Costa Del Sol Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Colomares Monument

#thingstodo A place I've been wanting to visit for so long.. And my expectations were proven. At the entrance you can buy a ticket which costs 3 euro ( in my opinion its cheap ,usually entrances in Spain are 5+ euro),the lady asks where are you from and next she gives you a printed paper with information about the place in your language. I've been genuinely surprised by this in a good way . Totally loved it. And then you enter and everything is just stunning.. if you like castle architecture or you just want to do some nice pictures I highly recommend 👌 There are free toilets and a coffee bar also Such a beautiful, fairytale castle which renders such beautiful views of the coastline as well as castle looks so cute as backdrop in pics. Even entrance ticket are pretty reasonable. Highly recommend to visit this one Very nice place not far away from main road. Theres nice ocen view amd a lot of small towers and hidden places - children love it. Entrance fee is low and you get a paper (many languages) about this place.

Colomares Castle - SPAIN

In the city of Benalmádena, you’ll find the Colomares Castle (Castillo de Colomares), which was built as a memorial to Christopher Columbus and the discovery of the Americas. Esteban Martin, who started working on the project in 1987 with two bricklayers and placed the last stone seven years later, had the same goal in mind. The Doctor was misunderstood for over 15 years and treated like a madman because of it, forcing him to fight the building like Don Quixote. He spent practically all of his wealth on this monument The Castillo Colomares towers above the surrounding vegetation and blends in nicely with the other structures, making it difficult to see from a distance. You’ll soon realize that it’s not a castle at all but rather a memorial to Christopher Columbus. Included in the show are three ships and the world’s tiniest church inside the walls. This is what is impressive about visiting this old building. The construction of Castillo de Colomares lasted a long time and was influenced by a number of architectural eras. You may learn about the three religions that existed in medieval Spain (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) and about Christopher Columbus’s journey by taking a tour of the Colomares Castle. #placetosee #stunningbeach #beachparty #beachlovers #topbeach #placetovisit #bestbeach #travel #perfectbeach #localescapes #helloautumn #beachvacation #hotelstaycation A visit to this castle costs around EUR 2.50 for adults and EUR 2.00 for kids.

The marina of Puerto Banus, Andalucia, Spain is the yacht club of Europe. Every summer thousands of rich people stop here to explore the nightlife of Spain and also to enjoy the best beaches in the area.

Unfiltered view of global islands_ Spain's Gold Coast

This time, feel 🎈Spain's Gold Coast Spain's Gold Coast is not specifically referring to a certain place, it is the entire coastal route of Spain. My second base camp is in Marbella, so I always radiate from Marbella to both sides. ❣️Let's talk about Marbella first, this small city has a unique climate because it is by the sea but also has the Shell Mountain, it is not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer, so it is the backyard of the whole Europe, and it has a high status in the minds of Europeans. Banus port is one of the top ten ports in the world, a gathering place for top tycoons. If you are still struggling for supercars, you are weak, because the annual berth fee for private yachts here is worth several supercars. Luxury stores line the streets, and if you are a VIP, you can go to the VIP room to watch the sea and drink champagne. Michelin restaurants are also in the Golden Hundred Acres, and there are more delicious restaurants, bars, and Tapas gathered. This is also a paradise for world-class golf enthusiasts, top event venues, a small city with 42 perfect golf courses. Even if you don't play golf, it's a good choice to go for a meal. ❣️Centered on Marbella, self-driving tour on one side is Mijas white mountain city, also by the sea, all buildings are white, very aesthetic, riding a donkey, drinking coffee and eating delicious food is too comfortable. ❣️Malaga is the capital of Andalusia, the Picasso Museum is a must-visit, and many seafood restaurants along the coast are not bad. ❣️The highlight of Nerja is the Balcon De Europa, the European balcony, there are many hotels and restaurants on the cliff, any place is a beautiful view. The traditional giant plate of Paella cooked by the sea is especially delicious, and you can eat as much as you want for free. ❣️If you drive to the other side, you can go to the City of Sky Ronda to eat a cow tail, go to Jerez winery to see the vineyard and taste sherry, and then watch a royal horse dance performance. Finally, you can reach Barcelona or even drive to France, depending on your mood. The entire Gold Coast has countless small cities in Spain, each place has its own scenery and local customs, sunshine and beaches always accompany, but it is not the only one. Later, there will be a special Spanish edition, please look forward to it!

Costa del Sol in Spain.

The Costa del Sol is famous for its sunny beaches. The coast, which stretches for more than 200 kilometers, welcomes millions of tourists every year and is the most popular tourist destination in Europe. Here, sunshine, beautiful women, the ocean, and beaches are the paradise you dream of. Every year, a large number of inland tourists come here for tourism, vacation, honeymoon, and travel. Moreover, the Spanish people are very friendly, making it a very good holiday destination.

Malaga - Costa del Sol

Want to witness the "sea and sky line" of the Mediterranean in person? Come to Malaga. Malaga is the birthplace of Picasso, and it was the passion of the Costa del Sol that inspired his cubist fantasies. In addition to enjoying the beach and sun in Malaga, don't forget to visit the coastline of the Costa del Sol. The surrounding towns, including "Sea of Beauty" Marbella, "European Balcony" Nerja, "Blue Smurf Village" Juzcar, "Cliff Mountain City" Ronda, and the white town "Mijas", are all charming and waiting for travelers to visit. Transportation: Take the AVE high-speed train from Madrid, passing through Cordoba, and arrive in Malaga, with a journey time of 2 hours and 40 minutes. There is a direct Avant high-speed train from Seville, with a journey time of 2 to 3 hours.

Marbella old town is unbelievable 🇪🇸

#europetrip Marbella's Old Town, situated on the sunny southern coast of Spain, beautifully blends Lucian charm with historical allure. 🏰🌞 Wandering through the narrow cobblestone streets, you'll be greeted by white buildings adorned with vibrant flowers, creating a picturesque setting straight out of a postcard. 🌺🏘️ At the heart of the old city lies Plaza de los Naranjos, surrounded by lively county restaurants, cozy snack bars, and quaint shops. The Moorish influence is still palpable in structures like the historic city walls. 🍊🕌 Immerse yourself in the relaxed ambiance of Marbella's old town, where a mix of cultures and cuisines offer a delightful escape in this charming coastal paradise. 🌴🍹

I spent a week with my friends in Marbella, it was a very nice trip. Marbella is a beautiful city to discover with an amazing landscape. We spent some times in nightclubs and we were a bit disappointed because of the lack of people. It was something that we don’t really understand because Marbella is a city known for partying. Otherwise we are happy with the plane tickets we booked with Trip.com. We saved some money !
