The Costa del Sol is highly developed from the point of view of international tourism and is the favorite destination for many Europeans visiting Spain. The abundance of facilities, the wonderful climate and the hospitality of the people make the Costa del Sol absolutely ideal for lovers of leisure and entertainment. The most famous town is perhaps Marbella and one of the oldest towns being Ronda. Malaga Car Hire is amongst the cheapest in Europe!
The Costa de la Luz (Coast of light) is the western coast of the Andalucía coastline in Spain and faces out to the Atlantic Ocean. The typical beaches on the Costa de la Luz are more expansive and backed by sand dunes and pine trees. The sand is finer and more golden colour than the neighbouring Costa del Sol. The temperatures are slightly milder than the rest of Spain and the often strong Atlantic winds and waves are favoured in Tarifa by wind surfers and surfboarders alike. Cadiz and Sevilla are very ancient cities and Jerez de la Frontera is capital of the sherry world.
The Costa Tropical is not as well known as the neighbouring Costa del Sol to the west. The Costa Tropical of Granada province is particularly picturesque, less busy, and easier to get away from the crowds. Water sports and scuba diving are popular on the Costa Tropical, due to the variety of sea life and clear sea water in this part of Spain. The towns in this part of Spain that are becoming increasingly popular among foreign residents are, Salobreña the white village, pretty and unspoilt La Herradura and the attractive town of Almuñecar.
The Costa Almeria is completely unspoilt compared to other costas in Spain. Costa Almeria is sparsely populated, has few villages and a very low population density. Visitors to the Costa Almeria feel a sense of exploration as many of the coves can only be reached on foot. This area of Spain is particularly popular with nature lovers and back-packers. Two very old towns of particular note are, Garrucha "the city of prawns" and Almeria city which is crowned by the magnificent Arab fortress, Alcazaba.
The Costa Calida is located in the southeast corner of Spain. To the north lies the Costa Blanca and to the south lies the Costa de Almeria with a total of 250 kilometers of coastline. There are a great number of small traditional towns on the Costa Calida that are starting to become small intimate residential areas for people who look for a different way to spend time in the Sun in Spain. The most popular are the monumental towns of Cartagena and Torrevieja, both with amazing beaches and clear waters.
Costa Blanca or the White Coast has become a favourite spot amongst European holidaymakers. The Costa Blanca is where you can marvel at Moorish villages, wander through groves of olive trees or discover hidden coves. On the Costa Blanca you will find palm-fringed beaches, sparkling sea and masses of cafes and restaurants to satisfy your every craving. The biggest attractions on the Costa Blanca is the holiday cities of Benidorm, Valencia and Alicante, for parties, discos, festivals, castles and families.
The Costa Dorada is Spain's "Gold Coast". 20 towns extend along the coastline which stretches 216 kilometres. Costa Dorada sits in between the sea and the mountain range where wide areas are filled with peaceful towns, farmlands, vineyards, olive groves, hazel and almond trees grow. The inland areas of the Costa Dorada are a paradise for lovers of adventure sports. Tarragona is the main city on the Costa Dorada, then Vilanova and the magnificent beach in Castelldefels.
The Costa Brava is a 160-kilometre stretch of rugged coastline in the region of Catalonia. Much of the length of the Costa Brava is high-rise Spanish beachfront developments with excellent sandy beaches, unspoilt fishing villages, sheltered rocky coves and medieval towns with ancient castles.
