City information

BETWEEN THE SEA AND THE MOUNTAINS

Located in Eastern Andalusia, the territory of Málaga is divided into two clearly differentiated landscapes: the marine littoral, the Costa del Sol, washed by the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea; and the mountains, the southern part of the Penibética Mountain Range, made up by a succession of valleys and mountains.

The coastal area enjoys a privileged Geographical position: protected from the North winds by the mountains, it benefits from the highest average temperatures in Spain and over 300 days of sunlight per year. Rugged and irregular in the eastern part, with rocky projections of land that penetrate the sea, it is milder and sandier in the western area, with large beaches that make it one of the most developed parts of Andalusia, thanks to its demographic and tourist appeal.
Although the mountains are not very high (the Sierra de Tolox has the highest peaks, just under 2.000 m), the steep mountain ranges of Málaga make up a very attractive natural landscape which includes the Serranía de Ronda to the West, reaching the Gibraltar Rock; the Torcal de Antequera, a unique natural area, in the centre; and the Tejeda and Almijara Mountain Ranges to the East, acting as a natural boundary between the provinces of Málaga and Granada, and including the beautiful Sierra de Alcaucín.
Located in one of the most important and ancient communication routes in Europe (the Straight of Gibraltar) and isolated from the rest of Spain by the Penibética Mountain Range, Málaga has been a place of settlement for many peoples since ancient times: the Phoenicians cave it its current name, the Greeks established flourishing colonies (Mainake, Torre del Mar) and the Romans made it a part of their empire. But it was Arab rule, lasting until the latter years of the 15th century, which most contributed to the identity of Málaga. Muslim Malaga, the seat of a reino de Taifas (a faction of the caliphate of Córdoba which broke up in the 11th century) was part of the kingdom of Granada until the Catholic Kings incorporated it to the rest of Christian Spain (1487). The cosmopolitan character of its modern-day tourism was anticipated during the period of Muslim rule, when it had important Berber, Syrian, Italian, and Jewish colonies; in the 15th century the city of Málaga had a corn exchange for Genoan merchants and a Jewish quarter. In the 18th century, after trade with America became easier, Málaga entered a prosperous period thanks mainly to its seaport. The plentiful trade of wines, dry fruits and minerals fostered the settlement of English, German and French colonies, which have left their mark through some of the family names of the inhabitants. This stage of economic development continued in the 19th century with the introduction of an important iron and steel industry: Málaga bears the honour of having built the first Spanish blast furnace.
Afterwards the province withered into a long period of decline which did not begin to subside until the 1960s, when the tourist industry began to develop strongly, to the point where it is currently the province's major source of income.
Today Málaga has a well-developed transportation network. The autovía del Sol (along national motorway 340, from Barcelona to Cádiz) is the main communication route in the Costa del Sol. The autovía de Andalucía (A-92), from Seville to Baza, features a branch going from Antequera to Málaga (the so-called autovía de Málaga) which splits into two roads right before entering the city, one to the western Costa del Sol and one to the eastern part.
Regarding air transportation, Málaga international airport services the entire Costa del Sol - there are Iberia information offices in all of the main tourist information centres.
Málaga has a RENFE train station, connecting the city to the national train network, as well as a coastal track from Málaga to Fuengirola that stops at Torremolinos, Benalmádena and the airport.
Regarding sea transportation, Transmediterránea has a regular line to Melilla in the North of Africa, and Málaga is one of the regular stops for most cruises in the Mediterranean.
