Costa Del Sol

On the south coast of Spain between Gibral¬tar southwest and Almeria to the east, this coastline encompasses parts of Malaga, Cadiz, Almeria and Granada - four of the provinces of Andalucia, Spain's most southern community. The beaches on the Costa del Sol are not so wide, miles of sand, like the Atlantic coast but never far from the mountains and in some sections right next to them. They generally consist of a dull sand that has been created by the erosion of mountains. Andalucia attracts thousands of visitors from various coun¬tries each year? Fabulous sunshine nearly all year round: the Costa del Sol has an average of 300 sunshine days a year. Because the region is protected by an endless range of mountains, and the Sierra Nevada east of Malaga. Tempera¬tures in the Andalucia summer months rarely go above 85f. This climate encourages a nice atmosphere; local people’s lives changed hugely and retain a fun and happy easy going attitude, and tourists are made to feel very welcome.

Malaga's airport is the gateway to the Costa del Sol, which can be divided into two, east and west of Malaga. The better known image of the Costa del Sol is found to the west, where development stretches way back from the beach. In the 1st tourist rush town of Torremolinos, with high-rise hotels and tiny apartments blocks above the promenade and the busy back streets are full of pubs, clubs, discos, chip shops. The apartments around the marina of Benal¬madena, are more attractive than its near-neighbour, and show what can be achieved. Marbella, is very different. The original Marbella funtown of the 1960s rich. Incorporating Puerto Banus, Marbella can be very expensive, with it amazing restaurants and Marbella flashness.
