The Costa del Sol has a good selection of cinemas, although many of the multi-screen complexes tend to show blockbuster films only and it can be difficult to see an alternative or minority film. The tickets can be purchased in advance from most cinemas by phone or internet. Many sessions have numbered seating, especially for popular movies, so arrive or book a time early if you’re picky about distance from the screen.
