Malaga
Malaga is the stepping stone to the Costa del Sol. Relatively few visitors visit
the city as they rush from the airport to their holiday resort. In doing so they
miss a gem of a city with a fascinating old quarter next to a Roman theatre and
Moorish palace, a commercial centre with first class shopping and a vibrant
social life.

During the 1950s and 60s Torremolinos was converted from a
quaint fishing village into the Costa del Sol's original tourist resort.
Today it is a concrete jungle but with fine beaches and ample accommodation it
has plenty to offer.

Nerja
Nerja is the most easterly resort of the Costa del Sol
which still somehow maintains a reputation as a quaint village. This is no
longer the case as the inevitable tourist developments have transformed the town
into a thriving resort but without the high rise excesses of the western Costa
del Sol.Useful Links: Nerja Hotels |
