The Costa del Sol is the ideal place to spend a romantic holiday, with sunshine-filled days most of the year and an average annual temperature of about 18C (65F). The area offers numerous choices, from bustling hotels to romantic private resorts. By Gaizka Pujana As its name (Sunny Coast) implies, the Costa del Sol is the ideal place to spend a romantic holiday, with sunshine-filled days most of the year and an average annual temperature of about 18C (65F). The area offers numerous popular and hidden vacation resorts, from the bustling to romantic and private. Visitors to Costa del Sol traditionally stay in every type of accommodation available, ranging from luxury hotels to budget youth hostels. Another common form of accommodation is apartment rental, as this allows visitors more independence and flexibility to plan their holiday around their own needs. Some hotels and apartment complexes offer swimming pools or private beaches; others are big on golf courses. Visitors often decide to get up from the pool's edge or take a break from the golf course to experience some of the beautiful areas around the Costa del Sol. This is the time to consider one of the many interesting day excursions. They depart from key points in the region, and take visitors to see some of the wonders that this area has to offer. One popular day trip is by luxury coach to the city of Granada. Visitors marvel at the Moorish culture and architecture that makes this city so famous. Interesting places to visit in Granada include the Alhambra Palace, the Charles V Palace, and the gypsy quarter. What would a trip to the Costa del Sol be without a visit to the capital of Andalusia, Seville? This city is a true gem. The atmosphere, culture and beauty of Seville will truly amaze you. There are plenty of historic buildings and places of interest to enjoy in this city; so allow plenty of time to take it all in. Perched on the top of steep windy road from the town of Marbella, sits the historical town of Ronda. This area is one of the focal points of any type of excursion in the area taken by tourists. Fellow tourists will very likely surround you at any time of the year. However, this is no reason not to visit Ronda, which promises fantastic historic buildings and an authentic look at the Arab age in the Andalusia region. Do not overlook a visit to Spain's oldest bullring in this town! For visitors who are after a full day of duty-free shopping, nothing quite beats a day trip to the Island of Gibraltar. Here tourists can enjoy making purchases of many luxury items, including famous Gibraltar glass wear, leather goods, wines, silks, and even electrical goods. In addition to the shopping, Gibraltar offers some lovely views and places of interest for those who want to go easy on the shopping sprees. There are also day tours to the Rock of Gibraltar, where visitors can examine its famous history, learn about its strategic importance, and visit some of its exciting locations such as the San Miguel Caves and the Monkey Reserve. Finally, you can take a fun daylong excursion to Nerja and Frigiliana. These two villages are the epitome of Andalusia culture. Here visitors can really experience the essence of this part of the world. Do not forget a tour of the famous Nerja prehistoric cave. As you can see, a trip to Costa del Sol can be as varied as you want it to be. You can spend your entire trip lazing about the pool, but you will miss a lot if you do not take at least one or two day trips to its beautiful outer regions.
