Costa del Sol You might think that its a cliché but the Costa del Sol really does have something for everyone  whether you want to relax on golden beaches or drive inland to the orange groves of Seville. Its a place where you can do all of the things that make holidays special, like improving your swing at San Pedro de Alcantaras golf club, enjoying romantic meals in the restaurants that line Puerto Banus marina or tapas bar hopping in Nerja. And, if it's nightlife that makes your get-away complete, youll feel right at home in the lively clubs and bars of Torremolinos or Fuengirola Nerja Known as the jewel of the eastern Costa del Sol', Nerja mixes modern facilities with Moorish tradition. Its coves and beaches sit along the coastline while a promenade called the Balcon de Europa runs along the cliff edge, offering fantastic sea views. Cobbled streets packed with cafés and boutiques extend from here, coming alive in the evenings with tapas bars and restaurants. Transfer from airport: approx 1hr 30mins. Torremolinos This is fun central! As one of the regions largest resorts, Torremolinos can offer limitless nightlife and entertainment. Its two golden beaches have earned a reputation for being the best on the Costa and the resorts waterpark promises plenty of excitement.
