What the Costa del Sol is
The Costa del Sol is the coastline of the province of Málaga, in Andalusia. It runs from Manilva in the west to Nerja in the east and links large cities such as Málaga and Marbella with resort towns such as Fuengirola, Torremolinos and Benalmádena. Málaga Airport sits in the middle of the coast, and the Mediterranean motorway runs from one end to the other.
Towns and what to look for
- Fuengirola: a compact centre by the sea, plenty of bars and a large international community. It is where PulseCosta has the most atmosphere data.
- Málaga: the provincial capital, with a historic centre, museums, the port and the widest cultural programme.
- Marbella: the old town, Puerto Banús and the seafront.
- Torremolinos and Benalmádena: beaches, promenade, Puerto Marina and nightlife.
