Typical espetos and fried fish
When talking about gastronomy in the province of Malaga, we can’t go without mentioning pescaíto frito (fried fish) and espetos (skewered sardines). Find out the best kept secret to preparing the tastiest espeto at a cookery class thanks to the culinary espetos workshops available in the Costa del Sol.
Olive oil tourism

Wine tourism
There are so many wineries in the Costa del Sol that have kindly opened their doors to visitors, offering group activities including personalised wine tasting sessions, accompanied by typical local products to wet the appetite, and with vineyards and oak trees providing the perfect backdrop. Without doubt, a day of wine tourism will make your incentive trip stand out.
Sailing trips and races
Explore the region of Malaga’s Senda Litoral on board a sailing boat and feel the wind in your hair as you drive the boat in a team race that’ll get the adrenaline pumping. It’s a fun activity, perfect for incentive trips or team building exercises.
Adventure and action
If your team loves that rush of adrenaline and you want to plan an incentive trip for thrill-seekers, you’re in the right place as the province of Malaga has so many options. You could go paintballing with all your colleagues, go karting, canyoning, mountain climbing, rappelling, abseiling down canyons, ziplining, mountain biking, go on 4x4 rides through nature parks…There’s something for everyone.
Experiences at sea
Be a fisherman for a day in Estepona and spend the day out to sea in the area’s popular fishing area. Discover the local traditions and cultural heritage, see the fishing boats as they arrive to shore with the catch of the day and immerse yourself in the fish market and the hustle and bustle of trade. This unique experience will certainly make you appreciate that pescaíto frito the next time you eat it.
Fighting bulls
A great plan for any animal lover is to spend the day in the company of fighting bulls. That may sound scary, but don’t worry, you’ll be with a specialised guide who knows what they’re doing. They’ll tell you all about the breeding and selection process of these magnificent bulls, the mothers and their calves. When will you get another chance to see these majestic creatures up close?
Andalusian horses
The horse is one of the most emblematic animals in Spanish culture, and especially in Andalusia where the authentic Pure Spanish Horse originates from. Horse-riding is a special experience that you can do in any of the equestrian schools found in the Costa del Sol.
Forest and beach clean-ups
Do your bit for nature and help out the forests, beaches, and green spaces from the effects of climate change and pollution. You can do this in a variety of ways: competitions, scavenger hunts, educational nature activities…the result is always positive for both you and the natural environment around you.
The weather, wide range of cultural and leisure activities, gastronomy, nature…the Costa del Sol brings all these together to offer heaps of opportunities for your incentive activities that are guaranteed to motivate employees on their next trip.
