Malaga
Malaga
is the major coastal city of Andalusia and is a genuine
and typical Andalusian town. The Moors occupied the
city until the mid fifteenth century and its illustrious
past has left its print on the historic centre, around
the Alcazaba. Its worth visiting the nearby castle which
today is a traditional Parador (state hotel) with superb
panoramic views. There is an impressive park in the
Calle de Alameda with one of the most celebrated botanical
collections in Europe..
Pablo
Picasso is the city's famous son and there are several
galleries showing his work. You can also visit his birthplace
in Plaza Merced, which today is an archive of his life
and works..
"Malaga
is also a great place to eat out. The choice is unlimited
and you should not forget to ask for ""pescaito
frito"" and tapas.".
The Costa
del Sol has numerous and magnificent well kept beaches.
The eastern Costa del Sol is more rocky - you must visit
Nerja, a typical fisherman town surrounded by tourist
pueblos..
West
of the Costa del Sol, towards Cadiz, the coast is highly
developed: Torremolinos, Fuengirola, then no more high
buildings and you will find lovely developments surrounded
by old towns and fishermen villages like La Cala de
Mijas, beautiful beach places like Cabo Pino Port, Elveria
with the famous Nikky Beach Estepona are appealing resorts
with clean sandy beaches, with a wide choice of hotels
and restaurants. Marbella is a luxurious resort. Few
places can match Marbella's sporting activities: world
class tennis, sailing and golf, with more than fifteen
golf courses..
The ultimate
in coastal charisma is Puerto Banus, the place to be
pampered and watch the world go by..
