Costa del Sol. An Ideal place to rest and practise golf
The Costa del Sol region of Spain could be the secret find you talk about for anniversaries to come. This will take you through the lush Spanish countryside, into Moorish villages and medieval ruins, not to mention high-end restaurants with super fresh seafood.
You'll golf Valderrama of course. But there's more than just the storied home of the 1997 Ryder Cup here. Courses like Sotogrande — opened in 1964 and considered the grandfather of golf in the region and still one of the top courses in Europe — and Torrequebrada — where its beauty is equaled by its trickiness — provide more than enough rounds to fill a trip.
"I honestly believe that if I wanted to get away with my wife and another couple on a trip, I'd pick a trip to Spain's Costa del Sol," Ward said. "It's just a beautiful climate — it's always moderate. The people are very friendly and there's a great series of little villages and hilltop views."

My husband and I recently went on a long weekend golfing in Almeria and had a fantastic time. There were two courses nearby the Spanish Villa which we rented in a small town called Mojacar.
The closest was Valle del Este. A stunning 18 hole golf course. 6269 yards par 71. The views were stunning. The par four, 15th is one of the longest holes you will encounter if the wind is against you and the finishing hole is a beautiful par 4 with water cascading to your left flowing from the lake that protects the green on three sides. Amazing.
We also managed to fit in Desert Springs, which was 6750 yards par 72. It has been built to rival any of the famous desert courses of Arizona and California and was designed by successful Walker Cup captain, Peter McEvoy. Hugely testing golf either on lush fairways or chipping back into position from the rugged desert terrain.
This was a birthday present for my husband, and not one I can imagine myself topping any time soon.
