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 part of Spain is separated into two distinct areas both of which extend out east and west from the capital city of Malaga Province, Malaga City. On the eastern side you will find that the province stretches for 54km from the city of Malaga and heads towards Grenada.

Whilst the other 100 km of coastline which runs from the west of Malaga city and stretches all the way to the border with the Province of Cadiz. It is this part of the coastline which has been developed and where most of the tourists coming to the region will stay.

The airport in Malaga is one of the busiest in the country and each year has more than 2 million visitors passing through its gates. These people will then head off to many of the resorts that stretch along the province’s coastline the main ones being Nerja, Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Marbella.

Many people visit the Costa del Sol for spending time sitting on the beach and getting a sun tan, but it has plenty more to offer those who visit the area. This area of Spain has now become popular with golfers as they are able to play their favorite sport here all year round. Today Malaga Province has more than 70 good quality golf courses for players of all handicaps to enjoy and is now becoming known as 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.

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.

Even though Malaga is very much a commercial city there are numerous things one can do and see during a day visit to the city. Along with wandering around the old port and quarter there is the Roman theatre and Moorish palace to be seen. Plus no visit to this city will be complete without taking in the Picasso Museum as this is the city where the artist was born and lived.

Certainly of all the tourist destinations to be offered around Spain the Costa del Sol is one that offers so much more than a relaxing beach holiday. This is probably one of the reasons why so many people return year after year.
