Malaga
Whether you're looking for a long or short break, book a cheap flight with easyJet to Malaga, and exprience Andalusia's major coastal city and a typical Andalusian town. We can also help you find a hotel in Malaga! The Moors occupied the city until the mid fifteenth century and its illustrious past has left its print on the historic centre, around the Alcazaba. Its worth visiting the nearby castle which today is a traditional Parador (state hotel) with superb panoramic views. There is an impressive park in the Calle de Alameda with one of the most celebrated botanical collections in Europe.Pablo Picasso is the city's famous son and there are several galleries showing his work. You can also visit his birthplace in Plaza Merced, which today is an archive of his life and works.
Malaga is also a great place to eat out. The choice is unlimited and you should not forget to ask for "pescaito frito" and tapas.
The Costa del Sol has numerous and magnificent well kept beaches, ideal for a long or short break in Malaga and surrounding areas. The eastern Costa del Sol is more rocky - you must visit Nerja, a typical fisherman town surrounded by tourist pueblos.
West of the Costa del Sol, towards Cadiz, the coast is highly developed: Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Estepona are appealing resorts with clean sandy beaches, with a wide choice of hotels and restaurants and unparalleled variety of entertainment. In Torremolinos visit la Carihuela, the original fisherman's district. Marbella is a luxurious resort. Few places can match Marbella's sporting activities: world class tennis, sailing and golf, with more than fifteen golf courses.
The ultimate in coastal charisma is Puerto Banus, the place to be pampered and watch the world go by.
