For The Sports-Inclined Amongst You....

Golf:

The Costa del Sol is home to so many top golf clubs that it has also been given the name, the Costa del Golf. Players can be sure of well-maintained courses set amidst idyllic scenery and of good weather virtually all year round. Although the area has been frequented by many European golfers for a long time now, it was the tournaments held in Valdarama that first attracted the attention of the international golfing scene to this region. The demand is so great that many new courses have been laid out and the most popular ranges have to be booked months in advance.

More tourists than Spaniards play golf on the Costa del Sol. A recent survey has indeed shown that 80% of all international golf tourists have played on the Costa del Sol. Many golf clubs stage tournaments all through the year. Therefore it is advisable to telephone in advance to inquire about availability. During the summer months, some golf courses arrange special offers for green fees. And many clubs, because of their great popularity with tourists, now have English and German-speaking staff.

Whether it was Steffi Graf or Boris Becker, all the stars of the tennis circuit have often trained here and at some time or another they all return. The courts have been so designed that, even at the height of summer, sufficient shade is available and a cool breeze comes in off the sea.

Water Sports:

Diving, sailing, windsurfing, kite surfing...

Skiing And Snowboarding:

The Sierra Nevada lies directly behind Granada and is the highest skiing region of Europe. Skiing dressed in a t-shirt while looking down on the continent of Africa is nothing unusual here. Snow cannons are at hand to ensure that enough snow is available. For more information, click here..
