Malaga hailed as top Costa destination

Spain has been listed as the "top" destination for UK tourists this year, with the Costa del Sol resort of Malaga featuring strongly in the spring holiday market.

Managing editor at airport hotels and parking firm Holiday Extras Mike Whiting noted that the country has led the way for bookings in this season, ahead of other popular countries like the US, France, Portugal, Egypt and Turkey.

He added that Malaga is "a big player" within this market, something that may encourage those considering investing in property in the Spanish Costas.

The Costa del Sol is set to benefit from a major clean-up of its coastal waters, it was revealed earlier this month.

Regional councillor for tourism in Andalucia Luciano Alonso unveiled a three-year plan to use 25 boats to clean up the waters, including the removal of foam, Typically Spanish reported.

Four of the boats will concentrate on the area off the coast at Malaga.
