For many, the end of August signals the close of summer. But here on the Costa del Sol, the sunshine and warmth often last well into September, October, and even November. In fact, autumn is one of the best times to visit southern Spain — with fewer crowds, milder temperatures, and endless things to do.

If you’re considering a last-minute getaway, here’s why an autumn holiday on the Costa del Sol could be perfect.
