The Costa del Sol is one of Europe's most popular year-round holiday spots, stretching for 160 kilometres to the east and west of Malaga on the south coast of Spain.
Miles of magnificent beaches cater for sun soakers, watersports enthusiasts, naturists and celebrity spotters. The rich and famous are to be found in swanky Puerto Banus on their multi-million pound yachts. The firm favourites of Torremolinos and Fuengirola continue to offer British holiday makes with fantastic beaches and a huge choice of bars and restaurants. Marbella continues to offer a wide choice of upmarket hotels and apartments. With it’s mild winter and hot summers Costa Del Sol is an ideal destination whether you are looking for winter or summer sun.
Since the package holiday boom of the 1960s, the Costa del Sol's ancient towns and fishing villages have been transformed into mega tourist centres geared to the demands of the millions of international visitors who flock here each year. Much of the coastline is dominated by hotels, apartments blocks, restaurants and entertainment centres. But there are still relatively unspoilt resort areas where you can enjoy a "sun and sea" holiday whilst still soaking up the flavour of traditional Andalucian life.
