Trips to Costa Del Sol in 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010 & 2011 - Costa Del Sol Trips: Benalmadena & Fuengirola
During the years of 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010 & 2011 I made five trips to the Costa Del Sol in Spain. Staying in Torremolinos, my first trip there joined by my Dad in 2005, and then staying in Benalmadena for the following four trips, twice with friends and twice solo trips. I’ve found it to be the perfect cheaper overseas travel location in the past, great weather even in the winter months we get over here in England, cool but still hot in Southern Spain, and flying into Malaga you get to see that great city and also travel down to the seaside towns of Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Fuengirola and the beautiful white-washed village of Mijas.
I didn’t have much of a clue with taking pictures at this point and as noted above the cameras I used were very basic point & shoots but nonetheless they bring back some good memories of my travels around the Costa Del Sol – enjoy!
Note: These photos were taken with the following low quality cameras!
