Along many parts of the Costa del Sol, the local restaurants and cafes have adapted their menus to become suitable for tourists. It’s very easy to find a full English breakfast or even a Sunday roast along the coast. But, of course, if you are hoping to sample some of the local cuisine while on your holidays to Costa del Sol, then this is possible too.
