Introduction

Malaga is a beautiful city, overlooked by 90% of tourists that simply pass through it on their way to the Costa del Sol. The old city centre is a haven of pure Spanish city life amidst one of the most cosmopolitan areas of the world. It was the birth place of Pablo Picasso and the long awaited museum in his birth town is now open and contains over 200 works of art that he either kept for himself or gave to family. Below the museum is a fantastic display of the old Roman and Phoenician city wall that was uncovered whilst renovating the building. Other historical sites include the ancient Moorish fort built in the 8th Century, the 16th Century Cathedral which was never actually finished and of course the bull ring which is still very much in use today. After all this history you will need to relax and nobody knows how to indulge in the finer things in life better than the Malageños. Fashionable bodegas line the narrow streets serving local specialities such as Serrano ham and the sweet Málaga Dulce wine, and it really is here in Malaga that you can get the best fried fish in the whole of Spain. Waiters circle the tables with huge platters of boquerones, calamares and pulpo and the characteristic smell from the beach promenade is of skewered fresh sardines barbequing on the beach in a palm tree fringed chiringuito.
