Travel Guide Û
 
 
Overview
This famous city has more than the museum dedicated to Picasso and his birthplace to offer to the visitors. Málaga  is a hip cosmopolitan in the south of Spain where the atmosphere, climate and people are unmistakably Mediterranean. Often commented as the least European city of Western Europe for its sincere reflection of Moorish influence, visitors flock to Málaga  for the same reason they do for Miami in the U.S. or the Gold Coast in Australia: to have fun and enjoy their vacation by the sea. What’s more, Málaga’s glamorous nightlife is reputed to be no less robust than Madrid or Barcelona. If you are planning to travel to the Southern coast of Spain, Málaga is definitely worth a visit.
 
 
History
Málaga's first inhabitants were the Phoenicians who had made a journey here 3,000 years ago and used the area as a fish-salting center. The Greeks followed their trail in the 6th century B.C., then the Romans in 218 B.C. whose six centuries of occupation had greatly expanded Málaga and its peripheries. The port became a major Moorish city after the Moors' invasion in 711 A.D. and was the last to fall to the Christian monarchs under Reyes Catolicos (Catholic Kings), Isabella and Ferdinand in 1487. As a result of several tribes' association with the area in the past, Malaga today is blessed with rich cultural and artistic values clearly observable from the nostalgic Roman theater, the awesome Moorish food, and the splendid Catholic fiestas.
 
 
Geography & Climate
Málaga is located in the southern part of Spain on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and constitutes one of the eight provinces that make up the region of Andaluc?a along with Seville (or Sevilla), Huelva, C?rdoba, Ja?n, C?diz, Granada and Almeria. Its miles of sandy beaches have attracted a lot of tourists and have resulted in a well-developed and lucrative beachfront resort strip known as Costa del Sol (the Sunny Coast). Málaga enjoys a south-Mediterranean climate with over 300 sunny days a year and hardly gets cold or reach below 10? C in winter. This makes it a perfect place to visit any time of the year.
