Costa Del Sol- Spain



So after visiting a place of great history (Madrid) it's time to relax on the beach in Costa Del Sol-- "for those of you who don't "hablo espanol that means " 'coast of the sun'. " 

According to travelers of Europe, the best way to travel is by train. No, not an old fashoned locomotove, but rather one traveling on air tracks, and reaching speeds in excess of 200 mph. Known as the Talgo train, it travels throughout southern Spain and offers luxury similar to first class on an airplane. The trip from Madrid to Costa del Sol-- about 550 miles-- takes only a few hours--with stops. 



Upon arrival at the Costa del Sol we will begin discovering the beauty of the Mediterranean sea from the south of Spain in the city of Malaga.  The coast has become a major tourist destination for its warm beaches, great seafood, host to the home to Pablo Picasso. 

Malaga has become modern, however it was originally a small fishing town, and is still a great place to spend sometime at sea trolling for a giant tuna or red spanish mackerel. I plan to charter a boat to do some deep sea fishing for a relaxing day in the Mediterranean.
