Costa Del Sol

The Costa Del Sol, a fantastic strip of land, with boundaries of Mountains and the Mediterranean. Running for approximately 100 miles along Europe's most southern coast. You can see Africa and the snow on the mountains above Granada at the same time!

I really, passionately believe that there is something for everyone on the Costa del Sol. Many of our friends who have come to visit us since moving here have come back as they liked it so much....it really wasn't what they expected in a good way!

 

Costa del Sol

 

 

Depending on what you enjoy you could drive for 10 minutes inland and find typical white Andalucia Villages, visit designer shops in Puerto Banus, enjoy a meal mixed with the scent of orange blossom in Marbella Old Town, choose from 40 Golf courses on the Costa Del Sol, enjoy 320 days of sun, sit on the beaches, walk in the mountains, ski on the lakes,visit a children's theme park, go to a flea or street market.

Please take time to plan your break, visit Marbella Old Town, Estepona, Ojen, Istan. The wonderful town of Ronda, Granada is only 2 hours away. Malaga itself is a beautiful City, one of Europe's most underrated. Stroll around the Yachts and people watch in Puerto Banus or Benalmadena. Sit on a Costa Del Sol beach on a clear day, squinting to see if that really is Africa in the distance.

Or, why not do something really different and fly into Malaga, drive to Seville and onto the Algarve and then fly home from Faro Airport in Portugal. Make an effort, get as much Information about Malaga and the Costa Del Sol life as you can and you will be rewarded with a wonderful holiday, why do you think we have all moved here!

Most of the Costa Del Sol is less than an hours transfer from Malaga Airport and you can Fly here from 30 countries and 118 Airports. Flights to Spain are available from 23 UK Airports and across seven Low cost, no frills airlines alone. The number of flights to Malaga is why so many people are choosing to invest their hard earned money in Costa del Sol Property.

When friends of mine come to visit for the first time I give a little taste of everything, old Spain, modern Spain and holiday Spain. They have all left with a better impression of the Costa Del Sol than when they came.

For kids there are several Costa Del Sol Theme Parks, a water park and Zoo in Fuengirola, Selwo Safari Park in Estepona, Selwo Marina in Benalmadena, a Crocodile Park in Torremolinos, Tivoli World in Benalmadena, you can even visit the Andaluz Donkeys in Estepona on a sunday morning,and that's if you can drag them out of the Pool.

Or alternatively we have information on Plaza Mayor Leisure Park, just outside Malaga, the Miramar Center in Fuengirola, La Canada shopping, The Vialia Centre, Larios Centre and entertainment complex in Marbella, Marina Banus in Puerto Banus which also has Camelot Park amusement park on the roof and of course El Corte Ingles department store.

For those of you thinking of moving here with kids we are also building a Marbella Schools Section which will be full of information about schools and education, private and state in Marbella.

Casinos and Gambling are becoming more and more popular along the Costa Del Sol. So popular that there is even a Costa Del Sol Gambling Magazine called "The Smart Gambler". We have provided information on Puerto Banus Casino and the Casino at Torrequebrada Hotel in Benalmadena . We will soon be providing information other other Casinos and bookmakers.
