Costa del Sol Long Stay from Canada
The Costa del Sol is Europe’s favourite winter-sun coast — more than 300 days of sunshine a year, palm-lined promenades, whitewashed villages and long, easy beaches from Málaga to Marbella. For Canadian snowbirds it’s the classic escape: mild, affordable and full of life all winter. Fond Travels, an IATA-accredited Calgary travel agency, pairs your flights with the right apartment and books it all in one call, in Canadian Dollars, with our best unpublished long-stay rates by phone.
Call our specialists at +1 (587) 287 1191 and we’ll build your Costa del Sol winter around your dates and budget — a month in Fuengirola, a season in Marbella, or a base to explore Andalucía, 8 AM–9 PM, 7 days.
Best bases for a Costa del Sol long stay
- Málaga — a real city with museums, tapas and an airport on your doorstep.
- Marbella — upscale beaches, golf and the pretty Old Town.
- Fuengirola & Benalmádena — great value, long promenades and expat-friendly.
- Nerja — a prettier, calmer base with the Balcón de Europa and coves.
- Estepona — a traditional Andalusian feel with a flower-filled Old Town.
