With an average of 320 days of sunshine a year, the Costa del Sol well deserves its name,"the Sunshine Coast." It's no wonder much of the coast has become built up with resorts and high-rise hotels. Don't despair, though, you can still find some classic Spanish experiences, whether it be the old city of Marbella or one of the smaller villages like Casares.
