Overview:
The densely populated coast of Andalusia, stretching from Almeria to Tarifa, is Europe's all-year-round favoured holiday destination, known as the Costa del Sol. It consists of a string of fine sandy beaches, where the average water temperature is 64?F (18?C), and picturesque towns have abundant tourist amenities, resorts and high-rise hotels. Attractions include zoos, bullfights, water parks, casinos and amusement parks, like the renowned Parque de Attractions Tivoli. The most popular resort town on the Costa del Sol is Torremolinos, which retains some elements of traditional Spain, although most main streets are now pedestrianised-thoroughfares filled with souvenir shops and ice-cream parlours.
Visitors can also practice the age-old art of bargaining for
trinkets, spices and perfume in one of the world's largest
bazaars, or pay a visit to the Egyptian Museum of
Antiquities, which houses treasures from
Tutankhamun's tomb and is one of the country's main
attractions.
Situated on the Nile, Egyptians arrogantly refer to Cairo as the
'Mother of all Cities'; many visitors who have
experienced its unruliness would perhaps describe it in less
endearing terms. But no matter how it goes down there is no doubt
that Cairo is as beguiling as it is messy, and its charm lies in
the blend of African, Arab and European influences, the
timelessness of the old and the energy of the present.
Getting Around:
The airport is situated between Malaga, the main city on the Costa del Sol, and the large resort of Torremolinos, on the national road N340 that connects all towns and resorts along the coast. Bus services link the coastal towns as well as the inland towns of Ronda and Granada to each other, and there is an electric train between Malaga and Fuengirola along the coast. A train also connects Ronda to Malaga.
