Malaga

The Andalusian province of the Costa del Sol, combining seaside resorts, Picasso's birthplace and the cliffside town of Ronda.

Málaga Province lies in southern Andalusia, on the Mediterranean. Its coastline is the famous Costa del Sol, with resorts such as Marbella and Torremolinos strung along the shore. The capital, Málaga, is the birthplace of Picasso, and has the Picasso Museum, the Alcazaba fortress and the new port area. Inland, Ronda spans a deep gorge, with a spectacular view of the Puente Nuevo, and the area also has white villages and the Caminito del Rey walkway. The climate is mild and sunny, so you can visit all year, with spring and autumn best. Málaga Airport is Andalusia's busiest air gateway, and there is high-speed rail to Madrid.
