Costa del Sol

If you’re dreaming of whitewashed villages, tapas, flamenco, and a quintessentially “Spanish” life, then Malaga or Marbella are for you. Here’s it’s almost always sunny, with milder winters and beach days any time of the year. It’s no wonder this region is so popular with Scandinavians and Northern Europeans, as well as couples and the recently retired. For those looking for a bit more space, this area tends to be less populated and condensed, so you can have your large dream home with sea views, and your garden with orchards, too.
