Due to (average) 300 days of sun shine each year and an (expect) climate that moderates its summers, and winters, the Costa del Sol is the mecca for those seeking sea side fun. (stretch) along the coast of the Mediterranean from the area of Gibraltar to Malaga, the seaside resorts of the Costa del Sol play host to tourist and "snow birds", many from Britain.
Most of the Costa del Sol reminds me of costal Florida but with mountains in the background. Like costal Florida, a major highway runs down the coast connecting a number of small, continuous, almost (distinguish) from each other, (urbanize) communities.
It is easy to understand why this is an area (favore) for vacations/holidays by (Europe), particularly the (Britain). Sun, beach, golf, an active night life, and a number of theme parks, bring in the (youth) and old to the area.
For USA (travel) seeking to experience the culture and history of Spain the Costa del Sol is not the ideal place to find it. Yes, you will hear Spanish (speak), you can have some excellent meals, you will even run in to natives enjoying their (sea) holiday. The good news is, for what Costa del Sol lacks as a Spanish experience you can easily find by (travel) just a few miles north in to the mountain by visiting Ronda and other non-costal villages.
If you are (spend) a number of days in Spain, the Costa del Sol can provide a relaxing respite from the road, (particular) if you are traveling with children. Just keep in mind, most resorts have minimum stays, usually 3 or 5 days. Also beaches become packed in late July, August, and early September. As some resorts also host major golf events, cost of hotel rooms for some resorts do not drop (drama) in the off season.
