Costa Del Sol Weather

[PhilD]

I am giong to the Costa Del Sol (Benalmadena) in mid Feb But I don't know what clothes to take. What is the weather like at that time of year? How warm is it in the evening? Also can anyone recommend any good restaurants?

Weather here can be VERY changeable in winter. I suggest you bring a good cross section of clothes including a warm jacket for evening wear and your cozzy for the daytime (but suitable weather not guaranteed). Hope this helps a bit.

Restaurants - they are ALL good (they have to be or they don't last 5 mins., bad news travels fast). All you have to do is choose how much you want to pay. There is everything from McD (ugh!) upwards including excellent Spanish, European to Chinese, Indian to S. American. You makes your choice and pays the bill. The 'Menu del Dia' (menu of the day) is almost always good value giving you 2 courses for about '5/6 and 3 courses for about '7 and many include wine with that. There are also 'Eat All You Can' restaurants for about '7 a head with wine/coffee/drinks, etc. extra.

Little to add to muh colleagues' responses, except to advise that for good food, make sure you wander off the tourist tracks, and go where the locals are. Look for a 'Menu Del Dia' sign, at a place that's full of locals, the food will be good, and inexpensive. By the way, if a MDD sign is not outside, ask, plenty of places offer it, but you have to ask.
