One of Europe’s favourite Mediterranean holiday regions, the vast Costa del Sol or ‘Sun Coast’ runs from the Costa Tropical south of Granada to the tip of Tarifa past Gibraltar. It really does have something for everyone – sandy beaches, year-round sunshine, excellent sporting facilities and lively nightlife. And if you like a little culture on your holidays, there’s plenty to see.
With over 300 days of sunshine a year, the Costa del Sol is a wonderful place to enjoy a few rounds of golf. With over 35 courses, and more under construction, it is no wonder the area attracts golfers from across the world. The Costa del Sol is famous for the nightlife. There is a wide variety of bars, pubs and clubs to suit all ages and nationalities on the Costa del Sol.
Many of the villages near the coast have become fashionable resorts, while still conserving their ancient charm, whereas others, lost in the highlands, remain rough-and-ready olive-farming towns, with a special appeal for adventurous travellers. Inland explore sleepy whitewashed villages such as Mijas superb historic cities including Granada, Cordoba and Seville the soaring mountains of the Sierra Nevada not to mention fiestas, flamenco and flavoursome local cuisine.
The Costa del Sol offers a lifetime’s worth of variety.
