Costa del Sol

The town of Estepona is located on Spain's Costa del Sol in Andalucia. This once tiny fishing and farming community is at the quieter end of the Costa and has retained much of its pueblo charm. It's the perfect location for a family holiday or for those wanting plenty to see and do without the mayhem of Torremolinos or Benidorm!   Marbella and Puerto Banus are Spain's answer to St Tropez. They're classy, glitzy.and horrendously expensive. Ferraris cruise the quayside while ordinary folk bide their time with a Haagen-Daz ice-cream in the hope of spotting one of the Hollywood movie stars who frequent this playground of the seriously rich.

With so many world class courses spread all across the region, it is little wonder that Costa del Sol golf holidays thrive, with tourists snapping up Malaga holiday accommodation at all times throughout the year, especially in winter, when temperatures are blissfully warm compared to conditions of the British winter.

However, for many people, a Costa del Sol property is designed for only one thing; beach holidays.
