An Idyllic Holiday At Costa Del Sol

Costa del Sol has always been a favorite European holiday destination since 1960s; its amazing weather during the months of June to September attracts tourists by the droves to its white and sandy clean beaches. The calm blue Mediterranean is a haven to swim and bask in the sun safely and warmly.

And the night is always young and alive, no matter what time it is; there is always something to do at night. The nightlife is very lively with the clubs and bars opened till the wee hours with lots of restaurants to satisfy any growling stomach anytime of the day or night. The locals are friendly with a very low crime rate in the neighborhood.

The improved road works have encouraged more visitors to touch down at Malaga airport to Gibraltar, Jerez and Granada. Today’s tourists are opting for more flexibility in their holiday plan, shifting away from packaged tours to a free-and-easy holiday plan of their own itinerary. Tourists prefer to explore the lovely countryside on their own time and at their own pace than to be rushed through the scenic places.

Many prefer to enjoy the beach or the peace and quiet at their rented villa. For the more adventurous, there are the Wild Life Park and Marina attractions at Selwo. You can also opt for a more cultural holiday visiting Malaga’s Picasso Museum or Botanical Gardens.

Avid golfers would enjoy the various challenging and impressive turfs with different landscapes; mountainous or sea scenery surround the golf courses to inspire your swings and holes-in-one. In the evenings, one can check out the Racecourse in Mijas which opens during summer.

Many worldwide artistes hold top class performances and concerts to entertain the metropolitan guests and locals throughout the summer. Costa has had the privilege of hearing Sir Elton John, UB 40, Rod Stewart, and Bryan Adams. These are usually accompanied by top brass orchestras.

The Gibraltar at Costa del Sol is truly not to be missed; not only is it rich in history, it is beautifully set in its natural surroundings that take your breath away. A troop of wild monkeys has confirmed the beauty of this place by setting their home here. With the awesome St. Michael’s caves close by and tax free shopping, this is a place well worth a visit.

Costa del Sol is well known for its “sunshine, sea and sangria”; it offers more today with more and more developments to cater to the growing and changing demands of the tourists and locals.
