Coastal Escapes
On this adventure Gil visits the Costa del Sol...
...on the south coast of Spain, and meets his friends Juan and Carmen.
This is a place where you can snow ski in the mountains and sit on the beach in the same day. He visits a castle in Fuengirola, sees a fire in a boat, eats 'pinchitos' and discovers what a siesta is.
They go to a 'fiesta' in Mijas which is a village in the mountains. It is one of the most famous 'Pueblos Blancos'.
They spend the night up a tree in Mijas, to sleep off the paella.
Gil gets to practice his Spanish which causes some very funny moments of confusion.
He watches some flamenco dancing and gets to try two of his favourite things - chocolate and donuts. He also sees a huge bull, which almost makes him lose his tail.
🎥 Now this is the Costa del Sol at its best!
From the buzzing heart of Málaga to golden beaches, sleek golf courses, and mouth watering restaurants—this video captures why
the Costa del Sol is a total magnet for millions of visitors every year.
Sunshine, style, and a sprinkle of Spanish magic 🌞✨
Whether you're here for the culture, cocktails, or just to kick back by the Med, the Costa delivers.
No wonder it’s one of Europe’s favourite playgrounds!
⋆｡°•☁︎ Above the clowds...
the Costa del Sol is pure peace—warm breeze, salty air, and that
laid-back ‘mañana’ mood floating around like sunscreen mist.
It’s like stress gets left at baggage claim. (◡ ‿ ◡ .)
🤗Given Cabopino's reputation for being pretty open-minded...
Cabopino’s beautiful dunes are also known for being, let’s say, quite liberal — so in that context, this superb clip, created with a drone, is as innocent as it gets: just nature doing its thing and a single surfer enjoying the waves. ⛱️
Thx. Sr. Baraka!
🚁 Drones have completely transformed how we experience nature’s beauty — and this clip is no exception.
It captures a well-known spot that, while still iconic, feels a little outdated these days.
This location is close to two of Marbella’s most famous hotels: Club Marbella, where Marbella's story truly began, and Puente Romano.
In the background, you can see the majestic La Concha mountain watching over it all. 🧗
🦩Flamingos on the Costa del Sol
Yes, there are flamingos on the Costa del Sol, particularly in the Laguna de Fuente de Piedra Nature Reserve. This lagoon is home
to a large colony of flamingos, the largest in the Iberian Peninsula
and the second largest in Europe.
Flamingos are migratory birds and arrive in southern Spain in January/February, preparing for the nesting season.
While Laguna de Fuente de Piedra is the main site, you can also find flamingos in the Campillos and La Ratosa (Alameda) lagoons, as well as at the mouths of the Guadalhorce and Vélez rivers.
