Advice on taking a Holiday in the Costa del Sol
The Costa Del Sol which has more than 150km of coastline is the most popular tourist destination in Spain with tourists from around Europe and the world. The main reason for its popularity is that it offers good weather nearly all the time throughout the year.
This area of Spain is divided up into two distinct areas one being the Eastern part and the other being the Western. The eastern part of this region is made up of a 54km stretch of the coastline and stretches from the east of Malaga city which is also the capital of the Province.
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.
Although many people come to spend time just relaxing on the wide open beaches that the Costa Del Sol has to offer. It is now becoming a very popular all year round destination for those who enjoy playing golf. Today the area has now more than 70 golf courses which can be played on and has earned the name of being 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.
If you are a keen rock climber then a visit to the area known as El Chorro only a short distance away from Malaga airport may be worth considering visiting. Certainly this is a location in Spain that has now become a very popular one with climbers from around the world and many come during the winter months to try and scale its heights.
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.
Malaga is very much a commercial city at heart but still has plenty to offer those who visit the city for a day. Along with the Port and Old Quarter, one can take in the Roman theatre and the Moorish Palace. Plus this is where the world renowned artiste Picasso was born and lived and so time should be taking to visit the Picasso Museum whilst in Malaga.
As you can see from above there is far more for one to do and see when holidaying on the Costa del Sol. Certainly if you want a fun filled holiday then this is a destination worth considering.
