Costa del Sol

With 320 days of sun a year, the Costa del Sol has more than earned its name. In southern Spain it runs 160 kilometres along the Andalusian Mediterranean coast from Estepona in the west to the popular seaside resort of Nerja in eastern Andalusia. The capital of the sunny coast is Málaga, which is a real magnet for visitors with its magnificent churches and the over 600 year old bullring. In search of hiking adventures you will find the mighty Sierra Almijara Mountains.
