Costa del Sol - Travel Guide

Area Information

The Costa del Sol is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world: its miles of beautiful, sandy beaches and fantastic weather have kept tourists flocking back year after year to resorts like Mijas, Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Marbella. The Costa del Sol caters to the young and old alike, offering a host of entertainment choices for both natives and visitors.

The Costa Del Sol welcomes more than two million people a year who arrive at Malaga international airport and head to one of the many resorts located along this stretch of coastline from Gibraltar in the west to Nerja in the east. The most well known resorts lie west of Malaga beginning with Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Mijas Costa. Further along the coast lies Marbella with its famous marina at Puerto Banus, Estepona, Sotogrande and finally Gibraltar.

The area's mild climate is the root attraction that makes it possible to enjoy the beaches and a wide variety of outdoor activities year round. With the Costa del Sol weather giving average annual temperatures of 18ºC and over 300 days of sunshine per year it isn't difficult to understand why it is one of Europe's top holiday destinations.

The coast boasts one of the highest concentrations of world-class golf courses on the "Costa del Golf" which can be played all year round. For families there are a whole range of outdoor activities available in Costa del Sol such as sailing, scuba diving, horse riding, theme parks, water parks, go-karting, safari parks and many beautiful public gardens. Younger visitors will find a very trendy and chic nightlife where bars an clubs don't get busy until near midnight and stay open 'till dawn.

Benalmadena - Costa del Sol

Benalmadena is located to the west of Malaga and Torremolinos, although due to the expansion of both Benalmadena Costa and Torremolinos there is little distinction in terms of distance between the two. Benalmadena's tourist explosion occurred later than Torremolinos' and it has managed to avoid some of the uglier large concrete developments of the 1970's. Make no mistake though: this is still the heart of tourist country with crowded beaches, an abundance of British bars and restaurants to cater for most tastes. More information about Benalmadena...

Mijas Costa - Costa del Sol

One of the finest examples of the "white villages," it still has much of its charm with its little whitewashed houses perched on the hillside. Mijas is a typical Andalucian village, perched high above Fuengirola and Mijas Costa with spectacular views of the coast and surrounding heavily wooded mountains.

Mijas Costa is the part of the municipality of Mijas which covers the 12 kilometre stretch of coastline joining (from East to West) El Chaparral, La Cala, El Combo and Calahonda and takes in the two major urbanizations, Riviera del Sol and Sitio de Calahonda. More information about Mijas Costa...
