Resting on the exquisite Costa del Sol (Coast of the Sun) in the south of Spain, Malaga is a bustling port city known for its yellow-sand beaches lined with luxury high-rise hotels and resorts. For many visitors, Malaga is simply a gateway to the beach resorts of the Costa del Sol but those who linger will find a cosmopolitan cultural hub complete with a thriving art scene, a slew of interesting museums and an endless array of culinary delights. Presiding over the city’s modern skyline are two enormous ancient hilltop citadels, the ruined Gibralfaro and the 11th-century Moorish palace of Alcazaba, which holds a number of ancient artefacts. Other must-see sights include an impressive Renaissance Cathedral, the beautiful remains of an old Roman theatre, and La Conception Botanical and Historical Garden, offering lovely panoramic views of the city below.
