Golf Holiday Boost For Spanish Holidays

Article Written By: Osborne

Spain is benefitting from golf holidays as those keen on the sport head to the Costa del Sol and islands like Menorca to pursue their favourite pastime. One region known for great golf getaways is the "Coast of the Sun," otherwise known as the Costa del Sol. Located in the south of Spain, the Costa del Sol is in the autonomous community of Andalucia, and encompasses coastal towns and communities along the Mediterranean coast of Malaga province. The city of Malaga is in this popular tourist region.

The region is home to approximately 60 lush golf resorts from Sotogrande in the west to Velez Malaga in the east. Combined, these golf destinations contribute significantly to Spain's tourist economy. The lure for golfers on the Costa del Sol is the dry, sunny weather conducive to pleasurable playing. Golfing in the winter is the perfect antidote to the grey, cold climates of northern Europe.

With golf's popularity growing significantly in the past 20 years, so Spain's influx of tourist euros grows too. Golf vacation providers work hard to attract clientele their way. For golfers, some providers offer personalised green fee booking at some of the finest courses in Costa del Sol and other regions. Competition for holidaymakers' euros is intense, so bargains await those looking to golf in the region.

Tourists descend on Malaga airport and for Minorca flights Mahon Airport, a bustling hub of activity, and major employment provider. Taxis and public transportation also benefit from the diverse holidaymakers who make their way to this vibrant resort region. With golfers galore arriving on the Costa del Sol, attractions such as the Benalmadena Aerial Cable Car benefit. The Picasso Museum in Malaga and the shops along the street of San Miguel in Torremolinos also benefit. And for Minorca similarly the whole island benefits.

East of Malaga there are courses such as the Baviera Golf Club and the Anoreta Golf Club. The Guadalhorce, Lauro, Malaga Parador and El Candado golf clubs are available in Malaga for golf enthusiasts. There's also the Torrequebrada Golf Club in Benalmadena Costa and the Alhaurin Golf facility between Mijas and Coin in Costa del Sol.

The province of Malaga has the most extensive network of hotels in Spain. The area offers other activities for golfers to engage in when away from the links. Water sports are popular and 11 marinas exist on the Costa del Sol. A pulsating nightlife, top-notch restaurants and stylish boutiques and shops contribute to the ambience of the region.

Golf continues to refresh tourists and the Spanish economy. The sport provides enjoyment and employment throughout the region. With inviting and challenging golf courses and more, Spain is scoring a hole-in-one with holidaymakers and Spain's residents both on the mainland and islands like Menorca.
