Spain's 'Coast of the Sun' lives up to its name entirely and beach-lovers frequent its shores year on year. But the discerning traveller will also head inland to discover the charming villages and national parks of this varied region.
Costa del Sol offers miles of beautiful coastline, where clear waters and gentle golden sands trace the southern Spanish coast.
Set in a province of outstanding natural beauty; explore spectacular Moorish palaces and jasmine-scented gardens or unwind on warm sandy shores.
This immensely popular destination boasts international resorts, quaint fishing harbours and whitewashed villages.
Tee off on a number of championship golf courses, take a stroll around luxury marinas or for the more active there are numerous sporting facilities and an excellent variety of restaurants and bars to discover.
