Costa del Sol, Spain

One of the most popular holiday haunts for the British and northern Europeans is the coast of Andalucia, known as the Costa del Sol, which stretches from Nerja down to Gibraltar. The coast offers every amenity and facility imaginable, all within an hour's drive of Malaga airport. With its miles of sandy beaches, spectacular mountainous scenery, over 320 days of sunshine every year and just over a 2 hour flight time away from home, it's no wonder that this has become one of the most popular choices for those purchasing a second home in the sun. Since the 1950's this area has been a popular destination, attracting more and more people each year. The infrastructure has changed dramatically over the years and vast improvements have been made to the airport, roads, rail and other facilities, all of which have contributed to its healthy, stable and financially secure property market. The government is continuing to invest in and improve the infrastructure along the coast and Malaga international airport is currently undergoing a huge expansion programme to cope with demand and is set to become one of the leading international airports in Europe.

The Andalucian lifestyle is a very relaxed one and you can't help but to fall into the tranquil way of life here. The Costa del Sol is also referred to as the 'Costa del Golf' as it really is a golfers paradise! This is where you can find some of the finest courses in the world, some of which are used for championship tournaments. If sight-seeing is part of your agenda then this wonderful area has everything to offer. Malaga itself is an amazing city, full of Andalucian charm and spectacular architecture. Within a couple of hours drive you have some of the most stunning and historical Spanish cities such as Cordoba, Seville & Granada, not to mention the popular ski resort of Sierra Nevada within only an hour and a half's drive from Malaga. Where else in the world can you be on the ski slopes in the morning and then sunbathing on the beach in the afternoon? Spain is also well known for its quaint little white-washed villages, clinging to the mountain sides, many of which are only a 20 minute drive inland from the coast. Traditional Spanish villages such as Casares, Ronda, Manilva and Sabinillas are all within easy reach and still enjoy their age old traditions and festivals. The coast has tourists and residents of all nationalities. English is widely spoken and everyone is made welcome....even more welcome if you can speak a few words of Spanish which you will need if you are visiting or planning to live in one of the little villages. If you get it wrong, at least the locals will warm to you for making the effort and giving them a few laughs in the process!!

The people of the Costa del Sol

The riches of the coastline have attracted people from every corner of the world for centuries and the first settlers here were the Phoenician and Greek colonisers. The Romans made their mark on the area by founding huge cities, traces of which are still evident everywhere. For several centuries Andalucia was under Moorish rule. In modern times, since the 1950's, the area has attracted a international community. Predominantly in the 50's, the visitors were mostly Spaniards although the English were just discovering this warm, peaceful corner of the Mediterranean. It was in the 1960's that the tourist boom first hit and millions of English holiday makers took up the 'package holiday' and ventured to Spain. The Spaniards in the area now depend heavily on tourism although they have retained their Spanish traditions, culture and lifestyle. One doesn't have to go far from the coast to discover the true Spain and in these little havens you could easily forget that the sea and sand were just a few kilometres away.

White villages

The white villages such as Casares, Manilva and Mijas sit high on the mountain with houses standing like little white boxes, glued to the slopes. This is the Costa del Sol that most tourists miss and these little villages are tiny pieces of paradise that have been by-passed by the holiday boom. Most have retained their Andalucian charm and every day passes the same as the last. Once you reach the villages, you feel as though you have stepped back in time. The hussle and bussle of the coast seems like it's a million miles away and the scenery is simply breathtaking.

Living on the Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol is the area in Spain with the highest concentration of foreign residents. Hundreds of thousands of foreigners have made this their home or have purchased a holiday home here. This has enabled the area to develop a perfect multi-national infrastructure, including international schools and a massive English speaking community. Many foreigners make this their home because they feel 'safe'. Violent crime is extremely rare here and you can be walking about at any time of the day or night and not feel threatened in any way. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. There is no real language barrier, therefore enabling a smooth transition when moving here to live and work. Businesses on the Costa del Sol are largely related to the tourism industry and the services required by the large number of ex-pats who live here. Many of the current ex-pat residents have successfully established their own companies here and, with modern technology being what it is, many people are leaving the 'rat race' behind and opting for a better way of life, moving to Spain and operating their businesses from the comfort of their Spanish home!
