Malaga

Its singular beauty, its splendid light and its cordiality have always been there, but it has been its recent reinvention as one of the capitals of art in Spain and Europe that have turned Malaga, the capital of the Costa del Sol, into the city that everyone talks about and everyone wants to visit. No wonder that for eight centuries Malaqa was one of the most important cultural cities of Al Andalus. Also its main port.
