Thanks to the exceptional climate of the province of Malaga, the summer season lasts throughout the whole year. And the proposals for leisure activities to enjoy even more, range from an African safari in the heart of the Costa del Sol to fully immerse yourself in the culture of the Mediterranean shore.
Malaga, August 14th 2023.- Who said that summer has an end? With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, the season is extended in the province of Malaga and you can enjoy the good weather and outdoor plans beyond the summer season. A day on the Costa del Sol can start diving in the Mediterranean and can end among meerkats or savoring the traditional feeling of flamenco. And it is that the days become too short to be able to enjoy all the leisure offer.
To cool off and spend a seafaring day one of the best options is the Senda Azul. An initiative that combines the tourist, heritage and cultural offer linked to the maritime world of the province of Malaga, along the 160 kilometers of coastline. Along the entire Senda Azul, you can find endless unique places to get to know and enjoy the history and culture that surrounds the Mediterranean on the Costa del Sol. Whether on board a boat or diving into the sea, or even enjoying a moment of tranquility in one of the marinas, the Senda Azul is one of the best options to get to know the Costa del Sol from all perspectives.
Another very cool proposal is that of the countless water slides of AquaMijas, where adults and children can enjoy, with different levels of adrenaline, a whole day soaking in this enclosure in the town of Mijas. And to complete the day, not far from there, nothing better than discovering the traditions and customs of the Costa del Sol with dinner and the equestrian and flamenco show of Spanish Night in Mijas Costa.
Those who want to add a dose of adventure to their stay on the Costa del Sol are spoilt for choice. Cocodrile Park, in Torremolinos, offers the possibility to see live crocodiles from all over the world of different species. The largest European crocodile is also found in this park, although yes, stuffed. For thrills in style, at Sunview Park in Alhaurín de la Torre the boldest ones will have the opportunity to see what it feels like on the longest zip line in Andalusia. The experience of traveling more than a kilometer in the heights can be completed later in the same enclosure with a horseback ride, archery or simply enjoying the sunset with a beer on the terrace.
A safari on the Costa del Sol? Yes, in the Selwo Aventura park in Estepona it is possible to become an explorer for a day and take a tour in a vehicle surrounded by the most representative species of Africa: white rhinos, the orondos hippos, towering giraffes, striking zebras or various species of antelope. For a totally African adventure, the Selwo Lodge offers the possibility of staying in Masai cabins or Zulu villas with jacuzzi. And from the savannah to the depths of the ocean. The Selwo Marina Park in Benalmádena is the ideal place to discover and learn everything there is to know about marine fauna, even interacting with dolphins, sea lions or penguins. Because on the Costa del Sol it is possible to go around the world through the habitats of different animal species, learn more about how they live and see how animals as exotic as the Komodo dragon are raised. The Bioparc of Fuengirola offers the opportunity to go from the jungle of Madagascar to the temple of Angkor in Cambodia, passing through the Congo Valley and learning about the fauna and flora of these exotic and exciting places.
On the Costa del Sol there are as many leisure activities as there are desires to enjoy free time with different plans for any age. In order not to miss any of the proposals, Turismo Costa del Sol has a website that offers ideas and suggestions for activities in the province of Malaga. It also includes a selection of accommodation and restaurants, since being tempted by gastronomy is one of the plans that should not be missing in any getaway to the Costa del Sol.
