Málaga information: THE COSTA DEL SOL


Costa del Sol


The prestige of this area, which spreads across the coastlines of Malaga and Granada provinces, is due to three-hundred days of sunshine a year, and to that line of mountains which, particularly in Malaga, isolates the beaches from the north winds. The strip that enjoys most popular favour stretches from Malaga to Estepona.

MARBELLA is a town with highly agreeable temperature and environmental conditions in both summer and winter. The wild peaks of Sierra Blanca protect it from wind of all kinds, both hot and cold. The town has around twenty beaches, all well looked after and with excellent sand. There are also three yachting harbours: in Puerto Banus, Cabopi no and Marbella itself, with a mooring capacity of around two thousand. The beaches and the cosmopolitan ambience make Marbella one of Europe's most elitist social circles. Despite the extensive urban development that has taken place there, the old part of Marbella has maintained the flavour of a traditional Andalusian village, with narrow whitewashed streets and squares with low-rise buildings, such as the Plaza de los Naranjos, with the Town Hall and its pretty Mudejar entrance. Remains of Arab walls can also be seen. The Cristo Hermitage and Encarnación Church date from the sixteenth century.

TORREMOLINOS conserves La Carihuela, an old fishing village which, despite being surrounded by such massive urban development, has succeeded in maintaining its traditional appearance of low houses in line with the seafront that stretches along a lengthybeach with fine, well looked-after sand. The great speciality of this village is to be found in the perfection of its fried fish. Andalusia is a land with a natural mastery of cooking with olive oil, particularly for dishes involving fried food.
