Malaga dominates the Costa del Sol because it is a vibrant business centre and thrums with urban life. The buildings
are gracious and well appointed, and it boasts of green and beautiful parks where you can sit and drink in the beauty as you relax a while. The beach is only a short walk from the bustling town, where business continues at a pace.
As Andalucia's second largest city and the capital of the Costa del Sol, Malaga does not rely on tourism for its livelihood. Indeed, many travellers to the fabled coast go directly from airport to beach, unaware of Malaga's attractions. But the city has a full complement of historic sites, chic shops, sandy beaches and restaurants to keep visitors busy for a couple of days - especially those who crave the urban bustle and energy as a change of pace from days spent vegetating beneath a beach umbrella. There is plenty to see and do in Malaga.
