The beautiful town of Malaga is a great place to start. Flying in to Malaga places you at the heart of the Costa del Sol giving you easy access to all the neighbouring resorts that can be reached within an hour. The birthplace of Picasso has a lot to offer, why not visit the rustic old quarter and view the childhood home of the great artist himself. With its beautiful beaches and numerous tapas bars Malaga is certainly worth a visit. The attractive town of Nerja is a typical Spanish place to visit, situated to the east of Malaga. With a rustic old town, effervescent nightlife and protected bays around the rocky Balcon de Europa. The coastline that stretches west towards Gibraltar accommodates many lively beach towns, fashionable marina developments and immaculate golf courses, giving you plenty of choice for activities.

The vibrant resorts of Fuengirola and Benalmadena are the places to visit if you are seeking good value “fun in the sun” holidays. Fuengirola, with its broad sun kissed beaches, beautiful market place and colourful nightlife has something for all ages. At Benalmadena you will find six miles of coast strung with thirteen beaches offering great facilities and fantastic water sport activities for those that like to get wet. If it’s a taste of the customary Andalucía you are after, visit the charming town of Mijas. This picturesque little place is a typical example of the Moorish hill towns, with its whitewashed houses adorning the narrow cobbled streets. Beautiful bougainvillea bloom throughout the area, and the panoramic views across the neighbouring town of Mijas Costa are simply breathtaking.


The high class resorts of Marbella and Puerto Banus are divided by the “golden mile” of exclusive residences. Shopping here is a must for the jet set, with designer boutiques decorating the tree lined streets for your perusal, or why not grab a bite to eat at one of the charming restaurants in the stylish marina. The ancestral Andalucian ‘pueblo’ and ‘playa’ town of San Pedro de Alcantera is just a couple of kilometres away and a little further up the coast is the cultural fishing town of Estepona. This wonderful place has many narrow cobbled streets and has a truly Spanish feel, with bars and restaurants in abundance it truly is a beautiful place to visit. For a sample of Britain, why not cross the border into Gibraltar for a day’s sightseeing, tax free shopping and yes those cheeky monkeys, but don’t forget your passport!
