Costa del Sol information: MALAGA CITY


Malaga city history

Situated in the of the basin of the same name and surrounded by rich natural areas such as the Montes de Malaga or the estuary of the River Guadalhorce, which provides a home for thousands of migratory birds, the history of the capital of the Costa del Sol starts on the sea, with the first navigators who sailed the Mediterranean from the far East and landed on its coast. Today the city is the second most important destination for cruise liners in Spain whilst its airport receives visitors from all over the world and its comprehensive transport network is used by many who choose the city to organise congresses and conventions.

The ancient Malaga, its historic centre, with squares such as that of La Merced - the birthplace of Picasso, the Alcazaba, the Roman Theatre or the churches, blends with a more modern city which is the result of the 60's urban development, with romantic gardens such as those of
the Finca de la Concepcion, on the outskirts. Both parts benefit however from the beaches, small coves, traditional fishermen 's houses and, naturally, the delicious pescaito (fried fish).
