Fuengirola is another marvelous place with a subtropical climate. The selections of luxurious hotels in this resort mainly overlook 5 kilometers of beach with views over the Mediterranean. There are colorful promenades lined with trees and the perfume from the flowerbeds add to the enjoyment of a walk at any time of the day or night.
Last but not least, a visit to the beautiful Nerja is a must. Located toward the east of Malaga, Nerja stands out as a magnificent whitewashed village. The Nerja caves are approximately 5 million years old and are considered to be one of the most significant Prehistoric archeological discoveries in the Mediterranean. 4,000 metres in length, there are stalagmites and stalactites in all of the huge chambers.
Discoveries have also been made of species that were believed to be extinct in caves such as blind scorpions and scarab beetles. Balcon de Europa is the most popular place in Nerja offering spectacular views across the Mediterranean and the old quarter is well worth a visit to explore the narrow streets where you will find craft shops and other outlets offering traditional products. The Costa del Sol has something for everyone and spending a holiday in any of the resorts will be a truly unforgettable experience.
