 Costa del Sol Holidays
The densely populated coast of Andalusia, stretching from Almeria to Tarifa, is Europe’s all-year-round favoured holiday destination, known as the Costa del Sol. It consists of a string of fine sandy beaches, where the average water temperature is 64ºF (18ºC), and picturesque towns have abundant tourist amenities, resorts and high-rise hotels. Attractions include zoos, bullfights, water parks, casinos and amusement parks, like the renowned Parque de Attractions Tivoli. The most popular resort town on the Costa del Sol is Torremolinos, which retains some elements of traditional Spain, although most main streets are now pedestrianised-thoroughfares filled with souvenir shops and ice-cream parlours. |

| Holidays in the Costa del Sol – A wide range of resorts |
| Benalmadena Upmarket coastal resort built around a large marina equipped to handle more than 1,000 boats and yachts of all types. Characterised by luxury hotel and apartment complexes, the resort also offers many sports facilities. It is home to the Sea Life Centre and the Mississippi Willow, a restored steamboat. Along the main promenade are a number of Moorish watchtowers and also the Arab-style Castillo del Bil-Bil, used for conferences, concerts and exhibitions. The daytime fun focuses on the new Moorish-style port area which features several small beaches where you can enjoy your own private space and while away the day. All around, you'll find a good variety of restaurants, shops and cocktail bars where you can tuck into some tasty tapas or enjoy a long, lazy supper before enjoying the town's lively nightspots, bars and casino. Marbella is the "jet-set" capital of the Costa del Sol, the "in" place with Europe's and America's fast-living pace-setters. The area is a golfer's paradise, boasting several excellent courses. There are several tennis clubs in the resort and horse riding is found at some beaches and some inland stables. 4 miles from the centre is the modern development of Nueva Andalucia, covering several square miles. The old town still has a quaint atmosphere and has retained some of its 16th-century charm. Ideal for a relaxed sunbathing and sociable holiday, Marbella is one of Costa del Sol's most elegant spots. The town's old quarter, laced with narrow alleyways and leafy cafe-Lined plazas is a great place to spend a laid-back morning or afternoon. Elsewhere you'll find excellent restaurants and upmarket boutiques strung out along wide, sophisticated boulevards, just made for strolling. Otherwise, you can simply lounge about on the famous sandy beach. At night, Marbella offers bright lights in abundance, with lots of stylish bars and clubs to keep you entertained. The glamorous marina with its casino and up-market shopping of Puerto Banus is just down the coast.
Torremolinos Bright, bold and packed with all the fun under the sun, Torremolinos, the most happening resort on this upbeat stretch of coast, is heaven if you want limitless entertainment on tap. If you can drag yourself away from the sandy beach, there's a wealth of enjoyment just waiting. The town's old El Calvario quarter is well worth a tour and if you want a taste of real Spain. Elsewhere, the town is jam-packed with gift shops, outdoor restaurants and bars, as well as excellent leisure amenities, so you can play tennis, ten-pin bowl or splash out a brilliant Aquapark. And naturally, the whole place is jumping at night, with lively discos, nightspots and British pubs galore. It's easy to get to Gibraltar when you want a breather. Journey time from airport: 25 minutes approx. |
