Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol is an area in the south of Spain that benefits from exceptionally good Mediterranean weather, with average summer temperatures exceeding 25 degrees and August temperatures regularly exceeding 35 degees. The coastline, full of natural splendour, extends for 161 kilometres and its various beaches range from huge expanses of golden sand to hidden coves with secluded beaches.

With an average of more than three hundred cloudless days a year, there are endless hours to enjoy the beaches during the summer. It is never too cold for a swim as the sea has an average temperature of 18 degrees,  in August this can rise above twenty-four. The summer season on the Costa del Sol is much longer than just the months of July, August and September. These sunny coast beaches are of a high standard and have extensive services, which have been recognised by the European Union under the blue flag system.
