The beach in summer can be an important factor in deciding where to stay during the summer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Large number of bars and restaurants<\/strong>: Gastronomy was second on the list of tourist concerns. A destination with a wide range of restaurants and bars and a stable weather will undoubtedly contribute to the final decision.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Proximity to the airport<\/strong>: When you go on holiday, be thankful that your destination is not too far from the airport. The comfort of both arriving and returning to the airport adds up to many points.*<\/li>\n<li><strong>Proximity to the city centre<\/strong>: The proximity to the capital is a great benefit for the tourist. To add to the itinerary a multitude of places to walk and monuments to visit is a plus to be taken into account.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cultural offer and activities<\/strong>: During the last years this municipality is experiencing an important growth in its cultural offer. Every year there are more and more tourist oriented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/holidays\/torremolinos-holidays.php\">events and activities in Torremolinos<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"small\">*There are options to make any destination comfortable from the airport. From experience I can say that when you do not choose to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/car-hire\/\">rent a car<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/malaga-airport\/transfers.php\">transfer from the airport<\/a> is highly recommended.<\/p>\n<h2>Other recommendations where to go on holiday<\/h2>\n<p>There is a group of destinations that attract the attention of Japanese tour operators, this group consists of Malaga, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/andalucia\/granada\/\">Granada<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/andalucia\/seville\/\">Seville<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/andalucia\/cordoba\/\">Cordoba<\/a>.

If you don&#8217;t mind being a little far from the coast Casares or Frigiliana are excellent options to consider.<\/p>\n<p>Are you looking for a vibrant nightlife? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/marbella.php\">Marbella<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/puerto_banus.php\">Puerto Banus<\/a> should be on your list. July and August are the most popular months in these municipalities and others such as Torremolinos, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/fuengirola.php\">Fuengirola<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/benalmadena.php\">Benalmadena<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Wondering about where to go on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/costa-del-sol\/malaga-in-april-and-may\/\">holiday in May or April<\/a>?<\/p>\n<h3>Where to go on holiday in October, November or December?<\/h3>\n<p>During the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/costa-del-sol\/winter-activities-malaga\/\">winter in Malaga<\/a> there are many activities and if you like to ski, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/andalucia\/granada\/sierra-nevada.php\">Sierra Nevada<\/a> is only a short distance away.<\/p>\n<p>The Costa del Sol has very pleasant temperatures between October and December, so if you are looking for good weather any municipality is a good choice.<\/p>\n<p>Other considerations may include quiet places but with cosy accommodations.
