The city of Malaga is located in a privileged enclave, embracing the Mediterranean Sea. The city was founded by the Phoenicians, who built a settlement near the hill on which the Alcazaba stands today.
The early life of Pablo Ruiz Picasso is intimately connected with Malaga city, where he was born in 1881. In 2003 the Picasso Museum was founded in the heart of the old town showing some of his main works.
Malaga provides varied gastronomic attractions; from the most traditional cuisine to the very latest trends, both in the city’s Historical Quarter, or by the waters of the Mediterranean.
The city has a range of top line hotels, conference halls equipped with the most modern facilities, fantastic natural surroundings, theatres, museums, outstanding venues and exhibition halls and a comprehensive range of complementary resources that will ensure the success of any event.
Moreover, Malaga Airport is undergoing a major infrastructure modernisation process, both in the terminal area and on the airfield, as part of "Plan Malaga".
Not far away from Málaga is Granada, the last Moorish town to be conquered by the Christians in 1492 is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains only 100 km away from the Mediterranean Sea.
