However below you will find some short information for daily activities:
Wining and dining: you will find many good restaurants in Almuñécar and its surrounding cities. A few of our own favorites are:
Almuñécar and La Herradura combined have about 17 kilometers of beach. Beds and umbrellas can be rented at the busier places for reasonable prices. The beaches can be made of either rocks or sand, so if you prefer one, be sure to check beforehand!
There is also a nudist beach not too far from the house at Playa el Muerto. Just go down to the beach, turn right and walk for about 300 meters along the seaside.
For the younger (at heart 😉) Waterpark Aquatropic on Paseo Reina Sofía is just 10-15 minutes by car or bus! Straight ahead along the sea side.
You can also explore the beaches of Nerja, Salobreña, Torrenueva and Playa Calahonda, which are worth a visit.
La Herradura is also part of the city of Almuñécar. It is known for its boulevard and beach, some great restaurants and a castle.
Nerja is 20 minutes away and a must-see. The famous Balcón de Europa and its view are incredibly beautiful. Do not forget to visit a tapas bar in and around Calle Almte Ferrándiz. You can also walk along the Rio Chillar or visit the refreshingly cool caves at Cueva de Nerja.
If you are prepared to travel a little bit farther you can visit the cities of Málaga and Granada. For an exciting hike you really need to visit the Caminito del Rey, it’s a 1.5 hr drive, completely worth it, just make sure you book your tickets ahead online.

About us
We are Cher and Petra. What started as a dream is slowly turning into a life in Spain, a place where sun, friendly people and new surroundings fill our days. Villa Bugambilla, our holiday villa in Andalusia, is part of that dream, created with care and the wish to share this special place with others.
The house is built in two separate parts. When we are in Spain, we stay in the upper part of the house, with a private entrance in a different street. This allows our guests to enjoy their stay with complete privacy and we also have our own privacy.
You won’t see us during your holiday, but when we are there , we are always nearby. If you need help, wish to have more information, have questions, or just would like to meet us, a simple knock on the door is enough.
We love discovering Andalusia, from hidden beaches and white villages to special places away from the crowds. Whenever we find a spot worth sharing, we write about it in our blog, so our guests can explore Andalusia beyond the usual routes and enjoy unforgettable day trips from Almuñécar.
Privacy is very important to us. Your holiday, your space, and the private use of the pool are always respected, so you can fully relax and enjoy your stay at our villa in Spain.
