Andalusia is one of the most popular destinations in Spain. A city break to M\u00e1laga is now almost as popular with travellers as a trip to Seville or Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

M\u00e1laga is a provincial capital in Andalusia. The city was founded by the Phoenicians around the 8th century BC. They built the settlement “Malaka” near today’s Alcazaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the course of the city’s history, the Romans, the Vandals, the Byzantines and changing Arab rulers, among others, ruled in the city and each left traces of their culture, which can still be seen in the cityscape today. From 1487, the Reyes catholicos (the Catholic Monarchs) ruled. The city’s impressive cathedral, for example, dates from their reign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holidaymakers interested in culture will find many interesting places in the city. For example, the only Centre Pompidue outside France is located here and Pablo Picasso was born in the port city. There is a museum dedicated to him. Don’t forget to visit the Alcazaba, which sits high above the city, on a city break to M\u00e1laga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The culinary scene in M\u00e1laga is just as tantalising. The local cuisine offers plenty of fresh fish and seafood in the numerous tapas bars and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e1laga is also a paradise for beach lovers. Relax on the sun-kissed beaches, enjoy the gentle sound of the waves and the Mediterranean climate, which provides ideal conditions almost all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
