The
Costa del Sol is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world,
it's miles of beautiful sandy beaches and fantastic weather which have
kept tourists flocking back year after year to resorts like Torremolinos,
Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Marbella. The Costa del Sol caters for young
and old alike, offering a host of entertainment choices for the native
and visitor alike.
The
coast boasts one of the highest concentrations of world class golf courses,
to the extent that it is often dubbed "The Costa del Golf".
For families there are theme parks, including water parks, go-karting,
safari parks and many beautiful public gardens. For younger visitors the
main areas of attraction are Benalmadena's Puerto Marina & '24 hour
square' and Marbella's Puerto Banus. Both are very trendy and chic, but
be warned the bars and clubs don't get busy until near midnight and stay
open till dawn.

The area's history dates back to the Phoenicians and has since been inhabited
by Greeks, Romans and Moors, all of whom have left their mark on the areas
architecture and culture. Perhaps less well known is the areas culture,
often in the shadow of its neighbour Seville, The Costa and the Malaga
province are home to some of the finest Flamenco shows, bull fighting
& tapas restaurants.
The areas infrastructure is well organized with the new Autopista
del Sol providing access from Malaga to Estepona and beyond to Gibraltar.
The old N340 coast road is a little slower but offers some lovely sea
views as it winds its way along the coast. Links between Granada, Seville
and Cordoba are easily accessible for those wishing to venture further
inland. The International airport has regular flights to most major
cities and is located just 10 minutes from Malaga City centre, and is
within 30 minutes by car from most other popular resorts on the coast.
