the holiday in Tenerife we won has been changed to Costa del Sol Anyone suggest what to do rather than getting hammered in the bars of Torre & Benal? Mr Ali doesnt like loud music (its his age)
Lots of nice beaches</p> Cable car Benalmadena</p> Castle Fuengirola</p> Gibraltar</p> Malaga Shopping</p> Get the ferry from Malaga to Benalmadena</p> Walk from Benalmadena to Torremolinos along the front, then walk up the steps and get the train back</p> Take a coach tour to Ronda - beautiful</p> Catch a train from Malaga to Sevilla and spend the day there - the journey itself is spectacular through the mountains.</p> I love the Costa Del Sol I've been about 8 times, you've just got to get out of the tacky bits - to be honest there aren't nearly as many tacky places now as what there used to be.</p>
You could visit Granada or Seville or Cordoba. Malaga city is quite interesting. Ronda is a good day out too. Depending on where you're based, it could be good to visit Ronda via the scenic railway. On the eastern side of the costa (where I am) it's much quieter. Nerja is the main tourist town, but it's nothing like Torremolinos or Fuengirola. The caves at Nerja are well worth visiting too. If you hire a car and head inland, the lakes at El Chorro and La Vinuela are good. You can have lunch on the balcony of the Camping Bar (everyone knows it) and look across Lake Vinuela to The mountain La Maroma. It's a fantastic sight.
Ronda is a good day out,if you want to go to the Alhambra in Granada book a time on the website before you go its worth visiting.Malaga castle is worth the climb up(or take the bus) for the view of Malaga and the football stadium.Marbella Orange Square and old town for a meal or drive up to Benahavis for a meal........personally I'd give Fuengarola a miss,particularly at night
No control over accomodation cos we won it & destination already been changed. Usually hire car and will go out at night where ever is near accom
RE: No control over accomodation stayed in fuengirola last year and personally it there aint much to it, unless you like drinking and geting pestered by immingrants selling crap (knock of dvd's etc) do you konw where you are staying? I'd recommend a visit to Gibraltar, as its a gud day out
Grenada, Alhambra Palace..smallish city however Cordoba, cathedral inside a mosque, a more interesting city in my opinion Seville, second largest church in Christendom, Royal Palace another example of Moorish architecture. Away from the tourist areas some good shopping if you're into that type of thing. I found Ronda uninteresting. If you're going Easter week then you will witness a religious/cultural festival the like of which you've never seen. The Feria starts after Easter. Somehow I don't think you're into any of all this
