Family fun
If you’re planning to bring the family with you to the Costa del Sol, you can look forward to an adventure that has something for everyone. Here in one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations, there really is plenty to keep you all occupied. And of course it can all be enjoyed in a climate that is synonymous with having fun.
The major seaside resorts such as Torremolinos, Marbella and Fuengirola offer a superb range of water-sports, not to mention swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. Activities such as paddle-boarding, sea kayaking, snorkelling, para-sailing and kite-surfing are perfect for a warm summer afternoon.
Inland, well away from the buzz of the tourist trail, the gorgeous Andalusian countryside lends itself perfectly to long family walks amid the picturesque scenery. Picnics in shady spots are always a delight, so be sure to check the rural areas around Coín, Alhaurin el Grande and Benahavís.
There are plenty of theme parks and water parks around here for perfect family days out. They include Aqualand in Torremolinos, Tivoli World and Selwo Marina in Benalmádena, Aqua Velis in Torre del Mar and Aqua Mijas in Mijas Costa. You’ll also find some excellent zoos here, including Bioparc in Fuengirola and Selwo Aventura in Estepona.
Dining out with the family is always a pleasure
The locals like to eat out late in the evening with all the family, so bars, tapas joints and restaurants are very family-friendly as the sun goes down. Beachfront eateries are particularly popular, because the children can play with friends as the parents have a drink and wait for the meal to arrive. Moments like this are what you move to a new country for, after all.
If your children enjoy playing sport, your new life on the Costa del Sol will be perfect for them. There are a number of top quality leisure centres to be found here, and sporting facilities throughout the region are superb. Whether they’re looking to play football, golf, tennis or anything else, you’ll find the ideal environment in which to encourage their endeavours.
Spain in general and the Costa del Sol in particular are geared towards spending quality time with the family.
