Popular with European tourists, particularly Brits, Malaga is a lively city with a rich and unique history, stunning beaches and favourable climate. A well developed tourist infrastructure and a proliferation of home country comforts has turned Malaga into one of Spain's busiest destinations.

A stroll around Malaga's old historic quarter is a delightful way to ease into the city's attractions. It's difficult to miss the La Manquita Cathedral, incomplete with only a single tower (La Manquita means 'One armed women'), and although it was sacked by the invading Moors, the interior boasts magnificent Renaissance and Baroque styles and contains many interesting religious paintings, sculptures and manuscripts. Adjoining the cathedral is the pretty 15th century Iglesia del Sagrano

The elegant yellow building located at Plaza de la Merced is now the headquarters of the Picasso Foundation - on of Malaga's most famous sons. Other rewarding museums include the Dioxesal Museum, dedicated exclusively to religious art, while the small and attractive Art and Popular Customs Museum gives the visitor a glimpse of the past traditions of the Andulcian people.

One of the city's most important historical sites is the well -preserved 11th century fortress, La Alcazaba, now home to the Archaeology Museum. The main wing has many interesting exhibitions and offers scenic views over the town and sea. Another must-see is the Roman Theatre located on La Alcazaba's lower slopes.

Whether you're on the beachfront or in the old town, Malaga has plenty of entertainment on offer and clusters of tapas bars, restaurants, bodegas and coffee shops offer everything from fish and chips to Andalucian and international cuisine. With so much foreign influence your choices are numerous: sit and enjoy an afternoon pint while following the footy on a restaurant TV, or go for a siesta and then eat out late, like the locals.

Many vistors come for the climate and Malaga is well placed to explore the sun drenched Costa del Sol and seek out inviting beaches and interesting coastal towns. Worth visiting are Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Fungiola, less hectic than Malaga with their own unique characters . Inland, Nerja is a popular choice for its beautiful sea views and 3,000-year-old caves full of colossal stalactites. Still farther southwest, golf enthusiasts can reach some of Spain's most popular golf courses, located in the region between Marbella and Estapona.

Malaga International Airport is conveniently located near the city and frequently services major European cities as well as many domestic centres. Major highways in the region are well developed and clearly marked, and travel by car affords scenic views and stunning countryside scenery. Rail is also a popular means of transport to Malaga; trains are reliable, efficient and economical.
