On this our exhaustive guidebook At the best beaches of Costa del Sol ended. We hope you found perfect beach On the coast of Costa del Sol for your next vacation. Still not decided where to go? Then be sure to take a look at.

If you have any suggestions on other beaches of Costa del Sol, which everyone has to visit, leave comments, do not be shy.

Costa del Sol ... With one mention of this name, I immediately become warm in the soul and the solar paintings of the Mediterranean coast, serene rest and eternal holiday pop up in memory! And everything is not accidental, because it is the most southern, the warmest region of the Spanish coast. The very name of the Costa del Sol is translated as the shore of the Sun and precisely for this feature, he was so loved by numerous tourists who come to enjoy the sunny days, which is in excess, and the purest multi-kilometer beaches that this Spanish bank is so rich.

The Costa del Sol resort area is located in one of the largest and southern autonomous communities of Spain - Andalusia. I especially like this region exactly that here you can feel "real" Spain - sultry, hot, passionate. Spain's heart is hidden in Andalusia. A mixture of European culture and the Arab East turns this place in a real treasury for a curious tourist and make it so attractive and honeying.

Costa del Sol - spa zone on mediterranean coast. It extends from Malaga to the West to almost Gibraltar and in the eastern direction to Almeria. , Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Nerja, Estepona - Every city is interesting in its own way, you can choose anyone and do not make a mistake, everywhere there is a southern flavor and everything has a pleasant rest. The western part of the coast is more popular with tourists than Eastern. In the nearby past, these were simple fishing villages, which, thanks to their geographical location and an excellent climate, turned into modern and trendy resorts. The shore of the sun, like a magnet, attracts the crowd of travelers from different countries, Including from Russia.

When I am on the coast of Costa del Sol, I do not leave me feeling that I am on the edge of Europe, but it is so it is: Africa is very close, across the road, or rather - through the Gibraltar Strait.

Majestic cathedrals, wine and vineyards, sandy beaches, palm trees, Corrida, famous flamenco national dance, orange and olive trees, sun, mountains and the sea - that's how rich in the south and for which it is worth come to the very edge of Spain, on the coast of Costa del Salt.

How to get

The resorts of Costa del Sol from Russia can be reached by different types of transport. It all depends on how much time and money will want to spend on a trip. Train, car and aircraft are suitable for independently planned travel. The study companies are engaged in the organization bus tours and sea cruises And these two types of transport can also be used to get to the south of Spain. If you prefer to travel with travel agency, there are options for different taste and wallet.

Plane

Get to the coast of Costa del Sol is easier, faster and cheaper than the air.

From where you will fly, you can compare flight options to your dates.

From Moscow

Direct regular daily flight Aeroflot airlines fly from Moscow to Malaga. On Saturdays and Sundays, two flights are performed, and in a high season, additional flights are organized. The flight time is about 5.5 hours. The price of a ticket to and back is about 320 EUR (approximately 20,000 RUB).

From Saint-Petersburg

From St. Petersburg there are no direct regular flights to Malaga. In my opinion, the most convenient way to get from the northern capital-transit through Moscow. Flight to Moscow lasts no more than 1.5 hours, the docking between flights is from 3 o'clock, the price of a ticket to both ends is about 350 EUR (about 23 000 RUB). Flights perform Aeroflot airline.

Through Europe

Malaga can be reached by almost any European capital, as well as transit through Turkish Airlines airline.

Costa del Sol Airport

Airplanes arrive at the main air harbor of the coast - to the airport Malaga, named after the famous native of the city Pablo Picasso. The airport is very simple to get to the tourist zone. If you decide to stay in Malaga, then from the airport to the city is easily reached in just 20 minutes.

By train

Another option for the most real travelers is to combine flight and travel by railway. You can fly from Moscow by direct flight to Madrid or Barcelona, \u200b\u200band from there in the direction of Malaga, high-speed AVE trains (the name is translated from Spanish as "Bird"). The road will take 2.5-3 hours - the train rushes at a speed of about 350 km / h.

Trains arrive at the main railway station of the city of Estacion de Malaga Maria Zambrano.Information about the cost of tickets and schedules can be found on the website of Spanish National railway company (Red Nacional de Los Ferrocarriles Espanoles), they can also be booked and acquired.

By train, getting from Russia to Costa del Sol is rather problematic. There is no direct railway service from Moscow, so you have to go with transfers through France or Italy. The method is not very convenient: spend a lot of time on the road, and it is expensive, compared to the airlinears.

Bus

Getting to Costa del Sol by bus is not the best idea: you will have to go well for a very long time, if only it is not special tours that offer agencies. As a rule, such routes capture several European capitals and are very often combined with airfare or traveling by rail.

Car

You can get to the resorts to the resorts, but I don't think that this method will have many fans: it is expensive and in time, and for money. The road will take about 44-45 hours from Moscow and as much from St. Petersburg, but it is excluding traffic jams and overnight stays.

Ferry

By sea, get to Costa del Sol is the easiest way, if you buy a special cruise in the Mediterranean in a travel agency. Such cruises include a large visit european cities On the coast I. one-day excursions in every town.

But for a full rest on Costa del Sol, this method is not very suitable.

When the season. When it is better to go

Costa del Sol coast and all Andalusia can be bolded to call all-season tourist area. The average annual temperature in the cities on the coast is + 19 ° C. The time of year to visit Costa del Sol depends on what you plan to do during the trip.

If the purpose of visiting is the rest on the sea coast, then best time For traveling to Costa del Sol is summer. The season begins from the end of May and lasts until the end of September. If you have a desire to see as many attractions as possible and visit different cities, spring and autumn are perfect. Winter N. the best choice For a trip: Tourists go here behind the sun and sea, and in winter the sky is often tightened with clouds, you can not swim in the sea. Prices, of course, in no season lower than in the midst of summer - this can also be an additional incentive for a trip in winter. But, in my opinion, the very first trip and acquaintance with Costa del Sol is better to start in the warm season, when the bright sun shines to feel the southern flavor and enjoy all the pleasures that this graceland offers.

Costa del Sol in summer

The interesting feature of Spain is that the calendar summer here begins not from the first June as in Russia, but from June 21. But despite this, beautiful summer weather here is installed even earlier than June 1. It is worth keeping in mind that the end of July and August is the hottest time: the air warms up to +40 ° C. So the forces are likely to be only for visiting the beach, but not for acquaintance with the sights.

Of course, on the coast of Costa del Sole, it is much easier than thanks to the sea breeze. But deep in the region, away from the coastline, the heat is simply unbearable. Famous city Even nicknamed by the Spanish frying pan! Therefore, it is unlikely that you will want to explore the sights in such a heat - your attention will attract only the beach and the sea.

If you like to swim in the warm sea, keep in mind another feature of Costa del Sol: Although this is the hottest region of Spain, but the sea, unfortunately, warms up no more than +24 ° C - and that is only closer to August. This is explained by the proximity Atlantic Ocean and underwater flows. Tourists during this period most, therefore it is worth taking care of the hotel's booking and buying tickets in advance.

Costa del Sol in autumn

If you are more interested in sightseeing, not a beach holiday, then the optimal time for visiting is the offseason. In the fall, no longer so hot, but comfortable, so at this time of year is especially popular excursion tours. But the beach holiday is also not worth discounting. Sea in September becomes even warmer than in summer and warms up to 25 ° C. Tourists on the coast are slightly smaller than in a high season, although slightly, autumn on Costa del Sal is no less popular. To visit, it is better to choose the second half of September and all October, but November will not be so sunny, it is possible to rain.

At the beginning of autumn, you can enjoy the harsh berries and fruits, for example, grapes.

Costa del Sol in spring

Spring is my most favorite season for visiting Costa del Sol. It is already warm, but not hot, the air temperature is about 20-23 ° C. It is too early to swim in the sea, especially in March and in April, but you can sunbathe. Great time for excursions, walks around the city. Since March, fruit trees begin to bloom, nature awakens after the winter. In the spring it is worth come to see how orange trees bloom, and most importantly, inhale this sweet flavor!

And in the spring, various holidays are held. For example, La Semana Santa - Easter Week, Feria de Abril - April Fair. The cities reigns a cheerful and festive atmosphere, everyone dressed in national costumes. Holidays are an excellent reason to come here in the spring!

Costa del Sol in winter

In winter, there is quite comfortable weather on Costa del Sol, the air warms up to + 15-19 ° C. Mountains protect the coast from strong cold weather. True, there is a probability of frequent rains.

In addition, in small resort towns will be quite boring without a beach holiday. Therefore, winter is not the best time to visit the Costa del Sol, especially the coastal zone. Although you can come here for Christmas or New YearTo break a little from Russian frosts. And if it turns out to be visited on Costa del Sol in February, you can see carnivals that are held in different towns of the coast, including in the capital of the region - Malaga.

Of course, the leader in interesting places It is the capital of the province of Malaga, but I will give a list of five attractions that are not in the capital, but in other cities. These places must be viewed.

Top 5.

List of top attractions Costa del Sol includes:

Beaches. What better

I consider the beaches of Costa del Sol one of the best beaches in Spain, and maybe even the best. Wide, sandy, well equipped, marked with blue flag, environmentally friendly. In every city coast, there are several first-class beaches.

Most beaches are marked with a blue flag. This means that the beach is clean and meets all sanitary standards. The east coast of Costa del Sol places are pebble and stony. The overall length of the beaches is about 160 kilometers, the best sandy beaches are located west of Malaga.

Beaches Torremolinos

Torremolinos coast consists of the following beaches:

• Central beach La Cariower is covered with dark sand and perfectly equipped.

• El Saltillo Beach - in the center of the tourist area, equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas.

• Playamar Beach - Suitable for surfers and players in Volleyball.

• Montamar Beach is a quiet and calm, adjacent to the port of Benalmaden.

• Los Alamos - Wide and Calm Beach ..

Beaches Fuengirola

Fuengirola does not lag behind Torremolinos and boasts cool beaches, including:

• Los Bolic Beach is a very crowded and popular. There is an old coastal bar.

• Santa Amalia Beach is marked by the Blue Flag, it is adjacent to the attraction of Fuengirola - Castle Soail.

• The beach is perfect for recreation with children.

• Fuengirola Beach - Central City Beach.

Beaches Malaga

The malaga is located about 15 beaches. Of course, all of them are one better than the other! I'll tell you about some of them:

Churches and temples. What are you worth a visit

The most famous cathedral on Costa del Sol is the Malaga Cathedral. The majestic construction of the architect Diego de Silae. The cathedral is unusual in that he has only one bell tower: the second was not completed, because there was not enough funds. In the people, it was called "one-handed lady". With the Cathedral there is a museum of his story.
The beautiful Negotic Church of the Holy Heart-Maleia de Sagrado Korazon, built in the 20th century, deserves attention.

In Marbella, in the old town there is an interesting church of Ilelesia de Encarnasion.

Outside, the church is not so decorated, the walls are painted white, and only a beautiful main portal attracts attention to themselves. But inside the church there is a lush altar. Free admission.

Among the Catholic temples on Costa del Sol, a completely unexpected religious building can be found. Near Benalmadena was erected buddhist stupa (temple)! She immediately strides in the eyes due to the high gold spider. Inside the stua set the statue of Buddha. The walls decorate painting, made by artists from Nepal.

Museums. What are you worth a visit

Museums in Costa del Sol are actually a lot! I will give a list of the most interesting in my opinion.

Malaga museums

The place of concentration of museums, of course, is.

And in Malaga there are Flamenco Museums, Museum of Religious Art, City Museum fine arts And many others.

Museums of Marbella

Marbella also has several interesting museumsthat deserve attention.

Torremolinos museums

In Torremolinos, you should visit the Tattoo Museum, where you can see how tattoos are made, read books on the history of the Tattoo, see photos and sketches.

Neighboring regions

For those who are tired of the beach holiday and the sea, there is a great opportunity to arrange a mini-journey in the region.

Food. What to try

On Costa del Sol, as in any other popular international resort, there will be no problems with food. In each coastal town there is a huge number of restaurants, bars, snack bars with different dishes in the menu, familiar to all pizza and pasta, various salads, meat dishes.

For fasteners of fast food, there will be no problems with food: on the coast, almost in every resort town can find world chains of fast snack bars.

But it seems to me that it will be a real crime not to try at least a few dishes from traditional Spanish cuisine. The most religious and beloved of the Spaniards is the Tapas Bars. Tapas is light snacks that are served to drink - beer or guilt. It can be:

• little bourreds with Hamon (Spanish ham);
• seafood - for example, squid, mussels;
• vegetable snacks;
• olives, clapped on the skewers, etc.

You can try different types and even quite well saturate - a full dinner will not need. I was lucky to get to the Feria de Tapas held in Malaga, or the Tapas Fair. Feria was carried out in the arena for the battleship. By the way, no bull would have suffered then. You buy special flags, and you can try different types of beers and snacks, and you can vote for your favorites.

And read more about Spanish food. Here I will list the most famous masterpieces of Spanish cuisine, characteristic of the south:

• Also, the popular soup is famous throughout Spain, it can also be tried on Costa del Sol, - Sopa de Aho. It is a transparent garlic soup with bread.

Also on the coast you can taste different seafood and fish, thanks to the Mediterranean Sea:

• anchovies, Sardines - they are eating fresh here, most often compressed, and not in the form of canned;
• mussels;
• langusti;
• dorada;
• one of the most popular species of fish here is a bakalo, or cod.

A very tasty and expensive baking are preparing monks in Andalusian monasteries. I definitely advise you to try, I really liked it!

Beverages

South Spain is a wine edge, so it is necessary to taste local wines.

In Malaga, the capital of Costa del Sol produces a sweet wine Dulce, something similar to Portwine.

On the limestone soils near the city produced the famous Jerez. Wine is withstanding in barrels. Periodically mix young and mature wine.

In severe heat, Sangria will be the best drink. This is a light red summer wine in which are added oranges, apples, sugar, a little liqueur, ice. It is served all in glass jugs with a long wooden spoon for stirring.

Coffee has hot drinks on the coast of great popularity. The Spaniards do not drink tea, but I, as a special fan of this drink, always bought it in supermarkets. Choosing, just say, small. Such a variety, as we, no, but something to find will still succeed.

Where to buy food

Who loves to prepare on vacation alone, the information about the products supermarkets and markets can be useful.

My favorite is a supermarket in the famous EL Corte Ingles department store. In each of them, a grocery store with an extensive choice is located on the basement. For example, there are many types of hamon in vacuum packaging of different manufacturers, and prices are very attractive: you can buy packaging for 1 EUR. Also in the store a large selection of olives, cheese, vegetables and fruits.

Also, you can go to the Mercadona network. Or to Super Sol supermarket - the store is considered inexpensive, there are often special offers for different categories of goods.

Do not forget the important item: On Sundays, all stores are closed, including the food! Be prepared to buy something necessary in advance. Although there is a chopping wand in such situations - these are small shops that are owned by immigrants from China. There you can buy everything: from a toothbrush to a bottle of wines. And they work even on Sundays.

Vegetables and fruits need to be bought in the markets. A wonderful indoor market called Atarasanas is in Malaga. Here is a very large selection.

Features mentality

The lifestyle of people is always influenced by climate and geographic location. For tourists from Northern Europe and for Russians, the abundance of sunlight is of course a holiday, because we are not visible for almost six months and miss it very much. But sometimes you need to save. And for this, in the south of Spain and there is Siesta, it means after a post-free sleep. All stores, pharmacies and other institutions are closed on a three-hour break from 14 to 17-18 hours, and after opening continue to work until 21 hours.

During the streets, the streets die off, and in the late afternoon, life begins to spill back to late night. The Spaniards love to sit in some tapas bar behind a glass of wine or beer with friends, discuss the urgent problems and just chat.

The Spaniards are very friendly and friendly, always ready to help the tourist, even if he does not understand Spanish. But when you start a conversation with local in their native language, many of it causes a storm of emotions, they are very rejoicing and there are even a little shocked. In one of the bars when I spoke with the Waiter in Spanish and began to place an order, he asked me from what country I am, and when I heard my answer, that I did not believe it from Russia, and I even asked again, for sure I am Russia? This, of course, was somewhat discouraged by me, but then it turned out that there were still tourists from Russia, who know Spanish. Of course, I did not believe him and counted his words for a compliment.

Holidays

Throughout the year, many different holidays and fairs are held on Costa del Sol, during which you can get acquainted with traditions. different cities Provinces. Most of the holidays are associated with history and traditional cuisine, so tourists have a great opportunity to learn the national culture of the Costa del Sol region. I will give a list of several interesting holidays in my opinion:

Security. What to beware is worth

In any place where a large number of people accumulate, you need not to lose vigilance and be very attentive, as thieves and pockets attracts such a situation. In general, with safety, everything is the same as in the rest of Spain. Valuable things are better stored in safes. You do not need to carry a passport with you to the beach and leave things unattended. Be sure to be a photocopy of passports and visas before the trip just in case: through copies it will be easier to restore documents in the case of force majeure.

Things to do
