The Costa del Sol in the South of Spain runs from Nerja in the East to Gibraltar in the West. The Costa del Sol has been a bug hit with British tourists since the 1950s and continues to this day to be one the most popular 'hot spots' for British and other European Tourists, who visit the area all year round.

The most popular resorts on the Costa del Sol are without any doubt Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Fuengirola, Mijas Costa and Marbella. If you travel further west you will encounter the more quiet areas such as Estepona and Sotogrande and if you head east you will find Nerja. If you are British and you are looking for a great life in the sun but want the benefit of home comforts and a busy location to earn a good living, then you should consider the main resorts mentioned above.
