The area generates €400 million a year – more than any other region in Spain – through the golf industry, according to a survey by auditors KPMG.

The region has more than 100 registered golf courses, with Malaga and Cadiz provinces having the highest concentration of greens.

One million foreign golfers visited Spain last year, accounting for around 35% of golf tourists in Europe and boosting the Spanish economy by €1.2 billion.

The Canary Islands generated the second highest income, approximately €177 million, followed by the Balearics with €161 million.

"Spain and England's World Cup Waltz: The Pinnacle Plays of the Pitch!"

 "La Roja and the Lionesses set for a Down Under Duel in Sydney! Prepare for a football fiesta as Spain's La Roja squares off against England's Lionesses at the iconic Stadium Australia this sunny Sunday, 20 August. The stakes? Just the little matter of the Women's World Cup title. For both teams, it's uncharted territory. They've danced around the finals before, but never quite made it to the last tango. Spain's road to the finals was nothing short of a nail-biter. With a thrilling 2-1 victory over Sweden, where the scoreboard remained dormant until the last 10 minutes, La Roja proved they love a little late-game drama. As for the Lionesses, they showed their mettle by taming the co-hosts, Australia, with a captivating 3-1 win. Now, with the world watching, both squads are on the prowl, each looking to pounce and claim their first-ever Women's World Cup crown. May the best team win (and the fans get to enjoy some fantastic football)!"
