I have lived in Costa Del Sol for about a year and half and just returned home to the uk four weeks ago.One thing good about southern Spain is that there's plenty of sun all year round even in the winter its nothing like the UK it's sill quite warm.
There are plenty and plenty of English, Irish and Welsh bars out there which to me it was a bit too much and that's one thing that I didn't like in southern Spain due to its very English.
Shopping I was situated just outside Torremolinos it's about half an hour from Fungerola which has Marks and Spencer and a very big shopping mall there. Malaga is just half an hour way as well, in the central train station there is a shopping mall with plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes.
Night Life Benelemedena has a 24hour even thou the pubs and clubs are not open 24h most of the clubs are shut by six in the morning. i worked in one of them for about six months and Its gets very busy there summer time with all the hen and stag night from the uk but winter time its much calmer and I preferred to go out then due to less people.
Puerto Marina in Benelemedena is very nice there are many restaunts and pubs along the port it's a bit more expensive than anywhere else but it's worth it for the nice restaurants and food. There are Creek, Indian, Chinese, American and Spanish cuisine.
There are many English bars along the prom and the main road from torremolinos to Marbella so there are may English cuisine available if that's what you are looking for.
Getting Around Its very easy getting around there's plenty of taxis available, buses are very frequent and very cheap as well as the trains. But from my experience I always found them to be late but it is Spain they take everything easy out there.
