Best of golf and travel on Spain's Costa Del Sol and Andalucia

Spain's Costa Del Sol in Andalucia is one of the world's most coveted golf vacations, thanks to scores of golf courses dotted along the scenic and mountainous Mediterranean coastline. The weather here also warrants golf year round and, as the name implies, plenty of sunshine to boot.

Costa Del Sol's largest hub is Malaga, and from here you head west along the coastline through resort towns like Marbella, Sotogrande and San Roque. The golf courses get better and better as you travel west, but what makes a Spanish golf trip are the historical sights and the exquisite cuisine, mostly found in informal tapas restaurants. There are also plenty of opportunities for wine tastings, olive grove tours and much more. A golf trip to Spain has very little downtime.
