Enjoying the Costa del Sol with children
Have a wonderful holiday with your children with this brief guide on Málaga and Marbella. You will fall in love with the Costa del Sol.
The Costa del Sol has it all: beaches, natural sites and great food. It is the perfect place to travel to with children, as you can combine sightseeing and relaxing on the beach.
What to see in Málaga
Málaga has some notorious monuments, such as the Alcazaba –one of the most important Muslim sites in Spain–, and the castle of Gibralfaro, erected in the 14th century. If walking all around Málaga sounds a bit too tiring, you can use the ´hop on hop off´ buses, which stop at the city’s top sites. These include the harbour, the Pablo Ruiz Picasso Foundation and the cathedral.
After a long day of sightseeing, you can visit the amusement park Tivoli, in Benalmádena, where the little ones can have fun and enjoy the shows!
The most famous attractions in the Costa del Sol are of course its beaches. La Malagueta and Pedregalejo are perfect to spend the day lying under the sun and eating pescaíto frito (fried fish).
The beach of Puerto Banús, in Marbella, is also beautiful and offers a wide variety of services and water activities and sports.
What to see in Marbella
There are countless things to do in Marbella with children, such as riding a beach buggy or a bike along the promenade. Some of the top sites in Marbella are the old city, the Plaza de los Naranjos and the Avenida del Mar.
