Costa del Sol Information

Weather forecasts for Marbella on the Costa del Sol in Spain

In the forested areas south-east of the village of Alhaurín el Grande there are traces of Neolithic occupation: silent witnesses to the long history of human habitation of the area. A history longer than history itself.

The village of Istán is tucked away beneath the Sierra Blanca at the head of the valley of the rio Verde, and 20 minutes drive from Marbella. As with so many mountain villages, creations of a time and place in which the only practical means of transport was the mule and the packhorse, Istáns streets are narrow and unsuited to the motor car. The only sensible way to experience it is on foot.

Fuengirola is just twenty minutes from Malaga airport, while the local train station provides easy access to such popular nearby resorts as Torreblanca, Arroyo de la Miel and Torremolinos.

To many Andalucíans, native and expatriate alike, Benahavis is synonymous with food. It has the highest concentration of high class restaurants in the region and draws visitors by the thousand who come simply to savour the cuisine.

Just as Mijas village is serenity, tradition and culture, so Mijas Costa equals that magic combination of sun, sand and sea sports.

La Duquesa is the Costa del Sol's most up and coming area, and has (until recently), remained the Costa del Sol's best kept secret. Although within easy reach of the airports of Malaga and Gibraltar, La Duquesa seems like a thousand miles away from the throng of traditional holiday resorts along the coast and offers an unparalleled quality of life in southern Spain.
