Just a few short steps from the golden sands of Playa Real De Zaragoza, you’ll find this cosy and characterful apartment ready to welcome you home from a day of surf and sun. The combined kitchen and living room make for a bright and open social space, enhanced by the sliding glass doors leading seamlessly to the covered patio. Here, you can kick back on the stylish outdoor furniture with a glass of local wine or enjoy a family style meal alfresco around the extensive dinner table. The apartment complex also features an array of shared amenities that you can enjoy during your stay. If you’ve got some energy to burn, why not head out to the tennis courts or football pitch for a quick game, and if you need a break from the beach the three pool areas dotted with palm trees each provide a unique spot to take advantage of the Spanish sunshine. While the beach might be what grabs your attention, don’t forget to explore some of the region’s historic cities, like the beautiful Malaga with its famed Cathedral of the Incarnation.
