Of all the tourists destinations one can go to in Spain the most popular of them all is the Costa Del Sol which stretches along the Spanish coastline for more than 150km. The biggest reason for this particular area of Spain being so popular with tourists is that it offers good weather to them all year round.



This area of Spain is divided up into two distinct areas one being the Eastern part and the other being the Western. The eastern part of this region is made up of a 54km stretch of the coastline and stretches from the east of Malaga city which is also the capital of the Province.

Whilst the other 100 km of coastline which runs from the west of Malaga city and stretches all the way to the border with the Province of Cadiz. It is this part of the coastline which has been developed and where most of the tourists coming to the region will stay.

The main airport that provides people with easy access to the resorts in Malaga province is the international airport at Malaga and which annually has more than 2 million passengers passing through its gates each year. The main resorts that many of these people will then head for are Marbella, Fuengirola, Benalmadena, Torremolinos and Nerja.

Many people visit the Costa del Sol for spending time sitting on the beach and getting a sun tan, but it has plenty more to offer those who visit the area. This area of Spain has now become popular with golfers as they are able to play their favorite sport here all year round. Today Malaga Province has more than 70 good quality golf courses for players of all handicaps to enjoy and is now becoming known as the "Costa del Golf" as well.

But along with the golf there are plenty more activities one can enjoy from sailing, to scuba diving, to dolphin safaris and horse riding. Certainly if you want a little more excitement then a visit to some of the areas further inland should be considered.

If you are someone who has been rock climbing before the Province of Malaga offers a location called El Chorro. This is a very popular location in Spain with climbers from around the world and is especially popular with them during the winter months.

However, if you would rather just sit back and relax and watch the world go by then a visit to Marbella, Torremolinos and Benalmadena should be considered. Here you can spend time on its beautiful beaches soaking up a few rays of the sun or wander into one of its many delightful beach side bars or restaurants.

Although Malaga is very much a commercial city there are plenty of things for one to do and see whilst visiting it just for the day. There is the old port as well as the old quarter where you will find a Moorish Palace and a Roman theatre. This is also the home to the Picasso Museum as this is where the renowned artiste was born.

As you can see from above there is far more for one to do and see when holidaying on the Costa del Sol. Certainly if you want a fun filled holiday then this is a destination worth considering.
