Casas Andaluzas consists of about one hundred individually styled cottages each with private balconies, terraces and small gardens all set in woodland of mature umbrella pines and eucalyptus trees. The communal gardens and paths are maintained daily by gardeners. The cottages are located in a secluded corner of a larger golfing estate known as San Andres Golf and Club de Golf Campano.
The swimming pools are securely fenced and set in a spacious area of lawns, palm trees and pines. They are open from mid June until mid September. However, the magnificent uncrowded beaches are only 10 minutes by car with a choice of huge open sands or small secluded coves. There is a flavour of real Spain at Casas Andaluzas and in the area generally. Casas Andaluzas has a small licenced bar run by a charming Spanish couple who work hard to provide fresh snack meals, cold drinks, sweets, icecreams, etc. They act as a centre of information and it is here that you ask if you wish to play tennis after dark by floodlights. One of the courts has basket ball nets and five a side football goals. There is a bar and restaurant on the estate within walking distance. It is also possible to walk to the golf club and the eighth and ninth tees are only 200 metres from No. 88.
A hire car is essential for shopping and to see the area. At 2kms excellent shopping is available in the local village which also provides banking, petrol, restaurants, etc.
At 10 minutes by car is the town of Chiclana de la Frontera. This town has everything from an excellent fresh market to a huge hypermarket, from an indoor sports and swimming centre to an Atlantic water sport centre, from riding to championship golf, from MacDonalds to 5 star hotels and from ancient bodegas to modern bars. This area has so much to offer that it is becoming very popular with those retiring to Spain and those wishing to start a new life in an area that is very Spanish and unspoiled yet has world class services.
There is so much to do and see that it is not possible to do it all in one holiday. However, try to visit Jerez, Cadiz, Sevilla, Vejer, Tarifa, Gibraltar and Morocco. |
