Exploring the Costa del Sol

The regional tourist industry has led to major development and caters to any and all holiday activity demands. But not too far from the major centres, opportunities abound for daytrips and visits to unspoiled mountains and fishing villages. These sorties give you the chance to take a deep breath, relax, and forget about the tourist crowds.

Estepona sits at the foot of Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja, and has a typical Andalucían character: whitewashed houses, balconies covered with a colourful array of flowerpots. The town boasts some beautiful architecture and has remains of hot-springs, most likely dating from the Roman occupation. The Selwo Wildlife Park is here and there are facilities for mountain and water sports.

435 meters above sea level, Casares is called the “hanging village”, clinging spectacularly to the side of a rocky gorge, overlooked by a castle. The houses are tall, set in picturesque, twisting and white walled, narrow streets. There are many interesting ruins to be found here and on a clear day there are spectacular views to Gibraltar.

Manilva is where the Costa del Sol and Campo de Gibraltar meet. The village stands between the Río Manilva and the Calataraje stream; the surrounding landscape consists of rolling hills rising gently up from the sea that are covered with vineyards, the main crop of which is the Muscatel grape that is harvested in September. The area is blessed with a mild climate, good wine, superb natural beauty, medicinal waters and historical architecture

So after skiing at Sierra Nevada Ski Resort, head back to the beach for dolphin watching in Costa Del Sol. The next day experience what the rest of Europe is talking about; golfing in Costa del Sol! Your holiday villa in Costa del Sol will not disappoint. The dazzling coastline alone will draw you in. Thank you for reading our Costa del Sol Tourist Information Guide.
