To this day, I am yet to meet an American who disagrees with the G-Team’s strong belief, strong feeling that living in the Costa del Sol offers many similarities to the ever-desirable state of California.  It could be argued that without the litany of actors, know it all’s, gangsters, and the overwhelming presence of Prius drivers, that what we have here is close to nirvana.

As someone who lived in the northern part of Cali, close to San Francisco and having travelled extensively throughout California for business and pleasure (more of the former sadly), the visual similarities are as strong as the exhaustive abundance of the manmade, natural, indoor, and outdoor activities and pursuits on offer in the Costa del Sol.
