This week on the coast

Late spring is doing that very Costa del Sol thing where the calendar starts moving in several directions at once. Mornings belong to bikes, walks, treks and sea air. Afternoons drift into exhibitions, cooking classes and hotel terraces. By the weekend, Torremolinos, Málaga, Marbella and Fuengirola are carrying the louder energy: rock routes, pop culture, indie music, beach clubs and night sessions.
