The annual average temperature is around 21C and there are over 300 days of sunshine a year - with such glorious weather it really is an all year round holiday destination.

The Costa del Sol is a Mecca for sports activity enthusiasts centred on what has become known as the ‘Costa del Golf’. The region boasts numerous courses; add these to tennis clubs, equestrian courses, sailing clubs, diving and walking - what more could you ask for!

Inland from the terrific beaches and ports, with their fantastic range of restaurants and shops, you can explore the natural beauty of the Andalucian countryside and Sierra Nevada mountains, Moorish towns, parks and gorges, all there for you to explore. For the more adventurous, see the sights by hot air balloon or try your hand at abseiling, white water rafting or canoeing.

The Costa del Sol does not forget children. If they have had enough of the pool and beach, entertainment is never far away - sea life centres, water and amusements parks are all close at hand.

And don’t forget that trip to Gibraltar - great for duty free shopping, an unbeatable view from the top of the Rock (with the famous monkeys) and unforgettable boat trips - a terrific day out.
