Discover Malaga, a vibrant city at the mouth of the Guadalhorce River with over 2,800 years of history. Founded by the Phoenicians as Malaka, later a Roman colony, Malaga preserves ancient treasures like the Roman Theatre and Arab Alcazaba. Over centuries, it flourished under Arab rule and became a key Mediterranean trading hub, later joining the Crown of Castile in 1487. Known as “La Manquita”, its unfinished Cathedral of the Incarnation is one of the city’s iconic monuments, along with the Gibralfaro Castle offering panoramic views.
Today, Malaga blends history, art, and Mediterranean charm. Stroll through Calle Larios, the Plaza de la Merced, and the botanical gardens of La Concepción. Explore world-class museums like the Picasso Museum, Carmen Thyssen, and Pompidou Centre. The Costa del Sol invites visitors to enjoy year-round sunshine and beaches in Marbella, Nerja, or Benalmádena, while the white villages of Frigiliana or Ronda reveal Andalusia’s traditional beauty. Taste Malaga’s gastronomy with pescaíto frito, espetos, and sweet wines under the Denominación de Origen Málaga. A destination of culture, history, and sun, Malaga is the heart of southern Spain.
