Distance from Costa Natura: 12 miles - 12 minutes
This is where rich people moor their boats on the Costa del Sol, a strip of designer shops, interspaced with restaurants,
discos, British pubs and American steak houses. This is also the nearest El Cortes
Ingles department store to Costa Natura. There is a hypermarket inside El Cortes on the ground floor, which can be very useful for last minute
food shopping.
Parque Commercial La Canada
Distance from Costa Natura: 16 miles - 16 minutes
Situated on the Ojen exit of the N340 motorway, just outside Marbella and well signposted. This is where to go if you want a vast modern French-style hypermarket complex, complete with MacDonalds!
Estepona
Distance from Costa Natura: 1 mile - 1 minutes
Lots of small interesting shops in the center of Estepona, with a pedestrian shopping precinct.
There is also a small Carrefours hypermarket on the Eastern outskirts of Estepona.
Marbella
Distance from Costa Natura: 14 miles - 14 minutes
Lovely Plaza de los Naranjos is a good place for coffee, before exploring the
pedestrianized casco antiguo (old town). Or walk along the beach promenade -
see how far you can walk westwards before being crippled with jealousy from all the
enormous sea-front villas.
