The coast of the sun
The Costa del Sol is the long Mediterranean coast of Málaga province, from Nerja in the east to Manilva on the border with Cádiz, and for decades it has been one of the favourite holiday coasts of British and Irish visitors. Most arrive through Málaga airport, a few miles from the city centre, and spread out east and west along the A-7.
What is on this page, and what is not
We only add a place when its camera can be shown here, on our own page. In the east, Nerja has a live view of the Balcón de Europa and Torre del Mar a live camera on its promenade, with the mountains of the Axarquía behind. In the middle, Málaga has two city cameras on the seafront by La Malagueta beach, and just west of the city a seafront hotel in Benalmádena films its pools, the promenade and the sea. In the far west, Sabinillas, near Gibraltar, has a live stream from a beachfront flat.
Some of the best-known names on the coast, such as Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Marbella, are missing. They do have cameras, but at the moment none that can be shown outside their owners' own websites. When that changes, they will be added here.
When to watch
Mainland Spain is one hour ahead of the UK and Ireland, so 10am on the cameras is 9am at home. The beaches face south and get sunshine all day; the light is softest early and late. Winters are mild, often around 17°C in the afternoon, and the sea is warmest at the end of summer. The wind that matters here blows along the coast: the easterly Levante and the westerly Poniente, both felt most in the west, near the Strait of Gibraltar.
