Their website is easy to navigate. The depot is off-site from the airport but boarding the shuttle is very easy and safe. Follow directions on the website to find the shuttle.

Upon arrival and luggage collection in the Malaga airport, follow exit signs. Before the main doors into the public arrival area, a TravelWifi kiosk stands in the middle of the hall. It is very convenient, quick, and reasonably priced. A sim card and 150 Gb of data for approximately 25 Euros.

There are many grocery stores nearby, each has a subtle difference and/or specialty. 

We typically visit Lidl in Sabinillas/Manilva for large hauls at the beginning of our stay.

If larger/specific items or a wider selection of goceries or wine are needed, a short trip to Carrefour in Estepona is recommended.

La Duquesa port, Sabinillas beach, Manilva beach, Estepona port and many other spots are within a 5 minute drive.

A convenient station is located at the bottom of the hill before the round-about, very easy to access and about 1 minute from the urbanization.

Additionally, for a considerable savings, a discount station can be accessed East on the freeway towards Estepona.

This area of the Costa del Sol has many golf courses within 20 mins, Finca Cortesin is less than 5 minutes up the road. There are also an abundance of gyms and fitness centers, our favorite is Bluefitness gym.
