The Costa del Sol’s golden beaches, warm, sunny climate and relaxed atmosphere make it an idyllic retirement area.
With over 300 days of sunshine a year, you can truly embrace the outdoor lifestyle here. More than 40 golf courses along the coastline will test the skills of any golfer, while for mariners, there are some of the world’s finest ports.
A huge variety of food and drink is on offer all along the Costa del Sol, with many restaurants within a stone’s throw of the Mediterranean sea.
Further inland, you will find small Spanish villages which have barely changed over the years. Mountains stretch upwards spectacularly, leading to peace and quiet away from the bustling coastal life. Forests and conservation areas make ideal territory for walking, horse riding and getting away from it all.
Unsurprisingly, the area is popular with expatriates and tourists of many nationalities, and you will find a real mix of people. Property of all varieties is available along the Costa del Sol, and English is spoken in many places.
