Malaga
Malaga the Beautiful, as the city is known, stands at the centre
of the basin of the same name, between the mountains, the River
Guadalhorce and the coastal strip which leads to the Axarquia region.
Throughout Malaga’s history, its privileged geographic situation
has attracted travellers, merchants, settlers and warriors who have
left their mark on what is now a cosmopolitan, universal, open,
relaxed and hospitable city.
Its places of interest are far too numerous to mention in detail,
but here is a brief summary:
In the east is the suburb of El Palo, with its typical fishermen’s
houses, coves, promenades and "pescaíto" (small
fried fish), which runs into the city’s main promenade, the
Paseo Maritimo, with its beaches, the Malagueta district, the lighthouse
(which has become the symbol of the city) and the port breakwater,
which affords a beautiful panoramic view of the city. In the centre,
a walk through the Park, home to botanical species from around the
world, adapted here thanks to the city’s benign climate, takes
us to the old centre of Malaga: the imposing Cathedral; the Nazari
Gibralfaro Castle; the Alcazaba fortress, renovated for public usage;
and the Roman Theatre, proof of the city’s importance in this
era. Further up is the Plaza de la Merced square, site of the house
in which the artistic genius Picasso was born. Malaga is also home
to a number of interesting churches -St. John’s, St. James’,
St. Domingo’s, and the Holy Martyrs-; St. Augustine’s
Convent and the Episcopal Palace; and civil buildings such as the
Count of Buenavista’s Palace and the Consulate House.
A stroll through the city ‘s streets evokes memories of its
spectacular Holy Week and grandiose Fair.
To the west and north of modern Malaga, the product of the urban
growth experienced in the 1960s, are the Misecordia Beaches, which
lead to the mouth of the River Guadalhorce, a protected area visited
by thousands of migratory birds.
The outskirts of the city are home to romantic gardens such as
La Consula and El Retiro in the suburb of Churriana, and, further
north, the Finca de la Concepcion and Hacienda de San Jose country
estates, evidence of the economic splendour of Malaga’s past.
Overlooking the city are the Malaga Mountains, a Natural Park of
extreme beauty and the ideal place from which to enjoy its charms.
In short, a most complete city to which we must add a whole host
of tourist facilities, golf courses, water sports and other attractions
difficult to evaluate, such as its sunlight, its climate, its cuisine
and the wit of its people.
