we went one trip to gibralta and took the tour up the rock to see the monkeys,well worth it.
the rest of the time we used the local bus service and taxis,we went to bealmadena which is just up the road and we had been there the year before on holiday.we also went to nerja which is a very nice village up in the hills and marbella where we went looking for potra banus not realising that porta banus is outside the town and had to get a taxi,its worth a look to see how the other half live.
fungerola is nice with plenty of bars and restaraunts im sure you will enjoy yourself.
