Malaga is the capital of the Costa del Sol, you could say. It is the second largest city in the province of Andalusia after the city of Seville. At Malaga’s airport, you land when you want to visit the sun coast. Unfortunately, most people then move on and miss out on a lot of the pleasant city. The city feels quite small, despite its half a million inhabitants and everything you need is within walking distance. In Malaga, there is rich history, museums, an old cozy city center, modern shopping districts, and lots of bars and cafes. Malaga has not received the same tourist invasion as the other cities, so you will mostly encounter Spaniards on the streets. When you sit here in the evening on an outdoor terrace, you will be able to feel like one of the locals. Right nearby are also the vast beaches
