Costa del Sol
The densely populated coast of Andalusia, stretching from Almeria to Tarifa, is
Europe's all-year-round favoured holiday destination, known as the Costa del Sol.
It consists of a string of fine sandy beaches, where the average water temperature
is 64°F (18°C), and picturesque towns have abundant tourist amenities, resorts
and high-rise hotels. Attractions include zoos, bullfights, water parks, casinos
and amusement parks. Marbella is the Costa del Sol's quality resort - the restaurants
and bars are more stylish (and expensive). The old town is hidden away and retains
some of its medieval charm and has some good clothes shops and restaurants. The
exclusive Puerto Banus, six miles (10km) to the west, is where you will find the
casino and the seriously large yachts. Those visitors who drive just a few miles
inland to the villages in the hills around Ronda will discover a Spain completely
untouched by tourism, with village markets and tapas bars to be explored.
