The Costa del Sol is re-establishing itself as one of the most popular destinations for British holidaymakers looking to escape to the sun.

After years of dominating the top spots for Brits travelling overseas Spain started to see a slight dip during 2008, a trend which continued into 2009. The primary reason for the drop in visitor numbers was attributed to the falling value of Sterling against the Euro. However as the exchange rate begins to stabilise and non-Eurozone destination begin to rise in price more and more Brits are returning back to traditional European holiday destinations such as the Costa del Sol in Spain.

Attracted by 350 days of sunshine every year, hundreds of top golf courses, endless golden beaches and breathtakingly beautiful scenery it's easy to see why, at the right price, the Costa del Sol is a sturdy favourite with British holidaymakers.

With many Brits cutting back on holidays abroad last year there appears to be a strong trend towards holidaying overseas again during 2010 however price is still a key factor when deciding on where to visit. The fact that the Costa del Sol has so many fantastic holiday rental homes along with plenty of low cost flights arriving into Malaga Airport helps to make it an ideal sun destination that fits all budgets from bargain hunters to all out conspicuous spenders.

One of the fastest growing Costa del Sol holiday home websites costadelvillas.co.uk has witnessed the increase in interest first hand with a surge in the number of enquiries sent to owners so far this year.
