Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol is a lovely strand of sand beaches and litoral cities or towns located in the South of Spain, in the province of Malaga, in Andalusia, Spain. The Costa del Sol is world-wide famous for its Mediterran climate and beaches, for the warm weather – sunny for 300 days a year – and for its health and tasty cuisine, based on olive oil, seafood and vegatables, among other things. Come and see a bit of this fantastic land!
