The wide range of events held on the Costa del Sol
emphasize the exceptional level of service and organizational skills available
in the region. In Malaga City: 'El Teatro Romano'
which gives us an idea of the importance Malaga
had during the Roman domination, and not very far away from the romantic
'Plaza de la Merced', where Picasso was born in October 1881. The visitor
will enjoy its gardens (Malaga has five botanic
gardens, one of which is 'El de la Concepcion', considered to the second
in Europe). Special mention must be given to Malaga
Cathedral, from the Sixteenth Century, one of the most important Renaissance
Temples in Spain. The interior of this cathedral, of high and wide aisles,
amazes due to its noteble chapels, the choir stalls and paintings of the
Nineteenth Century situated in the retrochoir: Adjacent to the Cathedral,
the Parish Church of 'El Sagrario', with splendid, gothic-isabeiline facade.
Cathedral, is the 'Palacio Episcopal'. Gibralfaro, the Arabic fort, offers
marvellous views over the city and sea. 'Interesante Centro de Interpretation'
in the interior, overlooking the city of Malaga.
One has to take a walk without haste around Malaga,
cross 'El Pasaje de Chinitas', gardens and squares. Magnificient collection
of Malaga paintings from the Nineteenth and Twentieth
centuries are exhibited in the building of 'La Aduana', Barroque 'El Camarin
de la Virgen de la Victoria', in its Sanctuary; the Church of Los Martires,
rococo, and the Mudejar Church of Santiago. Just the same, walk across
the maritime promenades and 'La Caleta', air.
