Málaga
Málaga, one of the oldest cities in Europe, was founded by the Phoenicians and later ruled by Romans, Visigoths, and Moors until the Catholic Monarchs reclaimed it during the Reconquista. It is the jewel of the Costa del Sol, known for its rich history, vibrant cultural life, and sunny climate.
Málaga can be represented by Picasso, poets Vicente Espinel, Emilio Prados, and Manuel Altolaguirre, essayist María Zambrano, sculptor Miguel Berrocal, and fashion designer David Delfín. Full of surprises, the city hides unique corners, from the English Cemetery, the first Protestant cemetery on the Iberian Peninsula, to the imposing Málaga Cathedral, an unfinished architectural gem combining Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Walking its streets, you will encounter the figure of the Cenachero, a traditional fish seller immortalized in a statue at Plaza de la Marina.
The city is famous for the biznaga, a handcrafted jasmine flower, and the espeto de sardinas, its iconic local dish. Don’t miss the tortas locas, a sweet treat created during times of scarcity, or La Farola, Málaga’s oldest lighthouse. And enjoy the verdiales, music, and dance that reflect the essence of Málaga’s culture.
Málaga awaits you with its history, traditions, and welcoming spirit.
Come and discover it!
