Hi
We are considering moving to Costa del Sol for winters. Should we look for a place with a pool private or communal or is it just too cold to swim and a waste of time? Thanks for any assistance. Just trying to sort out our tick list.

Not sure if you're still looking for an answer to this question or not, but I just returned from a resort on the Costa del Sol and it was WONDERFUL having a pool. However, the weather was unseasonably warm and it was still not hot enough to get anywhere near the water.
I think it truly comes down to what you value- for the week, it was a major plus to have the pool to sit around but (unless you've got a heated pool) it would not be feasible to actually use during most of the winter so might not be worth the upkeep costs.
