You will fall in love with Malaga
1. THERE IS A GOOD WEATHER . Ok, it's a cliché, but also a truth like a temple . In Malaga we enjoy more than 300 days of sunshine a year , with an average temperature of 19º, and we even have to our credit the town with the best climate in Europe , Torrox. And look, it's not the same to wake up and see the sun shine through the window that dawn with rain every day. Hence the next point...
two. WE ARE VERY NICE. Really, everyone knows this. The man from Malaga will treat you as if he had known you all his life from minute one, which will lead you to start lively conversations with the pharmacist, the clerk and the traffic guard. Everybody will try to lend you a hand whenever he can, and rest assured that his openness and self-confidence will lead to long nights out in which you will end up knowing the name of the entire bar.
3. THEIR PRICES ARE AFFORDABLE. As long as you don't get into Marbella's golden mile, your pocket should not fear. In fact, it is most likely that the price of food and alcohol surprise you favorably, as well as ** the quality of the gastronomy .**
Good weather has a positive influence on the character of Malaga
Four. IT IS A LIVING CITY. And that's because we are always on the street except when it rains (but it rains very little). Get ready for a moving landscape with neighbors always wanting to celebrate , from the fair to Holy Week, passing through the turning on the christmas lights and even for the mere fact that it is, what do I know, TUESDAY. Although keep in mind that...
5. IT IS A PROVINCE OF THE MOST QUIET. forget about stress of the big city, which you will not be able to feel even in the center of the capital. Malaga is made for enjoyment , with wide avenues or cozy narrow streets, palm trees and flowers, terraces, blue skies, white villages and sea views.
6. BUT IT HAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD ASK OF A METROPOLIS . Cinemas (up to alternative), museums (around thirty, including the famous Center for Contemporary Art, Pompidou, Picasso, La Térmica, the Museum of Russian Art and the newly opened Museum of Fine Arts), concert halls with a programming of the most granada, restaurants with all the flavors of the planet , galleries, high-flying urban art, shops of all kinds, an international airport with competitive prices, multiple means of transportation and excellent highways , a core of artists very powerful, always launching new ideas and another equally ** enterprising,** giving new life to every corner of the province.
Even the Parisian Pompidou is based here
7. IT HAS SEA, CLEAR , beaches that are the envy of Europe , a whole leisure system prepared to squeeze every last drop from the Mediterranean and fishing villages that you won't be able to stop photographing...
8. BUT IT ALSO HAS MOUNTAIN, and it's fascinating. lose you for the Sierra de las Nieves , with its infinite fir forests, cool off in one of the many rivers of the region (small, yes, but many!), visit the ** coquettish white villages ** or visit one of its numerous hiking trails (how about the ** Caminito del Rey ** ?) is a weekend plan that we cannot stress enough.
Also the mountain is beautiful
9. IT IS A VERY TOLERANT PLACE. Malaga has been, since time immemorial, an important sea port, which has given rise to a mixed population open to the new, to the different and abroad. Perhaps for this reason Torremolinos was erected as one of the first props of the gay movement , establishing itself as the European capital of homosexuality even in times of the dictatorship, and that is also why there are so many foreign communities living in peace with each other since ever.
10. IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO SAY ENOUGH. We are not deluded, we know that not everything in Malaga is beauty, but in general, how beautiful she is. walk in front of Roman theatre , with the Alcazaba in the background; tour the park walk ; discover absolutely adorable little towns like Mijas, Frigiliana or Comares; marvel at the grandeur of Round ; contemplate that orange light that bathes a sunset in front of the sea ... The list is endless, and is waiting for you to complete it with your own favorite corners.
Pretty to say enough
