Costa del Sol – An Island of Traditions and Beautiful Landscapes

Andalusia is the largest of Spain’s 17 autonomous communities. Its area is larger than that of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Andalusia is often referred to as a bridge between two continents and a gateway to Europe. The struggle for Andalusia’s fertile lands and its strategic location lasted for more than a century, with one group of claimants replacing another.

Andalusia takes pride in its historical and cultural landmarks. It is in this region of Spain that the world-famous flamenco dances and bullfights originated. The influence of the Moors is still evident in its architecture, traditions, way of life, and cuisine. A trip to Andalusia is a great opportunity to enjoy its mountains, explore magnificent cities such as Seville, Granada, Córdoba, and Ronda, and relax at one of the many resorts on the Costa del Sol. The Costa del Sol (which translates from Spanish as “Sunny Coast”) is located on the southern Mediterranean coast of Andalusia, and attracts vacationers with its natural beauty, well-developed tourism infrastructure, Blue Flag beaches, and vibrant nightlife. The average number of sunny days per year is 320. Sandy beaches, snow-capped mountain peaks, the picturesque valleys of the Guadalquivir River, and forests—all of this enchants resort guests. World-famous resorts such as Marbella, Torremolinos, Benalmadena, and Fuengirola are located here, where you can find hotels of various categories, private villas, as well as shopping and entertainment centers. From late evening until morning, bars, nightclubs, and casinos offer a vibrant nightlife. While vacationing on the Costa del Sol, you can not only enjoy the sun, sandy beaches, and the Mediterranean Sea, but also take day trips to Morocco, Granada (where you can visit the famous Alhambra), Seville, Córdoba, Toledo, Madrid, and Gibraltar. Picasso enthusiasts will have the opportunity to view the artist’s works in his homeland, the Costa del Sol. To fully experience the charm of Andalusia, relax and take your time. Sip a glass of Spanish wine while lounging in the afternoon shade, without worrying about museums or shops being closed during siesta time. Don’t wait for local restaurants to open at 10:00 p.m.; instead, stop by a few bars until you find one whose menu and atmosphere appeal to you the most. Enjoy a late dinner once the day’s heat has subsided, and take your time as the day draws to a close.
