Over the last few years, the Costa del Sol has made something of a name for itself in music. And this year is no exception. Several famous international and Spanish names have already confirmed their presence at resorts on the Costa del Sol this year. If you’re planning a golf break in Marbella and fancy combining it with some great music, check out our round-up of the best concerts on the Costa del Sol in 2019.

Legendary Dylan

One of the biggest names in music and a legend in his own right visits this spring. Bob Dylan performs at Marenostrum Music Castle Park, located in Fuengirola Castle at what is likely to be one of the biggest concerts on the Costa del Sol. Taking place on 4 May, the concert will visit Dylan’s biggest hits and probably have a literary air since the singer songwriter won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. It’s 20 years since Dylan last visited the Costa del Sol.

Did you know? Rio Real Golf is just a short drive from Fuengirola so why not stay at Rio Real Hotel when you come to the Bob Dylan concert?
