Costa del Sol travel guide & transfers

About Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol runs from Nerja in the east to Manilva in the west, with Málaga airport in the middle and the Sierra de Mijas sheltering it from the north. Each town has a clear character: Torremolinos and Benalmádena for value and theme parks, Fuengirola for families, Marbella and Puerto Banús for luxury, Estepona for whitewashed calm. The A-7 and AP-7 link them all, and a Costa del Sol private transfer is the only door-to-door way to reach hillside villas and golf urbanisations.

Top attractions

• Marbella's old town and the Golden Mile

• Mijas Pueblo, a white village balcony above the coast

• Caminito del Rey walkway in the El Chorro gorge

• Selwo Aventura and Benalmádena's Teleférico cable car

• Nerja Caves and the Balcón de Europa

Travel tips

• The coastal A-7 is slow in July and August; the AP-7 toll road saves 20-30 minutes west of Marbella.
• Golf resorts sit 3-8 km inland, well away from the beach towns they are named after.
• Winter is mild but evenings are cool — the sea is at its warmest in September.
