What is the Costa del Sol “about” as far as you’re concerned? Ask a lot of people, and the answer might seem obvious: sun, sea, sangria… But this coastal region of southern Spain isn’t merely a place to set up your sun lounger and feel grains of sand between your toes as you while away the hours on the beach. That’s because it also throws up no shortage of more ‘unusual’ attractions, which you’ll regret not including in your itinerary if you overlook them. And of course, our own Málaga Airport private transfers here at Simply Shuttles can make it a quicker and easier process for you to experience them in person.

1. What is the Costa del Sol “about” as far as you’re concerned? Ask a lot
of people, and the answer might seem obvious: sun, sea, sangria…
But this coastal region of southern Spain isn’t merely a place to set up
your sun lounger and feel grains of sand between your toes as you
while away the hours on the beach. That’s because it also throws up no
shortage of more ‘unusual’ attractions, which you’ll regret not including
in your itinerary if you overlook them.
And of course, our own Málaga Airport private transfers here at
Simply Shuttles can make it a quicker and easier process for you to
experience them in person.
So, let’s take a closer look at some of those must-not-miss sights and
sounds that you might not initially think of when planning your trip to
this part of Andalucía.
Caminito del Rey
Not only is the 100ft El Chorro gorge a visual stunner and a geological
marvel, but it also has a captivating history; a walkway was first
constructed along its steep walls in the early 20th century, but as the
years went on, it gradually fell into disrepair and became known as one
of the world’s most hazardous paths.
Five deaths over the course of 1999 and 2000 prompted the authorities
to act, and in recent years, new, much safer boardwalks have been
installed above the old pathway. So, while it’s not quite as scary a
terrain to negotiate as it once was, this is still an utterly stunning Costa
del Sol attraction.
5 Of The Less Conventional Attractions You Can
Find On The Costa Del Sol -Simply Shuttles

2. Centre Pompidou Málaga
Even those of you reading this who are experienced visitors to art galleries
around Europe are likely to immediately think of the Centre Pompidou as
being a Parisian attraction, rather than a Spanish one.
In 2015, however, that situation changed slightly, with the establishment of
the Centre Pompidou Málaga. It is housed in the instantly recognisable
multicoloured ‘El Cubo’, and gives Spaniards and visitors to Spain a taste of
the renowned contemporary arts centre without the need to cross the
border. Works of 20th and 21st-century art are put on display here, sourced
from the Centre Pompidou’s extensive collection
Restaurante Caserío de San Benito
A lot of people turn to our team at Simply Shuttles in order to arrange
restaurant transfers, or to enable them to reach their favourite Andalucian
museums quicker. But why choose between visiting a museum or a
restaurant on your next journey around the region, when you can have…
both at once?
This is what the excellent Caserío de San Benito serves up at Autovía de
Málaga. The eatery itself is set in a farmhouse with a history dating back
more than two centuries. When you are interested in sampling delectable
grilled meat, pork products, and rice dishes on an enchanting rural
backdrop, there really is no reason to look elsewhere in this part of Spain.

3. Bioparc Fuengirola
Technically, Bioparc is a zoo, but not quite the kind of zoo you might have
known when visiting one as a child. Instead, it represents what is
effectively a new model of park, in which animals reside in a faithful
recreation of their natural habitat.
And as a visitor to Bioparc Fuengirola, you will feel immersed in that
habitat, as you experience the animals as if you were in Madagascar,
South-east Asia, the Indo-Pacific, or Equatorial Africa. More than 200
animal species live here, with many of them endangered or at risk of
becoming endangered
Chamber of Secrets Torremolinos
Attending a theatre show might not seem like the most obvious reason to
head to the Costa del Sol, but it perhaps ought to be, if Chamber of Secrets
in happening Torremolinos is anything to go by.
How can one sum it up? Well, let’s simply call it an all-inclusive, fun-filled
evening out encompassing the best music, comedy, magic, mind-reading,
illusion, puppetry, and escapes, as delivered by a cast of super-talented
performers. It’s a cabaret extravaganza for all the family, and sure to be
the most memorable night of your trip to Torremolinos, or even the wider
Costa del Sol.
There you have it – five relatively unusual sources of fun and excitement
not to miss when you come to Andalucia and take advantage of our
