COSTA DEL SOL
In Málaga and the Costa del Sol you will find beautiful landscapes, fabulous beaches, delicious food, interesting customs and traditions. It means discovering a rich cultural heritage, amazing coastal areas, and charming white hinterland villages. It is unveiling marvelous secrets that will make your visit unforgettable.
The Costa del Sol is the gateway to Andalucia renowned for its white-washed villages that surround the many cascading hillsides and beautiful cities such as Granada and Seville.
The Costa del Sol is exactly that, the sunshine coast it experiences approximately 320 days of sunshine every year. What’s more the regions 161 kilometre coastline has everything you need to make the most of the weather. In Marbella alone there are 25kms of silky sand beaches broken up by 5 star hotels and beach clubs. The beaches of Torremolinos offers countless tapas bars, shops and ice cream parlours and Benalmadena offers an array of entertainment, beautiful resorts and cosmopolitan harbours.
Puerto Banus offers a sophisticated and refined outlook on the coast unlike El Cristo which offers a safe and friendly family environment.
NERJA
Teetering on the rocks on the southern tip of Andalusia – about 40 minutes from Malàga – is Nerja, AKA the jewel of the Costa del Sol. You’re in classic Costa territory here, with sandy beaches and an all-night bar scene. There’s tumultuous history to explore, too – the centrepiece is the Balcon de Europa, a viewing platform that was once part of a battle-torn castle. No wonder King Alfonso XII made Nerja his holiday home back in the 1880s.
FUENGIROLA
Sandwiched between Torremolinos and Marbella, the former fishing village of Fuengirola is now one of the Costa del Sol’s biggest players. It’s got the high-rise hotels, buzzing bars and tourist-friendly restaurants to prove it, but there are also side streets and squares crammed with upmarket tapas places and chic boutiques. And a Moorish castle adds a bit of history. The real draw, though, is the super-sized sandy beach.
BENALMADENA
Torremolinos’ next door neighbour is a gracious and well-loved resort on Spain’s Costa del Sol. It lines up modern hotel complexes and apartment blocks along the 10-kilometre seafront area called Benalmadena Costa, but also packs in plenty of Andalusian appeal in the Spanish part of town.
TORREMOLINOS
Torremolinos is a bit of a dab hand when it comes to holidays – and it’s got 3.5 million yearly visitors to prove it. This is one of the oldest and best-loved holiday places on the Costa del Sol, with a pedigree going back to the early Fifties. Back then, it was a haunt of Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra. Nowadays things still revolve around the sandy beach, but there’s party nightlife and great shopping in the mix, too.
MARBELLA
Marbella is one of the most stylish Mediterranean destinations, offering 16 golf courses, four marinas, 25 beaches and world-class accommodation. In addition, the most glamorous city on the Costa del Sol has about 20 spas and thalassotherapy centres, haute cuisine restaurants and exclusive beach clubs.
Visitors can go sightseeing in the Old Town or enjoy a wide array of leisure centres. Shopaholics will feel at home at Ricardo Soriano Avenue or Puerto Banús, where the luxury shops are a good match to the fancy yachts moored in its piers.
PUERTO BANUS
Puerto Banus is located in the Nueva Andalucia suburb of Marbella, 6km to the west of the town centre, just before you reach the small town of San Pedro de Alcantara.
Although it may at first appear as a developed old Spanish fishing village with an impressive mountain backdrop , Puerto Banus was in fact designed and built in 1970 by local property developer José Banús as a luxury marina and shopping complex.
Officially named Puerto Jose Banus, after the architect who designed the town, Puerto Banús is known as Costa del Sol’s playground for the rich and wealthy that come here for the beaches, the beach clubs and the buzzing nightlife. The shops and restaurants reflect this expensive lifestyle, with plenty of designer names on offer around the marina. If you enjoy people-watching and are there during the summer months you’ll never be short of popstars or reality TV stars to spot. If sports cars and big boats are more your thing, don’t worry, there are plenty of Ferraris and luxury yachts to admire
SAN PEDRO
Along Spain’s famous Costa del Sol, just ten kilometres from Marbella is the charming Andalucian town of San Pedro De Alcantara. The town’s central plaza is a hub of activity with an impressive parish church and pleasant cafes dotted around the square. For a bit of retail therapy, you can spend your day roaming the town’s character-filled narrow streets, with Thursdays being market day, where you can pick up a bargain or two.
Sun worshippers and nature lovers should head to San Pedro De Alcantara’s beach, which is fringed by palm trees with soft silky sand and the inviting waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Energetic types can enjoy the water sports on offer including diving, fishing and surfing. If you prefer to sit back and take in the sea views, the town’s beachfront Avenida del Marques del Duero has a wonderful selection of restaurants, many specializing in seafood.
If lazing by the beach and eating delicious food all gets a bit too much, there are some interesting historical monuments close by. The 4th century church, Basilica de Vega del Mar, overlooks the sea and the nearby 3rd century Roman baths, Las Bovedas, should impress even the most discerning of history buffs.
The resort also plays host to the last Andalucian festival of the summer. This takes place in the second week of October, which includes a bull fight to celebrate local Iberian culture
BENAHAVIS
Some boast that this is the most beautiful town in Andalucia tucked a few kilometres inland between Estepona and San Pedro de Alcántara, this quaint and picturesque pueblo is considered the gastronomic capital of the Costa del Sol; home to some of the finest restaurants found anywhere in southern Spain.
Anybody who lives nearby will shoot envious looks toward a Benahavís resident, for what the town may lack in vibrancy and convenience, it more than makes up for with its peace and quiet, deep well of charm and breathtaking beauty. With a gourmet restaurant on pretty much every corner, pristine streets that wind their way steeply through the stunning heart of town and an emerald encasing of densely-wooded mountains, Benahavís is as sleepy as can be, with every view a potential picture postcard.
ESTEPONA
Estepona is one of the most popular tourist resorts in Western Costa del Sol. Its well-appointed beaches, wonderful marina, eight golf courses, seven museums and interesting sights make it a popular destination, offering facilities for health and wellness, and for luxury travellers as well. Visitors to Estepona can enjoy both the sea at the town’s feet and the sheltering mountains surrounding it. The area with the greatest environmental value is Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja.
SOTOGRANDE
At the western end of the Costa del Sol of Malaga, but actually within the municipality of San Roque in Cadiz Province is Sotogrande, one of the most luxurious sports and residential developments in Europe. Its’ 2,500 hectares (6,178 acres) encompass all the amenities you could imagine as a complement to the Polo Club, Golf, beache club, world class marina and incredible bars, restaurants. All this make Sotogrande a unique experience for residents and visitors alike
