Stretching along the Malaga coastline, the Costa del Sol region of southern Spain is placed as one of the most popular tourist spots.
Blessed with typical Mediterranean weather with hot, dry summers and mild winters, this travel destination is a great choice for endless holiday activities and leisure time.
Each resort town – whether it is Marbella, Fuengirola, Benalmadena, Estepona or Torremolinos – has its own distinct character to allure holidaymakers across the globe to explore the beautiful natural setting and experience the fervency of travelling in this part of Spain.
Every year more than two million people arrive at Malaga airport and move to one of many resorts along the coast. Each resort town brings a wide variety of leisure and holiday activities, promising a perfect travel outing.
Starting from the sunny coast to the spectacular countryside, Costa del Sol is certainly the most happening place in terms of activities as you will find numerous things to do while on tour. With 300 days of sunshine, it is very much understandable to try various outdoor activities year round.
Summer activities on the Costa del Sol
The summer months are all for fun; there are plenty of options to suit all ages. Starting from horse riding, sunbathing, cultural sightseeing or a guided tour to some inland towns, you will find everything on your way that is relaxing with the ultimate Andalusian character.
For the adventure enthusiast, Costa del Sol is an ultimate paradise with every kind of watersport such as sailing boat charter, scuba diving, sphereing and zorbing, paddle surfing, ray boarding, parasailing, deep sea fishing among others.
The coast is well developed with a good sporting infrastructure that even makes it an interesting sporting venue for various sports including golf and tennis. Golf courses in Marbella, Malaga and other Costa del Sol resorts boast some of the highest standard courses for a special golfing vacation.
Costa del Sol Eco tours
For nature lovers, Andalucia and particularly the Costa del Sol region has a lot on offer. Whether it’s a bike tour from Malaga, a visit to the Fuengirola Zoo, Caves at Nerja, those old villages, or a daylong cycling and bike ride offers an exceptional way to discover some fascinating sights through pedestrian walkways and narrow lanes.
Besides, a jeep safari to the wonderful rugged countryside and a daytrip to the El Torcal de Antequera – natural reserve located in the Sierra del Torcal mountain range – constitute other options for Costa del Sol eco tours.
Even mountain biking, hiking and trekking activities not only bring adventure and serve as an escape route from the crowded coastline; these, too, contribute to a wonderful nature tour with wealth of flora and fauna.
Excursions from the Coast
Away from the coast you have a number of travel destinations for an excursion or daytrip. From any beach resort of Costa del Sol, a full day tour to some of the nearest inland towns such as Ronda, Seville, Cordoba, Mijas Pueblo, or Granada and even to Tangier (Morocco) is just worth of your time.
In fact, there is so much on offer to count those in a limited travel expedition. However, it’s up to you to organise everything in advance and according to your interest in order to make your Costa del Sol tour lively and full of activities that you will cherish forever.
