Costa del Sol is one of the most visited destinations in Spain for honeymoon. The Mediterranean coastline runs from La Linea de la Concepcion (Gibraltar) to the municipality of Nerja on the border of the province of Malaga with the province of Granada. It is a display of cities and urbanizations with picturesque villages and historic centers through 185 kilometers that alternate beaches of varied shapes, sizes and styles.

Costa del Sol has plenty of more than desirable destinations for exceptional holidays. One of them, without a doubt, is Fuengirola with more than eight kilometers of beach and a historical center full of life any day of the year. Another attraction of its beaches is the proximity they have with other places of interest such as the Sohail Castle.

Go ahead and cross the Puente de la Armada Española and access the maritime promenade, the largest in Spain. To rest from the bustle of the city, we recommend visiting the Parque de España or even the Bioparc of Fuengirola. And as for gastronomy, the espetos and fried pescaito cannot be missed. For desserts, try the Fuengirola cakes, made with flour, cinnamon, butter, sugar and orange.

The unbeatable formula that equally appeals to tourists of different nationalities especially from France, Germany, England and Nordic countries is the combination of excellent weather (sun almost 300 days a year), with beaches and mountain scenery next to a huge offer of services in an urban spot that practically extends without interruptions throughout those 185 kilometers.
