5 days on the Costa del Sol
The beautiful 150km stretch of coastline in the
South of Spain is a popular holiday destination for
thousands of European holidaymakers. But if you
enjoy more than just ‘beach’, here’s an alternative
way to spend your days in the sun.
Day 1 – Old Town Marbella
Most people think of beach when they think of
Marbella. But Marbella Old Town is a charming
place to walk around. The streets are narrow and
cobbled in a traditional Spanish style. And there are
many boutiques and cafes to see along the way.
Day 2 – Malaga
The capital city of this region is worth a visit.
Malaga Cathedral is the main attraction in the city.
But if you spend the afternoon in town, you should
stay for the evening. The city comes alive as the
plazas get full with people eating in outside
restaurants.
Day 3 – Puerto Banus
If you have money in your purse, then spend some
time in Puerto Banus. This is where the rich and
famous enjoy their time. The shops and restaurants
are expensive but the quality is great. And you can
3
walk along port and see the many luxury yachts
moored at the marina.
Day 4 – Wet and Wild
With or without kids, the water parks are not to be
missed. There are a handful of water parks up and
down the coast. Not only can you get a thrill out of
the rides, it’s a muchneeded refreshing break from
the hot, hot sunshine.
Day 5 – Love the beach
Beach lover of not – spend the day at the beach
before heading home. It’s important that you get
your tan before flying back. Otherwise, no one will
believe that you have been to the ‘coast of the sun’.
