There is another side to Costa del Sol that is relatively undiscovered as far as tourism is concerned. Although many of the resorts have grown to accommodate the demand of holidaymakers, some still retain character and charm.

Good examples of such places include Ronda and El Tajo where the town is separated in half by a spectacular river gorge. Old traditions and customs still thrive in these areas allowing you to discover the real Spain.
