Costa del
Sol Travel Information
The coast of eternal sunshine possesses a luminous quality. It greets
Christmas and Easter with short sleeves and celebrates summer and autumn
under shaded parasols, attracting successive generations of sun lovers
since Phoenician, Roman and Carthaginian times.
Malaga
Costa del Sol
Spain
The Costa del Sol rises like a bronzed Aphrodite from the Straits of
Gibraltar in the west, stretching to the beaches of Nerja in the east.
Veiled sierras are lined with scenic routes snaking past luxurious
coastal resorts, arboreal retreats and whitewashed villages perched
precariously on hillsides.
The undiluted splendour of this southern sanctuary is described by its
superb beaches, sun kissed resorts and vibrant nature. Nerja and
Marbella are also only an hour or two away from some of Spain's greatest
and most awe-inspiring treasures: the rocky fortress town of Ronda,
gracious Granada, scented Seville and crafted Cordoba.
