Costa del Sol - Coast of the Sun
Welcome to #SublimeSunday, a tag presenting you with the unique opportunity to post something a bit different, wacky, crazy or just whatever takes your fancy, initiated by @c0ff33a ☕️
Costa del Sol – the heartbeat of Malaga. 150 km of sand, sun and beaches, of hotels and apartments and shops, cafes, bars and eateries. No wonder it makes up 35 % of the tourist dollars.
The Costa del Sol is a region in the south of Spain, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, comprising the coastal towns and communities along the coastline of the Province of Málaga. The Costa del Sol is situated between two lesser known coastal regions, the Costa de la Luz and Costa Tropical. Formerly made up only of a series of small, quiet fishing settlements, the region has been completely transformed during the latter part of the 20th century into a tourist destination of world renown. - Source

My holidays are drawing to a close, after nine weeks here on the Costa del Sol. It is time to sum up the Costa del Sol.
This is more or less what meets the eye on the 150 km of Costa del Sol. Kilometer after kilometer of apartments, hotels, shops, cafes and restaurants.
The beach on one side...
Apartments, hotels, shops and eateries on the other, with the promenade in the middle...
Beach umbrellas. They are many sections of these beach umbrellas.
A restaurant on the beach. There are quite a few of these, and they usually do brisk business.
This is one of the many restaurants on the beach promenade. For some reason, this one is always very busy. They must be doing something right.
Seagulls - a common sight on the beach, and also in Benalmadena.
Pictures of other sections of the beach...
Espetos - These are skewed Sardines cooked over charcoal fire. A specialty of the restaurants on the beach. And it seems very popular, because the whole promenade smells of barbecued sardines.
A common sight on the promenade is African hawkers selling imitation goods like bags, shoes, wallets, belts, tee-shirts...
And African ladies braiding hair...
The evenings on the Costal del Sol is another wonder. So many people strolling, walking along, after the day’s baking in the sun. Hawkers, and street artists set up stalls on the promenade, hoping to cash in on some tourist dollars.
Every walk on the Costa del Sol is different. Even though the scene may appear the same, if you pay attention to the little things, you will always find something interesting.
I have done a few posts on the Costa del Sol. If you missed out on them, or if you would like to read them again, here are the links to the posts. They will give you a more in dept look at the Costa del Sol.

The only Costa del Sol I know is condo in the eastern part of Singapore but free wifi is good.

I have been posting about Spain, Malaga, Benalmadena and Costa del Sol for the last 70 days. Spain should make me a permanent resident or give me mutli-entry Visa for that. But I don't think that is going to happen. haha...
Thank you for the coffee tokens. Cheers! 😊 👍
