MALAGA
Malaga has been popular with foreign tourists for many years; though initially as a gateway to some of the Costa's more exclusive offerings (namely Puerto Banus & Marbella). Today it is Spain's 5th most important city, much of it built with the income from the tourist industry. Home to some 600,000 inhabitants it still performs a mixed role as a busy port & industrial centre, as well as the gateway to one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world.
If you are visiting Malaga for the purpose of shopping, eating or for an evening drink the places to head for are the entwined Marques de Larios, Plaza de la Constitucion & Calle de Granada. These three streets form the backbone of the shopping district & the city's thriving nightlife. Most of the narrow side streets in the area are filled with tapas bars & bodegas (old fashioned wine shops).
The people in Malaga, called Malagueños, are known for going out a lot at night for a chat, a drink or to eat out. The town therefore has a great variation of restaurants, bars and bodegas, which normally are busy throughout the week. The Malagueños are also known for loving everything about their town and they are particularly proud of their two world famous citizens, the painter Pablo Picasso and the actor Antonio Banderas.
