Exploring Malaga
This mini-book is an excerpt from "Exploring Andalusia".
For many visitors to Andalucia, Malaga is just an airport. They land, rent a car or hop on a bus, and scoot off to one of the resorts strung out along the Costa del Sol. This is a they are missing a fascinating city. It has the best-preserved of all the Moorish forts, a bewildering range of museums, including several that are world-class, and a number of architectural gems that illuminate its long and dramatic history.
Malaga remains a very Spanish city, unlike its coastal neighbours to the west. It is also Andalucia’s most cosmopolitan while Seville is Spain’s fourth-largest town, Malaga is its fourth-largest economy (after Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia), and the largest in Andalucia.
Spain is the second most-visited country in the world after France, but the majority of Andalusia’s visitors head straight for the beaches and stay there. They are missing a great
The “grand tour” of Granada, Seville, Cordoba, and Malaga
World-famous pueblos blancos (white villages), strung like necklaces around mountains
Vast, spectacular, unspoilt mountain landscapes, with some of the best hiking country anywhere on the planet
World-class cuisine that combines the Mediterranean diet with north African flavours, wonderful local wines, and, of course, sherry
We have loved exploring the sites, sights, and smells of Andalusia from our home in the Serrenia de Ronda. With its fabulous photos and an informed, light-hearted commentary, we hope this mini-book will tempt you to do the same.
