The Costa del Sol is a region in the south of the Spanish peninsula, in the Community of Andalusia, between Gibraltar and Almería. It is located in the provinces of Málaga, Cádiz, and Granada. The Costa del Sol lies between two lesser-known coastal areas, the Costa de la Luz and the Costa Tropical in Andalusia, between Gibraltar and Almería. The area is sometimes called the Florida of Europe. The Costa del Sol offers kilometers of beaches and also boasts beautiful, smaller bays.

Although Granada, Seville, Cordoba, and Malaga aren't all close to the Costa del Sol, tour operators often offer trips to these famous cities. In Granada, the Alhambra is a must-see, while in Seville, the cathedral and Columbus's tomb are worth a visit.
