About the city of Malaga

Malaga is the second largest and most important city in the Andalusia region. It lies on the Costa del Sol, which is also known for the pleasant temperatures.

This birthplace of the world famous painter Pablo Picasso, is located on a beautiful bay in the south of Andalusia and has sunshine over 300 days a year. The city is known for its lively nightlife, important museums and excellent seafood restaurants.

The perfect climate

As mentioned above, Malaga is among other things known for the pleasant temperatures. Due to the favorable geographical location between the 'Hills of Axarquia' Malaga has one of the highest average temperatures in Spain. The mountain landscape protects the city against the North Wind, which means it has a microclimate. This means that the winters are soft and pleasant and the summers are not extremely hot.

The Eastern side of the coast is rocky, but the Western part has many stretches of sandy beaches with great tourist and economic appeal. For this reason, the coastal region of Malaga is currently one of the most prosperous places in Andalusia.
