Top Reasons to Go

Enjoy the sun and sand: Relax at any of the beaches; they're all free, though in summer there isn't much towel space.

Soak up the atmosphere: Spend a day in Málaga, Picasso’s birthplace, visiting the museums, exploring the old town, and strolling the Palm Walkway in the port.

Check out Puerto Banús: Wine, dine, and celebrity-watch at the Costa del Sol's most luxurious and sophisticated port town.

Visit Cabo de Gata: This protected natural reserve is one of the wildest and most beautiful stretches of coast in Spain.

Shop for souvenirs: Check out the weekly market in one of the Costa resorts to pick up bargain-price souvenirs, including ceramics.
