COSTA DEL SOL<br />
<strong>Luxury</strong> holidays in Costa del Sol don’t just centre around<br />
Marbella. Simply pitch your swimming towels along one of<br />
the coast’s public beaches where the sand is still soft, the<br />
water warm, and amenities available. If you’re looking for<br />
water sports, just ask. A wander along the sand and you’ll<br />
find invitation-only beach clubs where celebrities and the<br />
very wealthy hang out, attracted to Costa del Sol by its<br />
beauty and opulence.<br />
Nightlife along the Costa del Sol is varied, with plenty of<br />
cosmopolitan bars to enjoy, and restaurants staying open<br />
until late. Find a table overlooking one of the marinas,<br />
admiring the many and varied yachts moored there. Stroll<br />
around the old town, dip into shops selling chic brands, or<br />
others with more reasonable price tags, before settling down<br />
to a cocktail in one of the bars.<br />
VISIT: The city of Seville makes a great day trip from the<br />
Costa del Sol. Tour the Gothic Seville Cathedral, peering<br />
up at the minaret that was recycled into a bell tower.<br />
TRY: Golf! With over 60 golf courses, golfers don’t need to<br />
travel far from their resort in Costa del Sol in the region of<br />
Andalucia.<br />
TOP TIP: “No trip to the Costa del Sol is complete without<br />
a visit to the amazing city of Malaga. The array of tapas<br />
bars and sherry bodegas is astounding. The most famous<br />
is El Pimpi near the Plaza Merced. Here you can find<br />
photographs of famous visitors to the bar, including<br />
Antonio Banderas and Tony Blair.” - Helen Lippe,<br />
