The Roman Baths of Julius Caesar is an unusual experience. Although a lot of tourists find there way here this is not a touristy area. If its a hot day it might be busy but plastering clay mud all over your body and swimming in a cave is an unusual experience which is easy to do in this area. Park in the parking lot though to avoid a parking ticket.

A favorite restaurant and tops of the list with Trip Advisor this restaurant never ceases to please. Lunch specials are a great way to take the cuisine which mixes Mediterranean with a touch of Asian. Mmmh.

Benahavis is synonymous with food. It has the highest concentration of high class restaurants in the region and draws visitors by the thousand who come simply to savour the cuisine.
In spite of this, it has remained remarkably unspoiled, with winding narrow streets ill-suited to the motor car, and a picturesqueness which almost makes it seem like a specially-created film set

Sightseeing
Sierra Crestellina (“Crested Range”), granted Protected Natural Site status in 1989, is located in the municipality of Casares. It stands out for its geographical formations: medium-height mountains with an uneven surface, hence the name. Covering an area of 478 hectares, these formations were created by the action of water and weather conditions on the limestone the terrain is composed of. A range of walks allow visitors to enjoy the area’s landscapes; there are a range of difficulty levels which depend on the elevation change of the route. One point of interest is the birds that frequent the site, particularly the carrion birds which can be seen from the los Buitres (“the Vultures”) viewpo

Parks & Nature
The Sierra Bermeja mountain (1.449m) dominates the landscape behind Estepona. There are few places in the world where a mountain reaches this height so close to the sea (10km) You can drive to near the top in under an hour. Take the road (Caratera Genalguacil) (MA-557) signposted Genalguacil from the traffic lights on the Estepona inner bypass (Avda de Andalucia), near the Mercadona supermarket.
