Make the most of your stay! The Costa del Sol has a huge range of sights and delights to enjoy, from historical monuments, to great sporting facilities to areas of outstanding natural beauty such as UNESCO world heritage sites. We've pieced together some of our favourites for you to enjoy when you are next on the Costa del Sol, Spain - how many of these sights and delights have you seen?

1. Ronda - a beautiful old Spanish town with stunning views, set in the mountains of Andalucia.

2. Puerto Banus - treat yourself to a day of star spotting portside where all the celebrities hangout and where every other car is a Ferrari.

3. Sierra Nevada ski resort - just 2 hours drive from Malaga is Andalucía's very own ski resort.

4. Club Municial de Hielo, Benalmadena - try your hand at Ice Skating on Benalmadena's brand new Ice Rink, the only one in Andalucia.

5. Mijas Pueblo is an authentic Andalusian town and you can take a donkey or pony trap ride to see all it has to offer at a most leisurely pace.

6. A true wonder? The Alhambra Palace in Granada is acknowledged as one of the 7 modern wonders of the world - well worth a look, but don't forget to book :-)

7. Wonky Wonder - known as 'the wonky' in Spanish, Malaga's Cathedral is so named as it has a tower at only 3 of it's 4 corners.
