Bena Vista, Costa del Sol, Spain

Spain's Sunshine Coast has something for everyone, from the palatial yachts in the marina at Marbella to the splendour of ancient Granada.

Golden beaches, the finest climates – it is the holiday destination of the rich and famous. However, a few miles inland you will find traditional Spain with tiny well-preserved villages in the Sierra Nevada and Bermeja mountain ranges.

Seville and Córdova are accessible, and a visit to Jerez for a tour of a local sherry-producing vineyard is highly recommended.
