Málaga’s 10 best blue flag beaches
The Costa del Sol is the favourite tourist destination par excellence of millions of people during the summer season. This is no surprise given what it has to offer: over 300 sunny days a year, an average temperature of around 20°C and 115 miles of coast. And if we add to this the wide range of refreshment stalls and restaurants offering the best of Malagan gastronomy, traditional espetos de sardinas or grilled sardines and fried fish, which often features anchovies, you can see why waves of tourists leave their homes each year to come and sunbathe or have a beer while enjoying views of the Mediterranean.
