CarMalaga.Com Tip: Malaga
history |
| In the seventh century
BC, the Phoenicians founded Malaka, a commercial factory on this side
of the Straits of Gibraltar. Due to its Phoenician tradition, Malaga,
a Roman confederate city, minted its own coin, produced garum, the
gastronomic speciality of coastal Baetica, and recorded on sheets
of bronze the laws to rule the municipality. The Umayyad passion for
the sea at Malaga was expressed in its Alcazaba, built in the tenth
century, strengthened by the Ziri kings, the great constructors of
the eleventh century, and pampered by the Nasrid kingdom right up
to the reconquest by Ferdinand and Isabella, the 'Catholic Kings',
in 1487. At the end of the nineteenth century, the so-called "oligarchy
of the Alameda", gave a boost to the economy of Andalusia, but
phylloxera attacked the vineyards and led to a decline in the city.
In the mid twentieth century, the Costa del Sol and its capital, Malaga,
became focal points of Spanish tourism development. |
