Not surprising then that it is blessed with over 300 days of sunshine every year!

Its unrivalled climate and its enormous variety of warm beaches and wonderful scenery make it the perfect place to enjoy your holiday.

Places to see and people to meet

The Costa del Sol encompasses warm seas, blue flag beaches, championship golf courses, tapas bars to haute cuisine, informal beach bars to glitzy nightspots, street markets to designer shops, and lively towns to quiet fishing villages.
