Malaga's Location
Malaga is seated perfectly as the gateway that heads into the Costa del Sol (the Sunshine Coast). Its location is one of the best spots for day trips, as a visit to the historic cities of Seville, Cordoba and Granada can easily be made from here. It truly gives you the benefits of a very sophisticated culture and a pleasant modern world, all while just sitting back and resting at the fine beaches out there. So it doesn’t really matter whether you fall into the category of people who party hard, or prefer reading a book or even opt for sporting activities. In Malaga, you will feel completely welcome!
People
The people of Malaga (the malagueños) are happy, accomodating and very friendly. The malagueños, are also experts at celebrating events. They rarely consider themselves as sad, and there’s no reason why you should treat them so. Malagueños completely love the food they eat, and it's very rare not to find them gathered at pubs, restaurants and bars, where they truly delight in their enjoyment... at their best telling hilarious jokes and telling of their antics.
The Climate
Sun in Malaga shines for approximatley 320 days a year, so just relaxing and being at your most relaxed on the beaches out there is what you would ideally feel like doing!
