Costa Del Sol

Costa del Sol – literally, ‘sun coast’ is a 150 km stretch of beach, in the Malaga Province of Spain. It comprises of a number of towns popular with the British, Germans, Scandinavians and French. The area's sunny climate is the main attraction. This is where sun seekers head for in summer. It reportedly accounted for 35% of Spain’s tourist income.

Benalmadena sits in the center of this very popular coast. On the beach sit sunbeds and straw shade umbrellas for rent. Along the beach promenade are restaurants, cafes and gift shops. Up on the road are hotels, apartments and more restaurants, cafes and gift shops.

Tourists’ arrival on the Costa del Sol begin in May. Peak periods are from July to September, when it is the school holidays and European summer holidays. By the end of September, tourists will begin to dwindle when the Summer holidays end, and children go back to school. By then, it will also be too windy and cold to go into the water.

The beach is fifteen minutes walk from Roger’s apartment. On days when we do not have to go to the shop, we sometimes take a long walk on the beach. Here are some photos from our walk last Sunday.
