Camping Cabopino

Restaurants and chiringuitos (beach bars) are abundant around the nearby beach and Cabopino town, and the means for jetskiing, boat hire and dolphin watching trips on and around its waters. The town's famed too as a hangout for the rich and famed, so if celeb spotting is your bag, make for Puerto Banus port to see who you can spy aboard their luxurious yachts. From Cabopino, catch a bus for the short ride along the coast to Marbella, home of yet more celebs and millionaires such as George Clooney and Simon Cowell (many more can be spotted in the wild here every summer on their hols). Also in town are 24 beaches, ancient city walls, swish Golden Mile villas, several museums and a clutch of posh boutiques for serious shopping. More walls are at Ronda, the town that was a fave of Hemingway, or you could (should) mooch along to Málaga, one of the oldest cities in Europe and with sights galore to see including the Roman theatre, Alcazaba fortress and famed Picasso Museum.
