del Sol properties page.
The Costa del Sol covers just over 150 kilometres
of the Málaga province and is without a doubt, one
of the most popular tourist destinations in Spain. Its mild
climate is the root attraction that makes it possible to enjoy
the beaches and a wide variety of outdoor activities all year
round.
To the east, is the the 54 kilometre stretch
of coast from Malaga city. Although highly developed from
a property point of view, it is not anything like the property
development on the western Costa del Sol.
Eastwards from Malaga is the area of Nerja,
which is the most important urban centre on this end of the
coast. Much of the eastern Costa del Sol's accommodation for
tourists is found in Nerja, which is surrounded by tourist
pueblos. This town also has one of this area's main tourist
attractions - the Nerja Caves, a spectacular find that is
open to the public and that hosts an annual music and dance
festival within its famous caverns. At the foot of Nerja town
a winding footpath joins several coves and there are some
nice beaches to be found in this area.
The western Costa del Sol is comrpised of
100km of coastline, which begins at Malaga city and stretches
all the way to the edge of the province of Cádiz. This
part of the coast is highly developed in terms of both property
and infrastructure, and attracts an important percentage of
Spain's international tourism. Communications revolve around
Malaga International Airport and the N340 backbone coastal
highway.
Towns within the Costa del Sol include Sotogrande,
Estepona, Guadalmina, San Pedro de Alcantara, Puerto Banus/Nueva
Andalucia, Marbella, Calahonda,
Fuengirola, Mijas, Benalmadena, Torremolinos, Málaga
and Nerja.
