Costa del Sol

The name Costa del Sol means “Sun Coast,” which explains pretty much everything you need to know about this popular region in southern Spain. It encompasses several dozen towns and some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe. There’s a lot of territory to cover, but it affords you the opportunity to take advantage of everything from golfing in Andalucia to spelunking in Nerja to museum-hopping in Málaga. And don’t forget those beaches.
