Andalusian dining at its finest

Wherever you go along the Andalusian coast you’ll be treated to seriously declicious cuisine and Costa del Sol is no different. Its seafront location means there’s a big focus on seafood, the majority of which is as fresh as possible, sourced locally and cooked to absolute perfection. Holidays in Costa del Sol offer a chance to try new dishes and immerse yourself into a new world of flavours – who knows, you might find your new favourite food.

The region’s diverse heritage – which has played host to Celts, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and Arabs over the years – is reflected in its cuisine.

24-hour party people

The Costa del Sol will always be a favourite for holidaymakers looking for a great night out. And, although the coast has much more to offer than hedonistic pleasures, nightlife is still a big part of any holiday along the coast. There’s always areas if you’re looking for a more relaxed evening with a few cocktails or sangria, some entertainment and some music before heading back to your hotel.

But, if it is the party scene you’re looking for, from the popular bistros and bars of Malaga and Torremolinos to the all-night-clubs in Benalmadena’s Puerto Marina and Puerto Banus, revellers can dance the night away and do it all over again the next day. There’s open air clubbing venues, live bands and Djs, and beach parties booming until sunrise. It really will be a holiday to remember – or not.
