MALAGA… For The Spanish Tourist

A Spanish
Vacation
Destination

Most international tourists skip Malaga in favor of Granada and the Alhambra, Cordoba for the Great Mosque and Seville for the history.

Malaga is the second largest city in Andalucia and capital of the Costa del Sol, where northern Europeans come every year for some sunshine. Malaga's airport is one of the busiest in Spain and in a typical year can welcome up to 10 million. These visitors are heading for the Costa del Sol and many will never see Malaga, but this city has more to offer than just seaside and sunshine. For the Spanish, this is the place for a great vacation!

Malaga, a gem of a city with a
