Quite the opposite! On the Costa del Sol, January shines for two reasons: our winter sun and, as of today, the official start of the <strong>sales<\/strong> season.  <\/p>\n\n<p>From today, <strong>January 7<\/strong>, the shop windows of Malaga and the coast hang the expected &#8220;Sales&#8221; sign. It is the perfect time for a <strong>getaway with friends<\/strong> or a trip as a couple with a clear mission: to renew the closet. The stores launch their first offers and, as the month progresses, the long-awaited <strong>second sales<\/strong> will arrive with discounts of up to 70%.  <\/p>\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re staying at <strong>Gran Hotel Costa del Sol<\/strong>, you&#8217;re in the &#8220;Golden Triangle&#8221; of shopping. You have the best shopping malls within walking distance and the perfect room to display your bags when you return. Get your card ready, here&#8217;s our shopping route for 2026.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stop 1: Miramar Shopping Center (Fuengirola)<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distance from the hotel:<\/strong> Only 5-10 minutes by car or bus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The plan:<\/strong> It is the closest and most convenient option. The <strong>Miramar Shopping Center<\/strong> is one of the largest in the area. Here you will find all the essential brands (Zara, Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius, Mango), a giant Primark and a great food court.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Take advantage of the morning to shop and go up to the terrace for a drink overlooking the Sohail Castle and get your strength back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/granhotelcostadelsol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/compras-centro-comercial-1024x682.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/granhotelcostadelsol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/compras-centro-comercial-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/granhotelcostadelsol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/compras-centro-comercial-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/granhotelcostadelsol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/compras-centro-comercial-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/granhotelcostadelsol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/compras-centro-comercial.webp 1250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stop 2: McArthurGlen Designer Outlet &amp; Plaza Mayor (M\u00e1laga)<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distance from the hotel:<\/strong> About 20-25 minutes (towards the airport).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The plan:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re looking for premium brands at rock-bottom prices, this is your paradise. Located next to <strong>Plaza Mayor<\/strong> (where you have cinemas and more conventional stores), the <strong>Designer Outlet<\/strong> is the first in southern Spain. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What brands are there?<\/strong> <strong>Carolina Herrera, Scalpers, Armani, Karl Lagerfeld, Furla, Adidas, Nike<\/strong>&#8230; During the sales, you can find authentic designer jewelry with additional discounts on the outlet price. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The setting:<\/strong> It is an open-air shopping mall with beautiful architecture that mimics an Andalusian village. Shopping here is a pleasant stroll, not a drag. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stop 3: Luxury in Puerto Ban\u00fas (Marbella)<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distance from the hotel:<\/strong> About 20 minutes (direction Marbella).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The plan:<\/strong> If you want to treat yourself to an exclusive treat or simply enjoy the most glamorous window shopping, head for Marbella.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Corte Ingles in Puerto Banus<\/strong> is famous for concentrating the most exclusive brands. Strolling through the marina looking at the windows of Louis Vuitton, Dior or Gucci under the winter sun is an experience you have to live at least once. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stop 4: Crafts and Leather in Mijas Pueblo<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The plan:<\/strong> Not everything is fast fashion. If you&#8217;re looking for something unique, head up to <strong>Mijas Pueblo.<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What to buy?<\/strong>  Mijas is famous for its leather crafts (handbags, handmade belts), local pottery and handmade jewelry.
