Málaga is the major coastal city of Andalucia and is a genuine and typical Andaluz city.
The Moors occupied the city until the mid fifteenth century, after which it grew to become one of the foremost merchant centres in the entire Iberian Peninsula. This illustrious past has left its imprint on the historic centre, particularly around La Alcazaba, a fortress which dates back to 1065 and is now a fascinating archaeological museum. The great beaches of nearby Costa del Sol are what have made Malaga one of the most visited regions of Spain.
