Description: Malaga, with its 600.000 inhabitants, is the second largest city of Andalusia and a genuine and typical Andalusian city. It is a thriving Mediterranean seaport at the center of the Costa del Sol in southern Spain, near by Gibraltar.

The city sparkles year-round because of its temperament. This temperament is best illustrated in the folklore of Malaga: the Flamenco song and dance. Before and during Easter there are numerous festivities that show Malaga in its entire splendor, a joy to behold. During the summer, the "locos veranos" ("crazy summers") at its beaches, are famous in all of Spain. All year round, Malaga features a thriving nightlife - you'll find everything from flamenco performances and hospitable tapas bars to modern nightclubs and discos. Locals and tourists alike, leave home around midnight and cruise the bars and clubs till dawn. An ideal starting-point for a night-out is the beautiful seaside promenade of El Palo with its many fish-restaurants and fashionable hangouts. Another area to consider is La Malagueta, a more modern part of the town, with several fashionable hangouts for young people. While the Pedragalejo area offers many of the most fashionable pubs in town, plus traditional bars and restaurants to enjoy classical Andalusian dishes.

The typically Andalusian tapas bars are generally the focal point for the city's nightlife. Don't forget to try the "pescaito frito" and tapas. Plus, the countless cozy bodega bars (wine cellar) in the old town are just the place to have a taste of Malaga's wine.
