The paragraphs:
The Costa del Sol is a region which comprises the coastal towns and communities in the western part of Málaga province in the south of Spain, in the autonomous community of Andalusia. The name translates as "Sunny Coast" in English. Formerly a series of quiet fishing settlements, the region has been completely transformed in the latter part of the 20th century into a tourist destination of world renown, with a near-continuous urban agglomeration of settlements and resorts running along the length of the coastline.
It consists of the area west of the city of Málaga and east of the border with Cádiz province, along the Mediterranean coastline. It includes the towns of Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, San Pedro de Alcántara, Vélez-Málaga, Nerja, Torrox, Puerto Banús and Estepona.
Have contradictions and does't agree with the definition in the Spanish article. This article sais that the region comprises the western part of Málaga but, later includes Nerja and Torrox that are in the Eastern coast of Malaga. My opinion that agree with the Spanish article, is that Costa del Sol is just the whole Málaga province coast.
[edit] Trivia
I have removed the following piece of unverified fancruft trivia, as it is completely irrelevant to the text of the article:
- In the videogame Final Fantasy VII, there is a seaside resort town called Costa Del Sol in the North Corel Area.
