You’ll be amazed at all there is to
do when traveling around Malaga
Spain. You’ll find this city on the
Costa del Sol, which is near the
Mediterranean Sea. You’ll enjoy
the beautiful warm Mediterranean weather and climate of this
area. Everyone of course loves
to visit in the summer when the
weather is nice and hot, but as
well visiting in the Winter months
can be quite pleasant too due to
the near perfect mild temperatures that you’ll experience.
Of course summer is the busiest
in this area of Spain, so you’ll
want to be speedy about making your reservations to ensure
you get the best deals on flights,
hotels, and even rental cars if
need be. If you do need to rent
a car you can actually do so right
at the airport at arrival, if not
you can hire a car service which
will drive you to your destination
hotel and also bring you back
to the airport at the end of the
trip. However, waiting until you
get there, especially in the summer is not recommended being
that it’s such a busiest time,
you may get stuck (literally).
There is certainly no shortage of things to do when you
visit around the area of Costa
del Sol and Malaga Spain.
If you enjoy seeing old architecture and experiencing a bit of
history then visiting the Alca-

zabo or the Citadel, which is the
greatest fortress in Andalucia
would be a great choice for your
sightseeing agenda. This citadel was built sometime between
the eighth and eleventh century.
You’ll also, as a history buff, want
to hit one or two of the museum
there on the site of the citadel.
One is actually an archeological
museum and is an area favorite.

This cathedral was began to be
built in 1528 however construction was an on and off again
thing for about the next 200
years or so, which was simply due to the lack of funds.
This one Cathedral therefore
has a multitude of different
designs within it since construction was started and stopped
so many different times.

If you love fourteenth century
architecture and buildings then
be sure to check out the castle
that is located in Malaga. This
is the castle of Gibralfaro, and
is open for you to tour to actually experience the areas full
and beautiful history. You’ll be
able to enjoy a beautiful view
of he entire city as well as the
port from Gibrlfaro. This castle
is actually very near the citadel,
which makes it a convenient
tour for you and can probably be
accomplished in just one day.

You’ll surely have no shortage
of history to witness and explore before you in the Costa
del Sol, as well as be able to
enjoy the great weather as well
as be near some of the finest
beaches and ports in the world.

There is actually an amusement
park in the Costa del Sol, which
is the Tivoli Amusement Park.
This is great if you’re visiting the
area with you entire family or just
looking for an adventure. The
park hosts daily shows, has great
rides, and has beautiful botanical gardens for you to tour.
If you want to see a great landmark of the area then you should
visit The Cathedral of Malaga.
