Location
Malaga, the capital city of the Costa del Sol and the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, has become the economic capital of Southern Spain due to its important tourist sector. Located on the Mediterranean and close to the Strait of Gibraltar, the origins of Malaga are remote. Throughout its 3,000 years of history the Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs, among other civilizations, have forged the character of an open and cosmopolitan city.
