Some Conclusions: The Costa del Sol (CDS) is a thoroughly international place, preponderantly English and German. 20 international English schools means: the CDS has big English speaking family community. The Costa del Sol is still a place to make successful business, but only with excellent services. The Costa del Sol offers many possibilities to make friends of all ages and social levels.
