Casa Alise is in the middle of "everything" on the Costa del Sol. The endless beaches are one thing, but there is so much more to see and do here. In this guide we share some of our favourite places in and around Los Boliches and Fuengirola.
If you need a holiday home close to these activities, we naturally recommend Casa Alise, which sleeps 4, and Casa Agnethe with room for 10 people.

Large sections of the wonderful 180-kilometre Senda Litoral coastal path are already finished. It lets you run, cycle or walk all the way from Manilva in the south to Nerja in the north.
