| Since the 1960s the Costa del Sol has developed to a popular vacation destination for tourist from all over the world. Today it is characterized by numerous hotels. The whole coast is highly developed but the western part is a bit more developed than the eastern part because the western coastline was the first touristic area at the Costa del Sol. The most touristic towns at the Costa del Sol are in the west of Málaga the cities between Torremolinos and Benalmádena over Marbella to San Pedro de Alcantara and in the east of Málaga the coastline between Torre del Mar and Nerja. Sometimes this part is also called Costa Tropical.
