The Costa Del Sol in Spain is one of the most popular destinations with tourists and stretches over 150km. The main reason why this area of Spain is proving so popular with tourists is because it has such wonderful weather all year round.

This part of Spain is separated into two distinct areas both of which extend out east and west from the capital city of Malaga Province, Malaga City. On the eastern side you will find that the province stretches for 54km from the city of Malaga and heads towards Grenada.

Whereas the other 100km of the Malaga Province coastline stretches from Malaga city and ends up on the border with the Province of Cadiz. This is the part of the Costa del Sol where generally most tourists will go to when they stay in this part of the province.

The airport in Malaga is one of the busiest in the country and each year has more than 2 million visitors passing through its gates. These people will then head off to many of the resorts that stretch along the province's coastline the main ones being Nerja, Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Marbella.

Although many people come to spend time just relaxing on the wide open beaches that the Costa Del Sol has to offer. It is now becoming a very popular all year round destination for those who enjoy playing golf. Today the area has now more than 70 golf courses which can be played on and has earned the name of being the "Costa del Golf" as well.

As well as being able to play golf there are plenty of other activities to keep one amused whilst on holiday in the Costa del Sol. You could give sailing a try or scuba diving, plus there are dolphin safaris and treks into the countryside on horseback. Certainly by travelling further inland from the Costa del Sol coastline there are plenty of other exciting activities one can try.

If you are someone who has been rock climbing before the Province of Malaga offers a location called El Chorro. This is a very popular location in Spain with climbers from around the world and is especially popular with them during the winter months.

For those who would rather just relax and unwind then spending time in Marbella, Torremolinos and Benalmadena are great locations for doing this. You have the best of both worlds, great beaches and beautiful bars and restaurants to eat and drink in as well.

Although Malaga is very much a commercial city there are plenty of things for one to do and see whilst visiting it just for the day. There is the old port as well as the old quarter where you will find a Moorish Palace and a Roman theatre. This is also the home to the Picasso Museum as this is where the renowned artiste was born.

Certainly as you can see from above when it comes to the Costa Del Sol there is so much more to it than a beach holiday. As anyone will testify who has already been to this area of Spain it really is a wonderful vibrant place to visit.
