In the heart of Andalusia, on the Costa del Sol, the province of Málaga invites you to spend a pleasant holiday under the Mediterranean sun. Between splendid seaside resorts and fabulous hinterland, you will inevitably fall under the spell.

With more than 160 kilometres of sunny coastline all year round, the province of Málaga has an outstanding asset. On the splendid fine sandy beaches or in the heart of a small wild cove, you can enjoy all the sweetness of the Mediterranean. On the program: idleness, swimming or water activities for the more sporty. Thanks to its many marinas, the province of Málaga also offers an ideal environment for sailing enthusiasts. Along the Costa del Sol, they can discover its mythical resorts (Marbella, Estepona, Nerja...) and make a few stops to enjoy, for example, the many golf courses along the coast, especially in Marbella, sometimes called the golf capital.

During your stay in the province of Malaga, take the time to discover the cultural heritage of its cities. In the capital, Malaga, which was founded in the 8th century BC, visit the famous Alcazaba fortress, Gibralfaro castle and the amazing cathedral, nicknamed "La Manquita" (The Manchote) because of its unfinished tower. But also take the opportunity to be in the city where Picasso was born to visit his birthplace and the museum dedicated to him. Then go to Antequera, considered the heart of Andalusia, and enjoy its fabulous monuments that bear witness to a past of more than 40 centuries: dolmen de Menga, Roman villa of Estación, fortress, many churches...

But there are many other interesting places to visit. Modern and particularly well equipped, the main seaside resorts of the province of Málaga also have fabulous historic centres such as Mijas, Fuengirola or Torremolinos. In the countryside, discover the famous white villages and the superb city of Ronda, the city of castles, separated in two by a 150-metre high parade. But also take the hiking trails of its 15 protected areas, which will allow you to enjoy exceptional views of the Almijara, Tejeda and Alhama Sierras. Finally, don't forget to taste the local flavours: gazpacho, small fried fish and seafood, delicatessen, local wines...
