Costa del Sol Occidental, Administrative division in Malaga Province, Spain
The Costa del Sol Occidental stretches along the Mediterranean coast with nine municipalities, including Marbella, Fuengirola, and Torremolinos, covering 802 square kilometers.
The region transformed from traditional fishing villages into a developed coastal area during the 1950s, marking the beginning of mass tourism in southern Spain.
Local festivals throughout the municipalities celebrate regional traditions with seafood gastronomy, flamenco performances, and traditional Andalusian music.
The area connects through the A-7 coastal highway and provides regular bus services between towns, while Malaga Airport offers international flight connections.
Foreign residents make up 31 percent of the population, with significant communities from the United Kingdom, Germany, and France contributing to its international character.
