Holiday Homes in the Costa del Sol - Travel Tips

by Steve Woodward

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.

Whereas the other 100km of the Malaga Province coastline stretches from Malaga city and ends up on the border with the Province of Cadiz. This is the part of the Costa del Sol where generally most tourists will go to when they stay in this part of the province.

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 the golf courses there are plenty of other activities that visitors to the area can enjoy including scuba diving, sailing, wind surfing, dolphin safaris and horse riding. For those who would like to try something a little different or more strenuous then taking a trip further inland is worth considering.

For anyone who has experience of rock climbing then not far from Malaga you will find El Chorro. This part of Spain has become a popular location with climbers from around the world and many come to try out it rock faces during the winter months.

However, if you would rather just sit back and relax and watch the world go by then a visit to Marbella, Torremolinos and Benalmadena should be considered. Here you can spend time on its beautiful beaches soaking up a few rays of the sun or wander into one of its many delightful beach side bars or restaurants.

Although Malaga is very much a commercial city there are plenty of things for one to do and see whilst visiting it just for the day. There is the old port as well as the old quarter where you will find a Moorish Palace and a Roman theatre. This is also the home to the Picasso Museum as this is where the renowned artiste was born.

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.
