Costa del Sol: Encounter the Laziness and Passion of the Mediterranean

【Opening】
In the sunny paradise of southern Spain—Andalusia's Costa del Sol, 300 days of sunshine, endless golden beaches, whitewashed hilltop villages, and the azure Mediterranean weave an intoxicating tapestry. This is Europe's favorite holiday destination and your secret escape from the everyday.

🌊 【Must-Experience】The Lazy Charm and Vibrant Energy of Costa del Sol
1. **Málaga**
Stroll through Picasso's hometown, feel the artistic DNA at the Picasso Museum, and climb to Gibralfaro Castle for panoramic views of the port and city.
At dusk, sip sangria on La Malagueta Beach as the sunset paints the Mediterranean red.

2. **Mijas**
Get lost in this pristine white cliffside village, ride donkeys through flower-lined alleys, and snap postcard-perfect photos from the lookout points with endless sea and sky.

3. **Marbella**
Discover Puerto Banús, the glamorous marina loved by the wealthy, where yachts, luxury boutiques, and palm-lined avenues define the "European Miami."
In the old town's Orange Square, orange trees and Moorish-style architecture hide Andalusia's timeless charm.

4. **Nerja**
Explore the Balcón de Europa, where transparent sapphire waters crash beneath the cliffs, and nearby Cueva de Nerja caves hide prehistoric paintings.

5. **Sun and Surf Extravaganza**
Laze on the beaches of Fuengirola or Torremolinos, or ignite your holiday with adrenaline—try surfing or windsurfing.

🍽️ 【Andalusian Feast for the Senses】
- **Espetos de Sardinas**: Charcoal-grilled sardine skewers, the smoky essence of Málaga's beaches.
- **Gazpacho**: Chilled tomato soup, summer's salvation.
- **Berenjenas con Miel**: Fried eggplant drizzled with honey, a magical sweet-and-savory snack.
- **A glass of Fino sherry**: Paired with tapas, lightly tipsy in the coastal breeze.
