The Land Of The Sun

By: Property Scout

While I'm sure you're aware of the land of the free, it's a pretty common phrase, have you ever heard of the land of the sun? Well, you may not have, but then again you probably have at some point. The Costa del Sol, whose name means "Coast of the sun", has recently been becoming rather well known as an excellent destination, both for holidays and retirement.

Whether you intend to purchase a holiday home, or are simply looking for a good vacation spot, the south coast of Spain has whatever you could want. In most cases, when you want somewhere to go for a holiday, there is some reason not to visit a particular area. this is not the case in Spain, though.

Any holiday activity you might be interested in is available, from lounging on the beach to a night at a theatre. In fact, if the beach is really what you want, you might consider going in the winter- it never really gets cold, but there are a lot less tourists to contend with. Certainly you'll never see any snow. Unless, that is, you want to... then you can head to one of the nearby mountains, for whatever snow sport you wish.

To be honest with you, I suppose that there is one downside. The countryside is so attractive, you might not be willing to leave. Which would be a real tragedy for whatever company you work for in your home town. To give you one example, the Costa del Sol city of Marbella is renowned for its quality nightlife, including high class theatres which are (naturally) showing an ever-changing selection of shows.

In addition to the more common holiday attractions, which you can find almost anywhere else, Costa del Sol has a great number of other holiday activities for you. I've already referred tot eh mountains, which offer not only exceptional snow sports in the winter, but are also a good place for biking, hiking, or climbing during the warmer months.

As you head down towards the sea, there are more options you can take. You could go on a safari, or visit a zoo, or just learn to ride a horse. Plus, there's Tivoli world. One of Spain's largest amusement parks, your inner child will never forgive you if you miss it. If a more sedentary pursuit is your thing, you can relax at one of the huge number of golf courses. The Costa del sol is host to some of the best golf courses in the world, with something guaranteed suitable for anyone.

Then down by the sea there is every watersport imaginable, from water-skiing to scuba diving to swimming with dolphins, although I'm not sure that qualifies as a sport! Plus, from the shores of Costa del Sol, you can see some incredible scenery. The nearby mountains fill the horizon, while across the water the shores Africa are visible.

If you only have the chance to take one long holiday, I can absolutely reccomend that you take it in Spain. Costa del Sol is a beautiful area, with plenty to do, and I can guarantee you wont be dissapointed- just allow yourself plenty of time to sample it all. To make it even better, it can now be reached by a direct flight from almost every major city, and if you are wanting an investment you might--just--be able to pick up a place there before the price goes through the roof.
