Cheap Sleeps on the Costa del Sol
Cheap Sleeps on the Costa del Sol
The Costa del Sol, or sun coast, is a stretch of intermittent tourist-friendly towns, cities and beaches along the Mediterranean in the Andalucian region of Spain.
But from the eastern-most city of Malaga, to one of Europe’s oldest cities Cadiz, the Costa del Sol is easily accessible and offers tourists a sun-soaked cannon of cheap tourism and entertainment.
Marbella
This Spanish hideaway is a blend of rich extravagance and budget holiday excess, providing tourists with a plethora of bars and clubs alongside beautiful beaches.
Spared the functional architectural excess of some of its neigboring tourist resorts, travelers on a budget can venture a little further afield in search of their Marbella hostel, perhaps preferring access to the local hill villages of Ronda or the Puerto Banus yacht marina than the busy seafront.
But for the budget reveller, there is many a cheap and stylish Marbella hostel located more centrally. For a glimpse of the city’s history, many choose to bed down close to the Old Town’s Orange Square.
Malaga
The second largest Adalucian city of Malaga is a cheap but exiting cultural gem. As a cheap tourist getaway and birthplace of revered 20th century artist Picasso, it manages to finely balance its cultural status with a cosmopolitan nightlife.
For fun, food and light-hearted holiday activities, hostels in Malaga located along the seafront and streets of Pedregalejo are within easy reach of bars, restaurants and clubs.
As a hive of activity, the city’s information centres are stocked with the most sought-after activities and seasonal goings-on in the unlikely event travelers are left with nothing to do.
But for a more refined experience, the city’s Moorish castles are a historical highlight, while the remote Alcazaba provides stupendous views of the city.
Other higlights include the exclusive exhibitions of the Picasso Museum and the city’s central attraction, the Malaga Cathedral.
Torremolinos
Located between Malaga Bay and the Mijas Mountains, Torremolinos provides easy access to both nature and society. But this once a small fishing village has undergone a dramatic transformation and is now one of the best destinations for budget travelers.
Hostels in Torremolinos are equally cheap, but the best locations are undoubtedly along the beach where most of the action happens. Nightlife remains the prime focus here, with a mass of bars, clubs and cafes catering for the town’s year round tourist cohort.
The fast-paced nature of this resort is evident in the wide variety of fun things to do on a budget. Thrill seekers have access to busy sandy beaches offering windsurfing, waterskiing and dolphin-watching. Food is in no short supply either, as seafront food stands compete amicably with established restaurants for customers.
