The Costa Del Sol stuff, simply put, is filler done as right as it can possibly be. It's incredibly self-aware, and all of those quests serve to paint a picture of Eorzea as a setting. Hell, it even gets pretty poignant at one point, with you helping out that Garlean deserter.

Overall, joking even aside, I am just very impressed with the writers and localizers for this game. I trust them to make silly, incidental filler content right alongside the big epic world-shaking stuff.
