Important beaches on the Costa del Sol
Playa de Burriana in Nerja. The fine, golden sand and the wide range of chiringuitos (small restaurants or beach bars) explain its popularity and is also the busiest and longest. Playa Malapesquera, also called Playa Torrebermeja, is one of the most popular beaches in Benalmádena. It has been awarded the Blue Flag several times. The popularity of Playa de Cabopino has increased significantly in recent decades. The fine, golden sand and calm, clean waters make it the perfect family destination. Playa de la Carihuela is the largest beach in Torremolinos and definitely one of the most popular. The clean and shallow water makes it the perfect place to take a refreshing dip. It's hard to miss La Malagueta beach! On the beach is a large statue with the letters of "Malagueta". This is a popular beach for the many tourists who visit the city of Málaga.
Costa del Sol: The climate
About one million people live on the Costa de Sol, including nearly 300,000 foreigners. Here is a privileged climate with mild winters and warm summers and about 330 days of sunshine a year. The fantastic climate also means that outdoor activities can be enjoyed all year round. The sunshine and beautiful beaches are complemented by rich local culture and many activities. It is therefore not surprising that the Costa del Sol attracts millions of tourists every year.
Real estate on Costa del Sol
The most popular accommodations are luxury residences, golf resort residences and residences with sea views.
Contrary to popular belief, the type of property that expats are looking for is quite different from what the Spanish are looking for. Expats are generally more interested in living on the coast.
For many foreign buyers looking for luxury real estate, a property must have a sea view. It doesn't matter if this is far from the beach, as long as you can enjoy playing golf and lounging by the pool.
