There is a fascinating range of sights to be experienced including the traditional mountain villages such as Mijas and Ronda, one of the oldest towns in Spain. The Costa del Sol is a sportslover's paradise with 20 golf courses, 300 tennis courts, several marinas and a variety of watersports, including windsurfing and scuba-diving.

More Information
With over 320 days of sunshine a year, the Costa del Sol is an extremely popular holiday destination and deservedly so! With great beaches, a range of excellent sports on land and sea plus plenty of opportunity for sightseeing, it really does offer something for everyone. Over the years, tiny fishing villages have been transformed into smart new resorts which offer every attraction. Travel inland, however, and you'll find a more traditional world with Andalucian white-washed villages and the fabulous cities of Seville, Granada and Ronda.
