COSTA DOL SOL (Sunny Coast)

Costa del Sol has so much to offer, it is hardly surprising that an ever-increasing number of people are seeking to establish a home here. For many, the climate is the chief deciding factor. The winters are mild and the summers are hot without becoming oppressive.

The Costa del Sol also boasts a wide variety of towns, coastal resorts and countryside. Whether you seek the castanet clicking spirit of Malaga, the Moorish grandeur of Granada or the jet set lifestyle of Marbella, Costa del Sol has it all, and more...

The Costa del Sol is renown for its nightlife in Marbella and nearby Puerto Banús playing host to the most exclusive venues. For swanky surrounds head for the famous "Golden Mile", illuminated with a glittering tiara of star-studded restaurants, discos and nightclubs, frequented by local boy Banderas whenever he's in town.

Few places on earth of similar size can match the number and variety of the restaurants on the seaside Costa del Sol. Like many of the sports facilities, top quality eating-places are being established inland in greatly increasing numbers. The family-run restaurants known as ventas are located almost exclusively in the Málaga province countryside and there you can enjoy traditional dishes for very affordable prices. They serve large portions of simple Spanish food at prices you will find hard to believe and (naturally), they are very popular with residents and visitors alike.

From Malaga eastwards there are cliffs of up to 200m where the Sierra Almijara joins the sea. This section ends at Mara on a coastal plain. It has an urban landscape surrounded by traditional agriculture. In the limestone hills is Nerja cave. Nerja is the most important centre on the coast and has grown rapidly. It is surrounded with tourist pueblos (villages). At the foot of Nerja a winding footpath joins several coves.

The western coast is highly developed from Malaga to Cadiz, the provincial capital, from the point of view of international tourism. Communications revolve around Malaga International Airport (8 km west of the city) and the N340 backbone coast highway. In the middle of the Costa the greatly improved district road from San Pedro de Alcantara inland to the historic town of Ronda is the most important inland connection.
