Where
Eight towns along the coast
Marbella
The considered centre of the coast: old-town patios, golden-mile estates and long, unhurried lunches.
Puerto Banús
Marina life at its most polished, with berths, boutiques and late tables.
Estepona
Flower-lined streets, a working port and a slower, more local rhythm.
Sotogrande
Polo fields, pine shade and one of Europe's most private residential estates.
Benahavís
A mountain village of restaurants and river valleys, minutes from the sea.
Mijas
Whitewashed hillside and wide views across the bay.
Fuengirola
A long promenade, family beaches and everyday coastal life.
Málaga
The region's cultural capital: museums, rooftops and a serious food city.
