Once known as a quiet fishing region, Costa del Sol is now one of Spains most vibrant and busiest tourist destinations.

It stretches along just over 150 kilometres of Malaga and literally translates to Coast of the Sun. This includes the city of Malaga, and some of the famous towns such as Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella and Puerto Banas.

With its almost perfect year round climate, some vacationers have made this Spanish region their home.

The Costa del Sol provides its visitors with a bevy of attractions. Families will enjoy Costa del Sols biggest amusement park, Tivoli World in Arroyo da le Miel along with the Aqualand aqua park in Torremolinos.

The Costa del Sol also boasts one of the highest concentrations of world-class golf courses (mostly in Malaga, Spain) to the extent that it is often dubbed "The Costa del Golf." Costa del Sol nights come alive in Benalmadena with a wide range of bars, discos and clubs in Puerto Marina, the 24-hour party square and the newly built Solimar Plaza.

Even though the fabulous backdrop of Costa del Sol caters to its foreign tourists, it is still reflects what is adorable about Spain. Across the region, you will find Flamenco shows, bull fighting, sweet wine and tapas restaurants. Aside from that, colorful festivals of each town such as the awaited Marabella fair and the Malaga Fair (Feria de Malaga) become a street display of Spanish culture and history.

This simple fishing settlement truly emerged into a sizzling hotspot that promises to take you away for the holidays.
