Free Things to Do in Costa del Sol

Many traveler might not know that there are free things to do in Costa del Sol. They might not be as many as you’d expect to find in large cities, for example, but the area doesn’t lack free entertainment.

Donkey Sanctuary

Situated 40 minutes from Malaga, the Donkey Sanctuary is also known as El Rufigo del Burrito. Admission is free of charge both to the sanctuary and the close by flamingo lake. Spend the time exploring the beautiful Spanish landscape while admiring the wildlife.

Mijas Diamond and Jewelry Center

Take a trip to Mijas and along with exploring the charming village, make sure to tour , for free, the Jewelry and Diamond Center.

Paloma Park

Situated in the center of Benalmadena, a mere two minutes stroll from the Sunset Beach Cub, the Paloma Park provides a calming outing for the entire family, packed with restaurants and picnic quarters. At the center of the park, you could find a lake. And you might run into some ‘wildlife’ as well (i’m talking about rabbits and chicken here).

Casares

It is considered to be one of the most picturesque villages in Andalusia. Most of its white villages are attractive. However there is something truly special about the view of Casares that leads visitors to stop their cars and have a glance or take a picture. Wandering through the white terraced lanes all the way through the castle, you will be charmed by the city.

Gibraltar

Just a 25-minute drive away from Costa del Sol, Gibraltar is ready to welcome you. There are a lot of activities that you can do here. You will definitely be spoiled of the choices. Take pleasure of the majestic views of St. Michaels Cave as well as the Great Siege Tunnel. But, in general, the town is not cheap (so try to look for tucked away places to eat).

Puerto de la Dequesa

Indeed, Puerto de la Duquesa is the best kept secret of Costa del Sol. Though it is just within effortless reach from both Gibraltar (30mins.) and Malaga (40mins.), Puerto de la Dequesa looks like 1,000 miles away from the horde of the getaway resorts and gives a supreme quality of living in the Southern part of Spain.
