he Costa del Sol is a region in the south of Spain, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, comprising the coastal towns and communities along the Mediterranean coastline of the Málaga province. The Costa del Sol is situated between two lesser known costas: Costa de la Luz and Costa Tropical. Formerly made up only of a series of small, quiet fishing settlements, the region has been completely transformed during the latter part of the 20th century into a tourist destination of world renown.
It includes the city of Málaga,and the towns of Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, San Pedro de Alcántara, Estepona, Manilva, Vélez-Málaga, Rincon de la Victoria, Nerja, Torrox, the community of Sotogrande, San Roque and La Línea de la Concepción.
Settlement in the region dates back to the Bronze Age, and it has been colonised and ruled by many cultures such as the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Visigoths and Moors, before the Reconquista.
Historically its population lived in the fishing villages, and in the “white” villages a little distance inland, in the mountains running down to the coast. The area was discovered and developed to meet the demands of international tourism in the 1950s and has since been a popular destination for foreign tourists not only for its beaches but also for its local culture. The area is particularly famous for its towns like Marbella, which provides the Costa del Sol with its reputation for being a playground for its super-rich and famous visitors.
During the late 1970s and 1980s, the region became known as the “Costa del Crime”, due to the trend for British gangsters to escape from legal trouble at home by moving there to live their lives in luxury. Due to tense relations between the two nations over Gibraltar, extradition between the two countries was not followed. This phenomenon has been alluded to in television shows such as Auf Wiedersehen, Pet and in the more recent film The Business.
The Costa del Sol is a popular tourist region that welcomes millions of people annually, who mostly arrive at Malaga airport and head to one of the many resorts located along this stretch of coastline from Gibraltar in the west to Nerja in the east. ( source Wikipedia )

@JordanDinstrumentals Bit of a late reply but..
I go to malaga every year and i enjoy it all the time I've always been in July till mid augaust and the weather was brilliant. I've also been in February skiing but that was in granada – Spain, I think, 16C And still piles of snow. But one year I went in October and we had a few days of rain, but their is still plenty to do, you'll like it.
@JordanDinstrumentals Holaa The best option is Malaga.
You will find all the best services to enjoy an unforgettable holiday or long periods in the most absolute relax.
