     | Take 
    an excursion to  explore picturesque towns such as Marbella, Puerto 
    Banus, Ronda, Torremolinos, or Mijas. Or opt for a day-trip to Granada, to 
    the splendid Alhambra, built in stages by different Moorish rulers of Spain, 
    between the 13th and 15th centuries, prior to the retaking of Spain by the 
    Christians in 1492. Ferdinand and Isabella are buried in Granada in the 
    Cathedral.
    Note: Mijas and Rhonda are very picturesque; Torremolinos is less so. The 
    Alhambra in Grenada is spectacular, but seems in need of some additional 
    restoration. The adjoining Generalife gardens are perhaps the best part of 
    the palace, but they may not be part or your tour, because of the time 
    needed to walk there. Ask! SP
