The Costa Del Sol - Golf in the Sun |
 |
|
If you are looking for golf, golf, and more golf then the Costa Del Sol has to be top of your list. There may be sun, sea and sand (to trot out the three Ss) but, and especially from October through to May, if there is one place to play Winter golf, it is this Southern tip of Spain, the coast line of Aldalucia.
