Costa del Sol

Discover the Wonderful Culture and History of Nerja

14 March, 2023

The Costa del Sol is one of the most visited destinations in Spain – and for good reason. The towns and villages here are pretty, drenched in sun and often within walking distance of spectacular beaches. They’re also filled with interesting and unique culture. Some people may tend to baulk at the mention of the Costa del Sol, but in truth there is everything that the cultured traveller could possibly want – starting, of course, with amazing towns like Nerja.

8 April, 2019

Mention the words “Costa del Sol” and you’ll probably get a pretty good reaction from the family. It’s one of the most popular places in Spain for a family holiday, but with all the resorts, towns and beaches on offer, choosing exactly where you’re going to lay your buckets and beach towels can be tricky. Well, if you’re looking for fun, sun and a fantastic range of activities, beautiful Benalmádena could be your answer! This vibrant town is under half

Sunny, Sandy Days and Bold, Boozy Nights in Puerto Banús

4 March, 2019

What rhymes with party on the Costa del Sol? Puerto Banús that’s what! Even if you have to use a little poetic licence to make that literally true, this buzzing little place is one of Spain’s most favoured resorts to let it all hang out in style. While it’s long been renowned as a playground of the rich and famous, don’t be fooled: there’s just as much going on for the real people as well. If you’re looking for somewhere

Shopping in Puerto Banús

3 March, 2017

If retail therapy is a key component of your ideal vacation, then I highly recommend that you check out the glamorous marina of Puerto Banús in Marbella, Spain on the Costa del Sol. The rich and the famous flock to this luxury region throughout the year to splash their cash at the many high-end boutiques, restaurants and bars. This is all against a beautiful backdrop of dramatic mountains and a yacht-filled marina (this looks spectacular lit up at night!).

Only 48 hours to work with? Check out this two-day itinerary.

A Weekend Break in Nerja

12 February, 2017

Often referred to as the ‘jewel’ of the Costa del Sol, Nerja on the east of Spain’s most famous coast is a relatively tranquil and reassuringly Spanish destination.

Just an hour’s drive east of Málaga, set against the stunning backdrop of the Sierra Almijara, Nerja has managed to fight off the over-development of much of this stretch of coast so that, especially in the town’s low-rise heart, it remains resolutely Spanish.

Of course there are souvenir shops and it does get its fair share of day trippers but, so long as you avoid the peak summer season, you’ll be able to enjoy its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful beaches without having to share them with too many crowds.

A weekend in Nerja is a blissful combination of relaxing on a beach, swimming in the sea (sea temperatures are still a little chilly in February at around 15ºC but the water is clear and inviting for those brave enough to give it a go), and a little gentle sightseeing.

Here’s my suggested itinerary for the perfect weekend break in Nerja.

Chase the Sun to Winter Training in Malaga

6 January, 2016

With a few months of cold UK weather stretching out ahead, even the most dedicated and determined sportsperson can find staying in condition a daunting proposition. For those athletes training at an elite or semi-professional level, rolling over for that extra hour’s sleep is not an option – even on the bleakest of days. But if you’re wondering how you’re going to get through the winter period with your sporting stripes intact, there’s a much more pleasant way of doing it that will have you bouncing out of bed every day: warm weather sports training abroad. Chase the Sun and
