Costa Del Sol & Spain:
Spain's `sunshine coast' is one of Europe's favourite holiday destinations. With an average of 320 days of blue sky annually, it is perfect as a summer holiday or as a winter destination for golfers, walkers and those wishing to pursue out -door activities. Families are particularly well catered for, with myriad attractions, restaurants and of course miles of beaches. Children are not just tolerated but welcomed by the friendly Spanish people.
Despite the march of development, the area still has the ambience of Andalucía, the most `Spanish' of all regions and you do not have to venture far from your holiday home to encounter local ferias, fiestas and romerias - the scent of Jasmine is in the air, inexpensive wine is flowing freely- come and enjoy!
Mijas & Fuengirola:
This is the most family orientated of all the Costa del Sol resorts with a variety of children's attractions on the doorstep including the ever popular Aqua Parque Mijas and Fuengirola Zoo , one of the most modern in Spain and well worth a visit even for adults.
The small village of La Cala de Mijas has a lovely child friendly seafront with lifeguards in summer, the beach is very clean with children's play areas and also wheelchair access right on to the sand. Just off the beach is the 11th century watchtower with an interesting display of artefacts and old photos of the coast prior to development with a great view from the top of the tower.
Central Fuengirola is lively in the summer and people congregate on the promenade in the evenings, you can see street artistes doing all kinds of art, including fantastic sand modelling and musicians performing.
There are a wide variety of excellent restaurants with 3 course set menus for around 6-7 Euro and lots of bars from Chic to Karaoke.
