Overview
Puerto Banus Beach
The densely populated coast of Andalusia, stretching from
Almeria to Tarifa, is Europe's all-year-round favoured holiday
destination, known as the Costa del Sol. It consists of a string of
fine sandy beaches, where the average water temperature is
64ºF (18ºC), and picturesque towns have abundant tourist
amenities, resorts and high-rise hotels. Attractions include zoos,
bullfights, water parks, casinos and amusement parks, like the
renowned Parque de Attractions Tivoli. The most popular resort town
on the Costa del Sol is Torremolinos, which retains some elements
of traditional Spain, although most main streets are now pedestrian
thoroughfares filled with souvenir shops and ice-cream
parlours.
