PASSIONATE ABOUT COSTA DEL SOL

COSTA DEL SOL, COSTA DEL GOLF, COSTA DEL… LOVE… WHY WE LOVE COSTA DEL SOL?

Costa del Sol means beautiful landscapes, fabulous beaches, delicious food, interesting customs and traditions. It means rich cultural heritage, amazing coastal areas, and charming white interland villages. It is unveiling marvellous secrets that will make your stay unforgettable.

Costa del Sol is found in the province of Malaga and stretches along the coastline for 159 km from Manilva to Nerja. Most of this coastline is composed of beautiful beaches of all types. Malaga is the capital city, with a metropolitan population of about a million.

East of Malaga there are the cities of Rincon de la Victoria, Torre del Mar, Velez-Malaga, Algarrobo, Torrox and Nerja. West of Malaga one can find the cities of Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Mijas Costa, Fuengirola, Marbella, San Pedro de Alcantara, and Estepona. A bit inland are the famous cities of Antequera, Alora and Ronda. The Costa del Sol is Spain’s best resort for number of reasons.

CLIMATE – IT’S almost ALWAYS SUNNY IN HERE

Costa del Sol has Spain’s best climate. The average temperature throughout the year is 18.5 C. There are at least 300 DAYS OF SUNSHINE and thus the name of Costa del Sol (Coast of the Sun). The winters are the mildest in Europe and there is plenty of tourism then, when northern Europeans want to escape their snow cold countries. There is little rain in winter, and even if it rains, the skies clear afterward and the sun shines again. Truly the climate is ideal in the Costa del Sol.

Two cities on the Costa del Sol, Marbella and Torrox Costa, have THE BEST MICROCLIMATES in Europe, with surrounding mountains protecting these cities from cold, northerly winds. The mild winters are appreciated by those who come to live here permanently, or those who want to spend winters here and return to their countries in spring. So winters are mild and summers are cooler than inland Spain.

GREAT BEACHES

With 159 kilometres of coastline, one expects to find good beaches in Costa del Sol. Actually all the beaches are world class, clean and have all the facilities, such as bars, restaurants, bathrooms and beach showers.

Blue Flag beaches are beaches that meet quality standards and Costa del Sol has very many Blue Flag beaches. In 2009, 23 beaches in the Costa del Sol received this honour.

The beaches have very good seafood restaurants that are economical or moderately priced. Fresh fish is served on a daily basis, and eating fish is one of Malaga’s enchantments.

GOLF PARADISE

Costa del Sol has at least 40 beautiful golf courses, many of them designed by the most famous golf course designers of the world. There are many more golf courses that are nearing completion or are starting construction. The good news is that most of them are being watered with recycled water.

The few that are not using recycled water are in the process of converting as there is a new law forcing all golf courses in the Malaga region to use recycled water. We believe that conscious people do appreciate it.

GOOD FOOD

Malagueños LOVE TO EAT and there are many very good restaurants all over the coast. Some are at the high end and have famous international chefs. All types of restaurants can be found in every city along the coast, from the most sophisticated to the simplest one. Many restaurants are of new construction and are beautiful, with wonderful gardens beside them and playgrounds for the little ones. The most sophisticated restaurants located in MARBELLA are also frequented by the famous people of Europe.

The small town of BENAHAVIS, close to Marbella, is calling itself the CULINARY CAPITAL of the Costa del Sol and boasts about 20 distinctive restaurants. The town gets crowded on weekends as people flow to these restaurants.

Costa del Sol now has SEVEN MICHELIN-STARRED restaurants, which confirms that GOOD food can be found here.

There are hundreds of CHIRINGUITOS (fish restaurants right on the beach) along the Costa del Sol, where one can eat fresh fish as well as the traditional and famous PAELLA. Besides that they now also serve meat & poultry dishes and salads.

There are very many good TAPAS restaurants too.

BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE

The countryside in Costa del Sol is very beautiful and scenic. From the beaches, the land goes into hills and mountains. There are many farms and groves of fruit trees, as well as olive trees. The countryside near Antequera is one of the most beautiful in Spain.

The Axarquia is the area east of Malaga and is another area that has a beautiful surroundings. The Serrania de Ronda is the mountain range around Ronda and it has some spectacular landscape too.

IT IS INTERNATIONAL

Because the Costa del Sol is so beautiful, it has lured thousands of expats from all over the world. They have made the Costa del Sol very sophisticated and international. They have all contributed their culture to the area’s culture in a very positive way.

Many of them have small and mid-sized businesses here. That is why Costa del Sol is one of the most cosmopolitan areas in Spain. It’s a fact that two out of every three tourists who come to Costa del Sol return in the future because they enjoyed it so very much.
