Costa del Sol Map
The Costa del Sol is more than the resort strip it is known for. Málaga at the centre is a working city with three major museums; east toward Nerja the mountains close in and the coast turns to cliff and cove; west it is continuous development to Estepona. Ten minutes inland in any direction the landscape becomes white villages and sierra.
