El Torcal Natural Area<\/h2>\n

The imaginative rock formations are very impressive, which makes the Costa del Sol\u00a0the most characteristic landscape<\/strong>of Europe. Every part is special because of the erosion made by the rain and the wind. Our strongest recommendation is to visit the Torcal Alto. There, you\u2019ll be rewarded with beautiful sights of Malaga\u2019s province and, sometimes, even of the African coast. Do you want to stretch your legs? Follow the \u201cgreen route\u201d and admire the local fauna and all kinds of vegetation.<\/p>\n

\n

Benalm\u00e1dena<\/h2>\n

In Benalm\u00e1dena, there\u2019s a\u00a0typical Andalusian cheerful atmosphere<\/strong>. In Benalm\u00e1dena Pueblo, there\u2019s an enormous and impressive castle. \u201cCastillo de Colomares<\/strong>\u201d has an exotic fairy tale look and gives the impression to be really old. But appearances are deceptive. This fairy tale castle was built in 1994 as a memorial to Columbus.
\nThe harbour\u2019s area is the ideal place for people who enjoy\u00a0shopping<\/strong>\u00a0or going to\u00a0restaurants with a high standard.<\/strong>Combine Benalm\u00e1dena with Fuengirola. You\u2019ll find daily boats and ferries (many times a day).<\/p>\n

Fuengirola<\/h2>\n

Animal lovers, come to the\u00a0Biopark<\/strong>, which is in the middle of Fuengirola. In the authentic Moorish castle\u00a0\u201cSohail\u201d<\/strong>, you\u2019ll get into a medieval atmosphere, especially when actors in original clothing play live performances. Also the kilometres long shopping streets and shopping centres are a true pleasure to fanatic shoppers.<\/p>\n

Marbella<\/h2>\n

The heart of the Costa del Sol is the\u00a0bobo\u2019s world<\/strong>. From the centre of Marbella till Puerto Banus, you\u2019ll find \u201cglitter and glamour\u201d everywhere.\u00a0The Golden Mile<\/strong>\u00a0is the Broadway of\u00a0luxury houses<\/strong>. Before Marbella became famous because of its jet set and yacht harbours, it was a calm and rural village. The rural area of Marbella proves this. There, you\u2019ll find the Moorish defensive walls, small houses at the\u00a0Plaza de los Naranjos<\/strong>and a maze of small alleys. Dal\u00ed lovers, you\u2019ll certainly have to visit the Avenida del Mar, between the park Almeda and the boulevard, because there are several Dal\u00ed paintings there.<\/p>\n

Mijas<\/h2>\n

This picturesque white village on the Costa del Sol is formed by 5 city centres: Mijas Pueblo, las Lagunas, la Cala, Riviera and Calahonda. In Mijas Pueblo, it\u2019s as if the time had stopped. And if you want to experience a unique moment in your holiday take the\u00a0donkey taxi!<\/strong>
\nMijas has also\u00a0innovative and luxurious golf<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0spa resorts<\/strong>\u00a0and one of them, by the way, is the biggest golf resort of Europe, \u201cLa Cala Golf<\/strong>\u201d.
\nThere are so many high lights to visit. The\u00a0Ermita de la Virgen de la Pe\u00f1a<\/strong>, a chapel made on the rocks, where there\u2019s a museum of the locals history. The bull fighting arena, which is not as beautiful and big as the one in Ronda, but has\u00a0amazing sights<\/strong>\u00a0of Mijas. And, finally, you\u2019ll find another\u00a0beautiful view<\/strong>\u00a0from the watch tower\u00a0Torre\u00f3n de la Cala.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nerja<\/h2>\n

The most centric point of Nerja is not a square or a church, but an emerging rock on the coast. The famous world-over\u00a0Balcony of Europe<\/strong>\u00a0is at the end of the promenade. You\u2019ll be surrounded by palm trees, a\u00a0mountainious landscape<\/strong>\u00a0behind you and the cliffs and bays. After having a moment to take pictures, you can walk back to the cheerful and small streets. Finally, you can pass through the\u00a0Cuevas de Nerja<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Pago del Castillo Alto.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Torremolinos<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s thanks to the Moorish tower,\u00a0Torre de Molinos,<\/strong>\u00a0from the 14th century, that Torremolinos is on the map today. This place is nowadays very touristic. Next to the 6 km long beach, at the boulevard, you\u2019ll find many bars, snack bars, restaurants and shops. Attention if you like eating fish! At the fisher\u2019s quarters,\u00a0Carihuela<\/strong>, there are many fish restaurants where you can hang out during the evening. At the Plaza de la Gamba Alegre, you\u2019ll find a tattoo museum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Historical and charming places on the Costa del Sol<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Costa del Sol<\/strong>\u00a0has many typical and still\u00a0virginal villages<\/strong>, just as many cities that also have preserved their purity. It\u2019s very joyful to see the different historical influences in Antequera, Estepona, Granada, M\u00e1laga, Ronda and Torrox.<\/p>\n

\n

Antequera<\/h2>\n

In this area of the Costa del Sol, you\u2019ll find many chapters of history preserved. Antequera will impress you with its\u00a0beautiful baroque architecture<\/strong>, the rest of the Moorish defence walls and towers. Just outside the village, there are three dolmens, megaliths and the rock of love,\u00a0\u201cPe\u00f1a de los Enamorados\u201d.<\/strong>The legend is, by the way, less romantic as it sounds.<\/p>\n

Estepona<\/h2>\n

Estepona has, since the 2nd half of the 20th century, massively grown in tourism. Nevertheless, the old village centre has remained unaffected and the fishing auction at the harbour has been preserved. An important historical heritage is the 18th century church\u00a0\u201cla Virgen de los Remedios<\/strong>\u201d. Just as the 15th century \u201cTorre del Reloj<\/strong>\u201d, which was completely restored during the 19th century. The old bull fighting arena of Estepona is brilliant. Meanwhile, the bull fighting and matadors have stopped in this arena, but there\u2019s a museum of it in front of the town council.<\/p>\n

Granada<\/h2>\n

The Moorish student city, together with its\u00a0Alhambra<\/strong>, is a very\u00a0fascinating holiday destination.<\/strong>\u00a0The originally Jewish village was, from the 11th century till 1492, occupied by the Arabs. You\u2019ll find remains of this in the Barrio de Albayzin. The Catholicism is represented by Granada\u2019s 16th century cathedral and its jewel the \u201cCapilla Real\u201d<\/strong>. You\u2019ll also find the graves of the King Fernando and the Queen Isabel, next to the ones from the King Felipe and the Queen Juana.<\/p>\n

M\u00e1laga<\/h2>\n

The impressive M\u00e1laga \u2014the capital of the province named the same on the Costa del Sol\u2014 is the place of birth of one of the most influential painters of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso. M\u00e1laga is also very popular because it\u2019s one of the\u00a0most important cities with harbour<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0Spain<\/a>. Besides this, M\u00e1laga is a modern Mediterranean city that welcomes tourism and it\u2019s an unlimited inspiration source. From the Plaza de la Marina, you can walk from the Calle Larios till the Plaza de la Constituci\u00f3n. This car-free street is decorated with flowers and plants,\u00a0elegant street lights<\/strong>\u00a0and all kinds of\u00a0artistic objects.<\/strong>\u00a0In the alleyways, you\u2019ll find many shops and places to eat, like for example typical Spanish tapas bars. M\u00e1laga\u2019s cathedral and fort are absolutely worth a visit. The cathedral was built on the base of the Mezquita Aljama. Because the building lasted more or less two centuries, you\u2019ll see many different construction styles on it. Spain has suffered many wars during its history. At the foot of the Gibralfaro hill, there\u2019s a 11th Moorish fort called Acazaba. Above it, there\u2019s a beautifully designed garden and the museum of the\u00a0Gibralfaro castle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Take a well filled wallet and make sure that you have enough space in your suitcase because it\u2019s shopping time! There are so many clothes, accessories and shoes shops. Start at the Calle Marqu\u00e9s de Larios. Haven\u2019t you found what you\u2019re looking for? Don\u2019t worry, the shopping centre and the\u00a0big department stores<\/strong>\u00a0offer you a wide choice.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Costa del Sol<\/strong>\u00a0is like a very big open air museum. Some of the\u00a0most interesting museums<\/strong>\u00a0of the Costa del Sol are:
\nCAC M\u00e1laga<\/strong> (Centro de Arte Contempor\u00e1neo de M\u00e1laga): architectural museum.
\nM\u00e1laga CF<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 La Rosaleda: football stadium and museum.
\nCarmen Thyssen Bornemisza<\/strong>: art museum
\nMuseo Picasso M\u00e1laga<\/strong>: art museum
\nMuseo del Grabado Espa\u00f1ol Contempor\u00e1neo<\/strong>: art works from T\u00e0pies, Mir\u00f3, Picasso, Chillida and library.
\nMuseo del Vino M\u00e1laga<\/strong>: Wine museum.<\/p>\n

Ronda<\/h2>\n

The most important highlights<\/strong>\u00a0of the Costa del Sol in Ronda are the bull fighting arena and the\u00a0Puente Nuevo<\/strong>. Ronda\u2019s bull fighting arena is one of the oldest in\u00a0Spain\u00a0<\/a>that\u2019s still work. This architectural arena is used as background decoration during the festivities (in the first week of September). The R\u00edo Guadalev\u00edn divides Ronda in two parts. You\u2019ll find three bridges that connect the Moorish village\u00a0\u201cLa Ciudad\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0with the new area called \u201cEl Mercadillo\u201d<\/strong>. When we say the second area is new, it\u2019s quite relative because it has existed since the 16th century. Ronda has also been a victim of the Arabs and bandits. The result of this is the 13th century Arabic baths at the Puente \u00c1rabe and the Museo del Bandolero. A century later, the\u00a0Palacio de Mondrag\u00f3n\u00a0<\/strong>was built, which nowadays you\u2019ll find as the history museum of Ronda.<\/p>\n

Torrox<\/h2>\n

The best climate<\/strong>\u00a0in Europe is, as they say, in Torrox. Experience it by yourself when you lie on its beach, when you have a walk along the wide boulevard of Torrox Costa or when you visiti Torrox Pueblo. The village centre area is very cheerful and interesting thanks to its 16th century\u00a0Iglesia de la Encaranci\u00f3n<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Ermita de Nuestras Se\u00f1oras de las Nieves<\/strong>, which was founded by monks in the 18th century.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
