With one of the best coastlines in Spain, Costa del Sol is the place you need to be if you’re looking for miles of golden beach, plenty of sun and fun for everyone. Year after year, the Costa Del Sol remains a staple holiday destination for people looking to escape to the sunshine: from families looking for two weeks of summer sun to couples looking for a long weekend, laid back lifestyle and of course, the sun. For groups, the many resorts such as Torremolinos, Benalmadena & Fuengirola cater for all kinds of interests from busy beaches dedicated to water sports to towns that offer entertainment throughout the night.
