Costa del Sol Holiday Villas - Advice and Tips

The Costa Del Sol in Spain is one of the most popular destinations with tourists and stretches over 150km. The main reason why this area of Spain is proving so popular with tourists is because it has such wonderful weather all year round.

This part of Spain is separated into two distinct areas both of which extend out east and west from the capital city of Malaga Province, Malaga City. On the eastern side you will find that the province stretches for 54km from the city of Malaga and heads towards Grenada.

The other 100km of coastline that makes up Malaga province again starts on the western side of Malaga city but goes as far as the border with Cadiz Province. This is the area where most development has been taking place and where many tourists will spend their holidays.

The main airport in to which people will fly when visiting the Costa del Sol is that based on the outskirts of Malaga. This then provides them with easy access to all the major resorts along the coastline including Nerja, Marbella, Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Benalmadena.

Many people visit the Costa del Sol for spending time sitting on the beach and getting a sun tan, but it has plenty more to offer those who visit the area. This area of Spain has now become popular with golfers as they are able to play their favorite sport here all year round. Today Malaga Province has more than 70 good quality golf courses for players of all handicaps to enjoy and is now becoming known as the “Costa del Golf” as well.

As well as being able to play golf there are plenty of other activities to keep one amused whilst on holiday in the Costa del Sol. You could give sailing a try or scuba diving, plus there are dolphin safaris and treks into the countryside on horseback. Certainly by travelling further inland from the Costa del Sol coastline there are plenty of other exciting activities one can try.

For anyone who has experience of rock climbing then not far from Malaga you will find El Chorro. This part of Spain has become a popular location with climbers from around the world and many come to try out it rock faces during the winter months.

If you want to spend more time just relaxing then Marbella, Benalmadena and Torremolinos are the ideal resorts for this. Along with beautiful beaches there are plenty of great bars and restaurants where you can sit and eat and drink and just watch the world go by.

Although Malaga is very much a commercial city there are plenty of things for one to do and see whilst visiting it just for the day. There is the old port as well as the old quarter where you will find a Moorish Palace and a Roman theatre. This is also the home to the Picasso Museum as this is where the renowned artiste was born.

Certainly of all the tourist destinations to be offered around Spain the Costa del Sol is one that offers so much more than a relaxing beach holiday. This is probably one of the reasons why so many people return year after year.
