Enjoying the Mediterranean Climate

Malaga,
a typical Andalucían city

Don’t be put off by the high-rise hotels and apartment blocks that line the nearby Costa del Sol, Malaga is a vibrant Spanish city with a real southern port atmosphere and burgeoning cultural scene. You're likely to find more Spanish tourists here where the city is less than 3 hours by train from Madrid.
Malaga is the second largest city in Andalucía boasting pretty streets, leafy boulevards, lush gardens and a breezy ambiance.

There's never a day without ham

Religious ceremonies are not just for Samana Santa, Holy Week. Walking down any street in Malaga visitors can often come across a traditional procession.

Tourist Economy... Developing an environment to attract travelers

Malaga has become a major tourist destination, mainly for Spaniards. The city has closed streets and paved them with
polished stone, turning them into open malls where thousands flock all day and into the night. The development has
attracted major retailers and dozens of restaurants and tapa bars, plus the Picasso and Thyssen art museums.

Port Development Offers Even More Attractions

Restoration... While many cities worldwide are happy to see the end of old buildings Malaga requires they be restored. All that's left of these is their facade, held up by steel supports while the interior is rebuilt.
