Holidays in Istan

Istan is a destination with plenty of cool stories to tell. If you think your life's been a bit humdrum lately, a trip here is the perfect answer!

It's situated 440 kilometres south of Spain's capital, Madrid.

Does chilling out on the shore interest you? Plan an outing to Venus Beach or Bolonia.

We all know that spending time outdoors is good for your health and happiness. With that in mind, why don't you make your way 30 kilometres out of Istan to Pileta Caves? El Chorro Gorge, just 40 kilometres away, is another excellent option.

Whether you'd like to learn more about the cultural and religious aspects of the area or just relax in the peaceful atmosphere, Ermita de San Miguel is the place to go.

Remember to visit other nearby sights, such as Puerto Banus Marina and the La Quinta Golf. You will find them 11 kilometres southwest in Benahavis. Not ready to give back the hire car just yet? Orange Square and Funny Beach are in Marbella, 12 kilometres to the southeast of Istan.

Both tourists and locals often make the trip to Ronda. This place is 25 kilometres away and pretty close to Puente Viejo, Puente Nuevo and the Puerta de Almocabar. If you're staying on a while, don't miss the Museo Lara and El Tajo Gorge.

Eating is one of life's biggest pleasures, and since you're reading this, we guess you think travel is too. Combine your affection for both by heading out and tasting the food and drink offerings at a few of the restaurants, cafés and bars in town.

Do you like custard apple? What about ham? Whether you're keen on them or not, they are two essential ingredients often found in the cuisine here.

During your time in Istan, you should eat like the locals do. That means ordering a plate of flamenquín (fried bacon wrapped pork loin) or ajoblanco (bread, almond and garlic soup), some of the area's classic dishes.

You might be eating your way into a bigger set of trousers, but alfajor (flour and hazelnut sweet) is certainly worth it. This favourite dessert will make your taste buds tingle at the sight of it.

Make good use of your time in the air by memorising a couple of phrases in Spanish. 'Buenos días' can be translated as 'good morning'. One more often used phrase is '¡Feliz cumpleaños!' ('happy birthday').

Don't forget to pencil the 12th of October in your calendar. To the locals, this means one thing — National Day. A major day of festivities, this is an excellent time of year to check out the country.

Like all good things, your time here must eventually come to an end. When it's finally time to leave, say "Adiós" and spend your leftover holiday allowance on some postcards to take home.

Malaga Airport (AGP) is the nearest terminal, 45 kilometres to the east. Ensure you leave yourself plenty of time to get there.

Hotels in Istan

Thrifty travellers can rest easy. Budget rooms await at the La Villa Marbella and the Puerta de Aduares. These digs are proof that good service doesn't need to cost an arm and a leg. But if luxury is what you're after, The Westin La Quinta Golf Resort and Spa or the Aloha Gardens will be right up your alley.
