The Costa del Sol, which stretches from Nerja to the east of Malaga to Gibraltar in the west, is appropriately named the 'sunshine coast', for it boasts a sunshine record of 325 days a year. In fact, it is now known as the California of Europe because of it's superb climate, having the most days of sun and the fewest days of rain anywhere in Europe.

 

When it does rain, usually between October and February, it pours down in a deluge - clearing the skies for more sunshine.

 

The hottest months are between July and September - it can reach 40 degrees at its peak.
