Nights on the coast

NIGHTS ON THE COAST

There is a last reference to the complementary offer which is considered to be very important for the tourist sector: fun.

The nights on the Costa del Sol transcended internationally, already in the 60’s and 70’s as one of the most significant attractions. It isn’t necessary to remind the amount of personalities - film stars, literaries, politicians, governors, kings, sheikhs, emirs, singers, and the particular pleiad of professional playboys - who discovered the delights of the Costa del Sol nights in premises which made history. Today, and along the last decades, fun is still one of the strengths of the coast because when the afternoon ends and the night arrives, the Costa del Sol opens up a whole range of possibilities which are difficult to equal in other tourist places: to dine in a good restaurant overlooking the sea, later dancing until the early hours of the morning, going to gamble a few thousand pesetas in either of the two casinos - Nueva Andalucía and Torrequebrada - watching a flamenco show, sitting before an international show in a night club - Fortuna in Torrequebrada, is probably one of the best in Spain - , or getting lost in the noise of any of the more than a hundred discotheques which mark the whole coast. It is a world thought of and made to satisfy all tastes and economic possibilities; for all ages and amalgam of nationalities who visit the area.

Although there are always hidden corners which are a delight to discover, there are certain areas on the coastal stretch which have been formed along the years as especially attractive areas and among which are the marinas such as José Banús and Benalmádena Marina; peculiar areas such as Pueblo Blanco in Torremolinos, each one with its particular clients, as well as in certain premises on the so-called Golden Mile, between Marbella and Puerto Banús, with the beach clubs and discotheques in the large hotels. The marina in Estepona, the promenade in Fuengirola at the marina, the Solymar square in Benalmádena, the historical centre in Málaga, as well as the Reding avenue, Pedregalejo and El Palo, more small areas of the municipalities of the eastern coast, form the attraction poles of different national and foreign publics, generally young, and anxious to live up the night life.
