The village of Istán is located just a steppingstone away from Marbella, in the Sierra de las Nieves nature areaIt is a small picturesque village nestling in a lush valley overlooking the Reservoir of La Concepcíon and in the foothills of the Sierra Blanca mountains.
La Concepcíon is also known as the Rio Verde Reservoir, and it supplies the 450 000 inhabitants of the Costa del Sol with drinking water.


The lake side offers a great outdoor  adventure for family.
In the summertime you can hire a Canoes, Kayaks and more.


The recreational park of Ermita de San Míguel is set on a steep hillside near to the main road leading to the village of Istán


You will find many picnic tables and special viewpoints where you and your family can enjoy the natural surroundings and the fantastic scenery. 


There is even a stone brick barbecue area that can be used at certain times of year (due to fire risk).
