Coast of the Sun - The name says it all: Costa del Sol translates as Coast of the Sun. With a Costa del Sol property, you have a guarantee of heat and a great lifestyle. The Costa del Sol lies in southern Spain along the Mediterranean coast. There's a cosmopolitan city, Mlaga, and plenty of resort towns such as Torremolinos, Marbella and Torrox. Beaches - These towns have developed in the last fifty years to cater for the Costa del Sol's many visitors. One of the main attractions, apart from the sun, is the number and quality of the beaches. One of the delights of owning a Costa del Sol property is the chance to explore these beaches and to relax on them. Among the most well-known are those at Puerto Banus. The Artola Beach, near the Cabopino Leisure Port, is particularly good. If you're in the area, you should also try the Rio Verde Beach where there are lots of water sports. Other beaches worth visiting include Playa El Cristo at Estepone and Calahonda at Mijas. Calahonda stretches for more than 4 kilometres. It's a great place for a stroll along the water's edge. Food - A further benefit of having a Costa del Sol property is the range and quality of the places to eat. Whatever you want, you'll find it. At the traditional Spanish restaurants, you'll eat local produce. And since you're on the Mediterranean, this often means seafood. Griddled and fried fish are always popular. Chefs also place fish on espetos (bamboo spits) and arrange these over fires of almond and olive wood. The type of fish available depends on the season, but expect to have sardines, sargo and sea bass among others. Malaga - Yet another advantage to the Costa del Sol is the city of Mlaga. Here there really is something for everyone. History buffs can visit Roman remains and medieval buildings that are still standing after a thousand years. Sports fans can watch professional football and basketball. And if you like shopping, you can use international chains or one-off shops that have been in the same family for generations. A Costa del Sol property is therefore an ideal holiday home. And if you choose to live here all year round, you'll have everything you need within easy reach - including one of the best climates in Europe.
