The Costa del Sol is one of the most popular destinations for Spanish holidays. The region is situated on the south coast of Spain bordered against the Mediterranean Sea.

Major towns/cities in the region include Malaga, Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Marbella. Malaga airport is most likely your first port of call if arriving in the region by plane. Malaga is centrally located on the coast of the Costa del Sol.

The Costa del Sol is an excellent destination for families, with an impressive array of activities to cater for all ages.

Energetic members of the family won't want to miss out on a trip to one (or all) of the several water parks available. There's the Aqua Velis Water Park located near Torre del Mar, Parque Aquatica located in Mijas and Aqualand in Torremolinos. Wherever you choose to stay in the region you will find the water parks to be within reasonable travelling distance.

Natura Adentura located in San Pedro de la Alantara near the town of Marbella has many high octane activities to enjoy. Activities include rock climbing, archery, kayaking, paintball, quad biking and more.

The sea life aquarium next to the marina in Benalmadena is well worth the visit, particularly for families with young children. Featured display creatures include the tank of stingrays, the shark reef, turtles and many more. One of the most impressive centrepieces is the walkthrough glass tunnel, where you can see the creatures swim over the top of you. Visitors may even be lucky enough to participate with the feeding. At the end of your visit you can relax in the café or restaurant.

Fuengirola Zoo houses an impressive and diverse range of creatures from around the world. Popular animals to see include orangutans, tigers, crocodiles and many more. The animals at the zoo are kept in humane conditions in enclosures not cages. During the months of July and August the zoo is open until midnight which creates a different ambience and allows you to see the nocturnal animals become active.

For the sporting enthusiast Costa del Sol is home to many fine golf courses, offering the opportunity to play in glorious conditions. With around 60 courses to choose from in the region you're sure to find one that suits your level of play.
