Is Costa del Sol right for you?

The Costa del Sol stretches along southern Spain and offers everything from busy beach resorts to quieter old towns. Málaga airport is well connected, but resort atmosphere and transfer time differ along the coast.

When to go

Summer is hot and busy, while late spring and early autumn can combine beach weather with easier sightseeing. Outside the main season, check pool opening and local entertainment dates.
