Villanueva del Ariscal

Villanueva del Ariscal was an agricultural town previously known as Villanueva Aliscar. It has about 6,400 inhabitants.

Prenatal Care

Excellent prenatal care is standard throughout Andalucia at both private and public centres. Expect regular visits to both your "médico de familia" - or family doctor - and to the nearest gynaecologist. The exact schedule will depend on the clinic you are working with.

Convento de las Madres Trinitarias Descalzas

The presence of the Contemplative Trinitarian Mothers in the city dates back to 1587, the year in which they founded their convent. Little remains of the original convent, due to the passing time and successive renovations.

Fuente Amarga Spa, Tolox

The Balneario de Fuente Amarga (Bitter Fountain) was established in 1867 and its waters declared for public use in 1871. It is located in the village of Tolox one hours drive inland from Marbella or Malaga at 360 meters above sea level at the entrance to the Sierra de la Nieves Natural Park and has clear air, a splendid warm climate, abundant water and green vegetation - a sheer delight in contrast to the pollution and stress of modern life.

Shopping in La Costa del Sol

Shopping on the Costa del Sol in one respect is similar to shopping in the rest of Andalucia. Plenty of small, often family-run, shops still pack out the streets of small towns and resorts, in addition to this there are more hyper-markets, shopping centres and specialist international shops.

La Catarina

La Catarina Cerveza Artesana Marbella was the full name of an out-of-the-way alternative venue in Nueva Andalucia which gained cult status whilst it was open from 2014 to 2019. In spring 2019 the venue closed and the Micro Brewery moved to a larger facility next to the AgroJardin garden center in Cancelada district of Estepona next to the A7 at km 164 and just west of river Guadalmansa.

Iglesia Parroquial de la Inmaculada

The church was built by Juan Fernández in 1546 and has undergone many transformations throughout its history. Only the framework of the central nave remains of the original construction, featuring simple lintels and ten paired braces with a bow of eight on corbels in an inverted Mannerist design in the Mudejar style. The church now has three naves, separated by semicircular arches on pillars, as well as a transept, a main chapel, and a tower at the entrance.

El Portico

On the opposite side of the square is another popular bar called El Portico and this hidden treasure specializes in Castilian cuisine. This rustic themed establishment opened in 1999 and offers a range of gourmet-style tapas, including quail eggs, asparagus, lacón Gallego (boiled ham), angula (baby eels), and roast pepper salad.

History

The earliest recorded data on Bubión was collected by Hernando de Jorquera and dates back to the time of the Goths, although the first organised colony was Roman and almost all of its inhabitants were involved in mining.

Plaza Duquesa de Parcent, Ronda

By far the loveliest public space in Ronda, this leafy square boasts an embarrassment of monuments. Its star is the Iglesia de Santa Maria del Mayor, whose exquisite belltower suggests Renaissance twinned with Toytown. This is another church commissioned by the Reyes Catolicos, sited with some purpose on the ruins of a mosque, believed to have been the centre of prayer in the Arabic Medina.

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Reposo

The construction of the church started in the second half of the sixteenth century and was completed in the first decades of the seventeenth century. Iglesia de Santa María under the invocation of the Virgen del Reposo, has since then been the parish church of the town.
