Overview

Malaga is the biggest city on the Costa del Sol with a history dating back nearly 3,000 years. Founded by the Phoenicians, it is one of the oldest cities in the world and that history can be seen today in the historical centre, an open museum possessing ruins from Roman, Phoenician and Moorish times.

Today, Malaga is one of the most renowned and exciting tourist destinations in Spain. It combines history, beaches and archaeology with a hip nightlife and important cultural sights. Additionally, it is the Costa del Sol’s transport hub that offers an excellent base to explore the region.

Malaga has some excellent shopping and delicious cuisine. As the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, it attracts many art lovers and the city boasts several fine galleries and museums.

Climate

Located on the Costa del Sol of Spain, Málaga experiences hot summers and ocean-cooled evenings. The Sierra Nevada Mountains, which reside further up in Andalucía, keep the colder weather away from Spain’s southernmost coast. If you’ve booked a cheap flight to Málaga for sometime in the winter, you’re looking at mild weather that’ll fall somewhere close to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Inside, you will find gardens and displays of the various armies that have occupied the fort. Entry is EUR2.10.

Opt for the main public transport i.e. a bus which covers four main streets of the city at night.
A taxi is also a convenient means of transport if you are not travelling far enough. A “libre” indicator means a free taxi whereas an “ocupado” sign tells a taxi is occupied.
When visiting the city for the first time, pay a visit to any of the tourist offices from where you can get leaflets consisting of every relevant info regarding everything.
For delicious hot coffee, hot pastry and other affordable ethnic dishes, head to the local street cafés dotted on every significant landmark.
Retail markets are there to purchase high-quality clothes and footwear at low prices but if you want to buy souvenirs or gifts, restrict yourself to shopping centres.
