Costa del Sol literally translates as “Sunny Coast.” With a name like that, it’s naturally one of Europe’s most popular tourist attractions because of its gorgeous beaches.
Costa del Sol is located in the south of Spain along the Mediterranean coastline. It was once made up of several small fishing towns. Toward the end of the 20th century it was discovered as a prime vacationing spot and is now an urban area of high rises and resorts. It has a reputation for drawing the attentions of the rich and famous.
Recently, Costa del Sol has become renowned for its fifty or more high-quality golf courses. In fact, golf enthusiasts have dubbed it “Costa del Golf.” It attracts golfers from all over the world…
Costa del Sol is not a city itself. It is made up of several cities, such as Malaga, Granada, Cordoba, Seville, Almeria, and Marbella. Malaga is well known for having a large airport, so it is often the place tourists see first.
Although Costa del Sol has a number of resorts, there are also less expensive holiday accommodation options for tourists, including hotels, and apartments.

Costa del Sol is the perfect place for a warm beach vacation. However, because it is extremely popular, you can expect to pay a bit more for your accommodations. That said, if you begin your search early, you may find accommodations at discounted rates in certain areas or at some times of the year.

REgarding your reference to Hotel Los Castanos above (Los Castanos Hotel Ronda: This hotel offers stylish, comfortable accommodations in a quiet area close to all the activity, shops, and restaurants of Ronda) please note that we are NOT close to the activity, shops etc of Ronda. We are 17 km from Ronda in a village called Cartajima. Thanks for correcting this!
Diana…
Thanks for pointing this out, I hope the correction is to your liking! I assume the story got ’stylish and comfortable’ right?
Thanks again,
