The Superb Malaga

Have you ever thought about Spain as your holiday destination? If you have not done it so far, I strongly recommend that you do. Spain is not only one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, but it is one of the most beautiful and most attractive ones in the entire world.

Once you step on Spanish land, you completely fall in love with everything that surrounds you; imagine the picturesque landscapes that seem to be taken from a fairytale story, the modern cities where the architectural, cultural and historical heritages are so rich that you need at least a few days to get to their essence and the cozy and charming small villages where the traditions are still alive! Is there anything more you can dream of?

Choosing Spanish holiday destinations

Spain has so many places that deserve your attention and so many cities that have to be on your list that choosing one for the holiday destination can become a very difficult problem. However, if you need a recommendation, here is one: Malaga. Who hasn’t heard about Malaga, the wonderful Spanish port that has about 560,000 inhabitants?

It stands among the most populated cities in Spain but do not let yourself be scared by this detail because Malaga is not a very crowded place. The place where Malaga is situated makes it a very picturesque city: it lies at the foothills of Axarquia, right between the two rivers of Guadalhorce and Guadalmedina, so prepare yourself for wonderful views and scenic landscapes!

The history of Malaga

Malaga had to suffer a lot along the centuries because it represented a point of interest. It was the Phoenicians who founded what they called Malaka in 1000 BC but they only ruled the city for six centuries, then it was conquered by the Romans. The Romans were followed by the Visigoths and the Moors and the series of conquerors finally ended in 1487 when it became part of the Christian rule.

In the 1960s, the tourism industry started to flourish in Malaga, so the airport was built and connections to Morocco were introduced. Many means of transportation connect Malaga to other parts of the country, so it is an accessible destination. When you get there, make sure you visit the historical centre in order to see the beautiful Moorish fortress and the spectacular Gibralfaro Castle. Malaga is also the birthplace of the great Pablo Picasso, so keep this is mind when you go there! Enjoy your stay!
