Welcome to the Costa del Sol
Welcome to Andalucía. Welcome to a land of contrasts. Along the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean, the Costa del Sol is one of the
world’s most luxurious, most sought-after destinations. It really is the coast of the sun, with an average of 320 days of sunshine every
year and a marvelously relaxed, cosmopolitan atmosphere. But venture inland, and you’re in another world: captivated by the Spain of the Moors,
who ruled Andalucía for nearly 800 years and left a legacy that includes not only the wonderful architecture of the Alhambra in Granada,
but also the national musical instrument, the Spanish guitar. The region’s delicate Moorish craftsmanship adorns some of the most admired
buildings in Europe. The exuberance of the flamenco was born here; as were some of Spain’s greatest artists: Velásquez, Murillo and
Picasso. Sherry, the country’s national drink, is created in its heartland. Truly, Andalucía is the very essence of Spain, the cradle
of its history. Savour the contrasts in the picturesque ports along the coast, where traditional fishing fleets rub shoulders with the latest
and most luxurious yachts. Relax in Puerto Banús, Spain’s first and still most fashionable port, with its exclusive shops, restaurants
and nightlife. Travel up to the majestic Sierra Bermeja, take in the breathtaking view across to Africa from Alto Los Reales, and maybe stop off
for some Tapas. Above all, Andalucía is a place to slow down and enjoy life. Unwind on one of the area’s nearly sixty golf courses,
many designed by top international golfers, in a climate that lets you play all year round. Alternatively, linger over a leisurely meal at one
of the many restaurants in this gastronomic haven.
