The climate on the Costa del Sol boasts over 300 days of sunshine and is ideal all year round - great for families wishing to enjoy a beachside holiday during the summer months and ideal for golfers at any time eager to experience the wonderful golf courses along the coast and inland in the region. It is also ideal for watersports enthusiasts with sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing etc. all on offer along the coast.

The white villages of San Roque, Casares and Manilva set high in the mountains are within a 15 minute drive and are well worth a visit. If you wish to go further a field Ronda, about an hour inland, is a must. For more information see www.andalucia.com/ronda/home.htm

Gibraltar, just 20 minutes drive away, has great duty free shopping and also the spectacular “rock” with views up and down the coast. For further information see www.andalucia.com/gibraltar/home.htm
