The * MA-22* will take you through the Churriana district, to connect to the * MA-20* , which will lead to all the major routes along the south coast. When on the * N-340 * you will pass the Malaga-Este area, which will connect to the * A-7 motorway* , the road that leads to the city of Murcia.

Sixt Tip

The Costa Del Sol is known for its luxurious Marbella hotels, busy beaches, and bustling resorts. But lots of the region’s best gems are hidden away from the tourist areas along the coast. Picking up a rental vehicle allows you to take a trip off the beaten track into the countryside, or even to the wonderful historic city of Seville. Make sure to pack your sun cream though, as this land-locked area often has summer temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celsius. .

The Costa Del Sol is an ideal choice for a family holiday, as most hotels in the area are extremely family-friendly. With kids' clubs, entertainment, and swimming pool complexes filled with slides and rides, there's plenty to keep youngsters entertained day and night.

Sightseeing Destinations

There are lots of interesting sights to see and activities to do on the sunny Costa Del Sol. Beautiful beaches are ten a penny on this long stretch of coast, and most are lined with busy tavernas and pretty souvenir shops. Luxe-lovers may want to take in a pool-party at one of the region's many 5-star hotels; bag a sun lounger and keep your eyes peeled for the many celebs that frequent the area. The region has all the other hallmarks of a great Mediterranean resort, including delicious local food, from tapas to paella, as well as simple home cooked dishes for kids.
