Off Peak Holidays in the Costa de Sol

If you choose to come outside the months of July and August, when it is really too hot for sightseeing, then there is plenty to do besides getting a tan on the beach or swimming in the pool. There is culture to experience and a range of historical places to visit; close to the Costa del Sol but away from the traditional 'sun and sand' holidays.

There are all sorts of festivals, both religious, notably the Easter parades and the procession of the Three Kings at Christmas, and secular, such as the Jerez Horse Fair. As well as this, many of the traditional white villages in rural Spain are within a very short drive of the coast.

Each town or city has its own historical and cultural monuments, as well as more active pursuits and traditional holiday pastimes like crazy golf.

A good way to visit the more distant towns and cities is by going on a day trip. With guides to provide information on the history and architecture, such trips can offer an opportunity to experience the true culture of the places they visit.
