The Costa del Sol takes up about 300 kilometers of the Mediterranean littoral that is the province of Malaga. Protected from the northern winds by a mountain chain, this sheltered coast is shaped by a succession of extensive beaches, coves hidden between cliffs, yachting marinas and fishing ports. The mild climate, infrequency of rainfall, and the sea breeze make for semitropical vegetation in which palm and cypress trees, bougainvillaea, oleander and hibiscus are common. Residential areas, marinas, golf clubs, entertainment centers, nightclubs and many more tourist attractions have been built and now coexist within the peaceful ambience of country villages.
Marbella Marbella is, without a doubt, one of the Costa del Sol's major centers, thanks to the high quality of the facilities and services it provides. The historic part of town, sitting on a beautiful bay, is home to lovely corners of a typically Andalusian flavor, with whitewashed houses and orange trees adorning the streets and squares. Marbella is also a paradise for golf lovers. A dozen magnificent courses allow the golfer to play the sport before the unusual backdrop provided by the sea and the mountains.
