I am totally passionate about the Costa del Sol and Andalusia. It is totally geared up for holiday makers with it’s blue flag beaches, excellent weather and resorts that can cater for all. But it’s so much more. The Andalusian peninsula where the Costa de Sol sits has an amazing 3000 years of history. During that time it’s been home to the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Vandals, the goths, the moors, the Christians followed by 36 years under Franco”s fascist state rule before becoming a democratic state in 1978. All these rulers brought there own culture, architecture and culinary specialties to the region.
This youtube channel takes a look at all of what the region has to offer. The attractions, the resorts, the history, the day trips and the culinary delights. The main website www.Yourcostadelsolguide.com has more information including google maps to every location on the video’s. These video’s will give you a good insight to the costa del sol.
@@marton349 yes. I made a part 3 video on how to do that and what to do at stations that do not have the turnstile’s in place. It’s worth watching because if you do not close the journey down properly then you will pay the full amount. Here is a link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zePHFXzPOn8.htmlsi=ord427eI3LT7Bsdx
I stayed their in 2019 just before covid. Im staying again in October carnt wait. It sats im in a side view room, stayed facing the sea/ beach last time, im hoping im able to see the beach and sea.
Sunny Beach is one of the few that i have not reviewed yet in Benalmadena. Its location is great, close to Santa Ana beach, Paloma park and Selwo Marina. There is easy access on to the Promenade which ends at the Benalmadena marina. So no problem with the Location. As for the Aparthotel, it’s s a 2 star and looking at the reviews they are good but facilities are an issue. All in all it’s a good budget accomodation and would definitely consider it. Hope this helps.
we stayied in this hotel in march on arriving the TV was broke the sink plug was broke and all week it rained we asked the hotel 4 times to put the heating on and they didnt. i had to wear my jeans and bobble hat in bed. instead of them putting the heating on we was offered extra blankets ... my mum is 84 years old and it wasnt plesant for her the cold.... in the breakfast and dinner room there is a microwave to heat your food up as there is no hot plates.. we had to phone down almost every day for our room to be cleaned.... it was not a plesant stay i doubt we will stay in this hotel again they are just out to give you as less as possible to get profit
Wow I’m really surprised. That’s rated as one of the best hotels in Fuengirola. The weather has been bad recently but that’s no excuse as the hotel is open all year round so it’s used to the cooler days. I will bare that in mind when I next review it. Thank you for your comment
@@yourcostadelsolguidecom They had all week to put the heating on the only thing i can think they was cutting back on there heating bill. when we went for christmas they didnt switch the heating on till 3am in the morning
Hi found you with your torremolinos market day. Is the market still on Thursdays ? We are coming on the 19th of may so would be going on the 23rd may. Is the market running yet ?
Hi the Market in Torremolinos is held on a Thursday all year around. The only times the markets do not run are when the fair is in town. Hope this helps.
I have just returned from Fuengirola after a week in Los Boliches. It was a most disappointing holiday where it was raining on arrival and frankly rained evermore, increasing in intensity every day. I couldn't go anywhere nor do much more than weave strategically around bars and restaurants while trying to avoid the risk of another soaking. I found the Thai restaurant i chose on one evening grossly over priced and the food quite tasteless and frankly bland. Doubt i'll go back. Thinking of spending more time at home rather than risk another Easter in the pouring rain because i can do that at home for free. 😢
That’s a real shame as for the rain that the largest downpour in 2 years. The reservoirs were down to 7% 2 weeks ago and water pressure has been turned down during the night. They are now at 30% and it looks like the weather front has died down now. Doesn’t help you in know. Would like to know which Thai restaurant you went to as there are several in Los Boliches. When the sun shines there’s no better place shame you had a bad experience
Not sure but I will be in Benalmadena next week and will have a look. The renovation is huge I’ve been watching the work over the last few months. If I remember I will include it on my next walk.
Thank you for this great review.We are going to the Hotel Barracuda in September it really does look good.I am now working my way through all your videos of the surrounding area.I also like your review of the train service on The Costa Del Sol that we will use when we are on holiday.
You have pronounced the name of the hotel wrong the vowels in Spanish are A=Ahh E=Echo I+ EE O=Osca U=Ooh and people say Benalmadeena and that’s wrong have some respect for the Spanish and Spain and pronounce names and words properly please Respeto elos españolas
