Why Visit Malaga, Spain

In case the sun-kissed region of Andalusia is on your travel radar, no southern Spain itinerary would be complete without a trip to Malaga. Set on the Mediterranean coast, the lovely resort town is a perfect location for those wishing to combine a relaxed beach holiday on Costa del Sol with discovering Andalusia's stunning legacy. Malaga will surely please the lovers of the bright sun, the emerald blues of the sea, and golden beaches, all adorned by dense subtropical greenery. What more is needed to forget about the fuss of the everyday life and just chill in one of the seaside tapas bars with a glass of sangria?

Once you had enough of the Andalusian sun, it is high time to set off on a saturated Malaga tour to explore the traces of the ancestors. Standing among the most ancient cities in Europe, Malaga has kept its original name, given by the Phoenicians in the 8th century B.C., and has seen quite an impressive number of prominent events in the history of Spain. As such, the city's ensemble represents a colorful cocktail of various styles where the typical Moorish features coexist with neo-Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassicism not just on the same street, but within the same palace or temple.
