Ronda in Costa del Sol.
Malaga, 27th September 2023.- Costa del Sol is the perfect destination for those travellers looking to extend the summer season and continue enjoying adventures in the sun, because in the province of Malaga (Spain) the sun shines more than 320 days a year, with pleasant temperatures even in autumn and winter. In addition, the municipalities that make up the Costa del Sol also offer visitors a wide variety of leisure activities during these seasons of the year.
The Costa del Sol is open to all types of visitors, it offers activities to enjoy nature and active tourism; you can customise your getaway as a city break; take the opportunity to lose yourself in the inland villages; or you can simply relax and switch off in the sun and the sand along the coast of Malaga.
Immerse yourself in Malaga´s nature
Lovers of active tourism in the province of Malaga can explore nature in the way that most appeals to them, because in addition to impressive natural beauty, the Costa del Sol also has a range of different outdoor activities: hiking, climbing, canyoning or zip lines are just some of the options.
Adventurers can also choose what backdrop they want for their activity, from the mountains in the Sierra de las Nieves National Park, the Torcal de Antequera, the Montes de Málaga and the Gran Senda or the sea in the Senda Litoral.
Among the most popular options is the Caminito del Rey, in the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, which is a real challenge for adrenaline-junkies, with seven kilometers of walkways suspended from the rocks at dizzyingly high altitudes.
City break in the province of Malaga
Those passionate about culture, history and leisure, as well as urban tourism in Costa del Sol, can find three cities that will certainly make an impression: Malaga, Antequera and Ronda. Malaga, the capital of the province, offers the traveller a large number of monuments and museums to learn about its history as the Alcazaba and the Castle of Gibralfaro, but also to marvel at the works of artists such as Picasso (in the Picasso Museum) or contemporary art (at the Pompidou Center).
On the other hand, in Antequera the visitor will find a set of historical monuments in a city with a long history and cultural heritage, while Ronda dazzles with its New Bridge and its impressive gorge, one of the most iconic postcards of the Costa del Sol, besides having cobbled streets that hide fascinating historical buildings such as the church of Santa Maria la Mayor and the Palace of the Moorish King.
Inland Costa del Sol
Dotted among the countryside of inland Malaga are the hidden charming towns that constitute its true character. One such town is Benaoján in the Natural Park of the Sierra de Grazalema, which has splendid landscapes typical of the Serranía de Ronda as well as natural attractions such as the Cueva del Gato and the Cueva de la Pileta.
Ardales is located in the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, and as it is the closest village to the Caminito del Rey it boasts both incredible views and a cultural and historical heritage that is worth the visit. Frigiliana also stands out for its beauty. In fact, its cobbled streets, its white facades adorned with colorful pots, and its charming squares have all earned it the title of being one of the most beautiful villages in Andalusia.
