The year-round sunshine, traditional Spanish towns and lovely beaches along this 90 mile stretch of coastline have made the Costa Del Sol a popular holiday destination for many years. But ever since the first golf course was built in this area in 1925, amateurs and professionals alike have also come to here to play and the industry has grown and grown. Awarded best European Golf destination in 2019, the coast generates well over a million pounds a year and, understandably, the area has been dubbed the Costa Del Golf.
