The Costa del Sol is located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. It occupies 150 km in the Andalusian province of Malaga. The history of tourism in the Costa del Sol dates back to 1940 and since then this area has attracted many tourists.
A cold Atlantic current passes in coastal waters, so the water temperature only reaches +23oC in July, and in June it does not rise above +20oC. But still there are many beaches and opportunities for windsurfing, diving, yachting, tennis and golf.
The Costa del Sol has some of the best golf courses in the world. The coast is very interesting in terms of attractions. The city of Ronda is known for the largest bullfighting area in Spain, in Malaga it is worth seeing the medieval Cathedral, the fortress of Alcazarebra, visiting the birthplace of Pablo Picasso. Among the resorts of the Costa del Sol are Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Marbella.
