WHY VISIT COSTA DEL SOL?
So much to see, so much to do
From Málaga to Marbella, Nerja, Torremolinos, Benalmadena, and more – there’s so much to explore! The towns, cities and villages are all within driving distance of each other, making sightseeing easy and convenient. For adventure-seekers, there are plenty of hiking, water sports and boat trips on offer.
If you want to relax and unwind, take some time out to enjoy one of the many golden-sand beaches and golf courses.
Delicious cuisine
With so many restaurants to choose from and delicious, traditional local gastronomy, there’s something to suit all tastebuds. Sample classic Mediterranean dishes including espetos, tapas, paella, and gazpacho. Top it off with a glass of sangria too!
With sunshine and warm weather from spring through to autumn, dine alfresco and watch the world go by.
Charming culture
Costa del Sol’s capital is the beautiful city of Málaga. The birthplace of Pablo Picasso and home to The Museo Picasso, the city is steeped in history, art and culture. Journey through time and explore gothic architecture, castles, Roman theatres, and cathedrals.
In the town of Nerja, tour ancient murals, churches, beaches and cliffside views.
Meet Alvaro, RCI guide for Costa del Sol.
“I’d highly recommend sampling espetos, (grilled sardines), one of the simplest dishes of Costa del Sol’s local gastronomy. Perfect with a glass of cold wine or beer!
A day trip to Caminito del Rey is an adventurous hike with beautiful views through cliffs, canyons, and valleys.
I’d also recommend a trip to the historical town of Ronda, a favourite for travellers including Ernest Hemmingway and Orson Welles. Also, the small town of Frigiliana - one of the prettiest in the Málaga province with a well-conserved historical centre. In Málaga, you won’t want to miss the amazing food market: Mercado de Atarazanas.”
INSIDER TIPS
Málaga is a popular choice and is also close to many RCI resorts. There are plenty of festivals, exhibitions, and cultural sights to keep you entertained. You can also hire a car and explore the nearby towns and cities.
Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is the third largest airport in Spain, offering international flights. There are also the smaller airports of Seville, Jerez, Almería and Gibraltar. Be sure to do your research on public transport options for bus and shuttle services, or you can rent a car if you prefer the flexibility of getting around on your own.
With a Mediterranean climate, Costa del Sol has four seasons, but you can enjoy mild autumn and winter temperatures, plus these are quieter times of the year to visit. Sun-seekers can bask in year-round sunshine, as the region benefits from approximately 300 days of sunshine a year!
