Information about Malaga

There are two ways to define Malaga: On one hand beaches, walks along the seafront and colorful houses; on the other hand cathedrals,  moorish buildings, the bullfighting, colorful costumes worn by people during traditional festivals. Located in the west part of Mediterranean Sea and surrounded by gentle sunny hills, Malaga is at the same time one of the liveliest touristic centers in Spain and a place where the spirit of tradition is well preserved.

On the top of the hill that dominates the old town, the impressive Alcazaba Moorish fortress stands out.  A long defensive wall linked the Alcazaba with the Gibralfaro castle, built around XV century.  From its balcony there’s an incredible view over the seaport and the all city. The principal city monument is the Cathedral of the Encarnation. Its construction began in the XV century upon the ruins of the Aljama mosque and is not yet finished, that’s why it’s called La Manquita (the incomplete).
