Beach notes: Sandy beaches throughout. The sea is calm and warm in summer. Some urban beaches in Torremolinos are busier — head to Benalmádena for a quieter option.
Journey tips: 2.5-hour flight to Málaga, then mostly flat motorway transfers. Very low risk.
The Costa del Sol stretches along southern Spain's Andalusian coast and offers over 300 days of sunshine per year. It's a mature, well-developed destination with outstanding family facilities.
