CITY OF MALAGA

The largest city to southern Spain and the Costa del Sol, the city of Malaga offers the best climate in Europe.
It is also known as the birthplace of the famous painter Pablo Picasso. Malaga swells with cultural and historical attractions. Malaga City is now one of Spain's hottest cultural, gastronomic and leisure destinations.

Malaga's history spans about 2800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in the world. The archaeological remains and monuments from the Phoenician, Roman, Arabic and Christian eras make the historic center of the city an "open museum".
There are not many destinations where you can visit world-class museums in the morning and eating lunch on the beach in the afternoon: Malaga is one of those destinations.
