This is the guide we wish we had on our first trips along the Costa del Sol.
CostaExcursions was born from a simple idea: the best moments on holiday happen when a local friend takes you by the arm and says, "Come, I want to show you something."
For years, Peter, Thomas and our team have been designing private day trips from Málaga and Marbella — to Ronda, Granada, Gibraltar, Caminito del Rey and beyond. Between drives, our guests kept asking the same thing: "Where do you eat? Where do you watch the sunset? Where would you take your own family?"
Local Insider is our answer. It is a living, mobile-first collection of the restaurants, bars, beaches, shops, monuments, viewpoints and small experiences we recommend to our own friends. No algorithm, no paid listings — just places we genuinely love and return to.
What makes this different?
Curated by us
Every entry is personally chosen by the CostaExcursions team. If it is here, we have visited it, enjoyed it, and would send our own mothers there.
Made for the Costa del Sol
We focus on Málaga, Marbella and the surrounding coast, with precise locations, real photos and one-tap directions.
Built for our guests
Whether you are travelling with us tomorrow or simply exploring on your own, this guide is our way of sharing the local knowledge we have gathered over years.
Always improving
We add new favourites, update photos and refine recommendations regularly. The guide grows with the seasons and with your feedback.
No sign-up needed
We believe recommendations should be easy to share. You can browse the full guide without an account, save favourites directly on your phone, and send links to travel companions over WhatsApp in one tap.

Whether you need a tailor-made itinerary, a private transfer, or just a local tip, the CostaExcursions team is one message away.
