A very apt name, as it is the southernmost part of the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula and Europe. It stretches for 300 kilometers from the Strait of Gibraltar to the provincial capital, Málaga. The Costa del Sol is the quintessence of Spanish character and temperament, the generous soul of the most wonderful Spanish autonomous region, the pearl of the Spanish kingdom – Andalusia.
The Costa del Sol is a prestigious, fashionable vacation spot for respectable people, and one of the most comfortable regions to live in.
The coast is home to the sophisticated and fashionable resort of Marbella, which ranks alongside Monaco and Portofino. It is home to the residences of many world celebrities: members of royal families, prominent businessmen, politicians, famous artists, and members of the aristocracy.
Active holidaymakers have everything they need here: numerous beach clubs equipped with cafes and water sports, ideal conditions for surfers (the Atlantic Current allows for virtually non-stop surfing), a vibrant, action-packed nightlife, and colorful and lively Feirias (city festivals). Yacht clubs along the coast host regattas, and a sailboat ride along the blue sea is relaxing and re-energizing. Horseback riding enthusiasts can enjoy equestrian schools.
For those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle, there are secluded beaches where you can spend contemplative hours by the sea, and natural parks that impress with their pristine beauty. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a well-developed network of golf clubs. Those who appreciate history will delight in the coastal towns, rich in history and cultural heritage. During the winter, the flow of tourists continues unabated, as along with beach holidays, there are interesting excursion programs and the opportunity to spend time at the Sierra Nevada ski resort.
The climate is truly unique, as the Andalusian mountains protect the coast from sudden temperature fluctuations. The sun shines 320 days a year, and rain is rare. Summers are never swelteringly hot, thanks to the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean. The average air temperature in summer is 28-30°C, and the sea temperature is 26°C. Winters are not cold, as the mountains protect from the chilly winter winds. Temperatures never drop below 13°C, even in winter.
The most important advantage of the Costa del Sol is its ecology, since this region is traditionally considered agricultural; there are no industrial productions that pollute the environment. Along with this, the Costa del Sol is famous for its organic products, varied Mediterranean cuisine, and a large number of inexpensive cozy restaurants in traditional Spanish style. All beaches on the coast are marked with European Blue Flags.
Many people choose Andalusia for permanent comfortable living, since low prices compared to all-European prices are combined with a high quality of life, education and medical care.
Costa del Sol is the best place to relax and live!
