2. Go camping 

If you really want to get outdoors, go camping! Here, you can fall asleep under the stars and wake up to the soothing sounds of Mother Nature. When you go camping, you come back rejuvenated. Costa del Sol is filled with a variety of campsites, whether that’s near the sea, on a park or landlocked in the middle of rural Spain.

 

3. Water sports

Springtime is perfect for watersports. Try windsurfing, paddleboarding, kayaking or something else. The water is beautiful in Costa del Sol!

 

4. Get a bird's eye view of the city

Want to see Costa del Sol from up above? Hop on the Benalmádena Cable Car and take a ride up to the top of Mount Calamorro. When you get there, there’s even more to do! Mount Calamorro hosts a variety of walking and hiking trails, falconry, controlled communities of hawks, golden eagles and owls. The views are undeniable—you can see everything from the Sierra Nevada and Gibraltar to the African coast.
