Located in a privileged enclave in Andalusia, this exuberant and very Spanish port city, set against a sparkling blue Mediterranean, is both historic and pulsing with modern life. The centre presents the visitor with narrow old streets and wide, leafy boulevards, beautiful gardens and impressive monuments, fashionable shops and a cultural life that is coming to the fore as never before.
As expected, the major new museum devoted to Málaga-born Pablo Picasso is dynamising the city. Málaga also has a newish museum of contemporary art and a new fine arts museum is pending. The historic centre is being restored and much of it pedestrianised and the port is being developed as a leisure zone. The city’s terrific bars and nightlife, the last word in Málaga joie de vivre, stay open very late.
Whilst the Mediterranean Sea bathes the Málaga coastline, the Málaga Mountains close ranks behind to form a barrier of peaks that protects the city from the cold. The regulating effect of the sea ensures the characteristic mild temperatures of the area.
In the last few years the city has undergone a culinary revolution and has turned into a top gastronomic destination for the visitor.
