You can then use your car to reach your Costa del Sol accommodation and explore the coastal resorts using the N340 coastal road, a road that runs the length of the region and which connects all of the major towns and cities in the Costa del Sol. Just remember to hire one with aircon as the Costa del Sol weather can be rather hot!
