Málaga

Málaga extends along the Mediterranean coast with the Guadalhorce River flowing through its western districts and mountains framing the northern part.

The Phoenicians established Malaka in 770 BC as a commercial port, which later developed under Roman rule into a major center for garum production.

The Museum of Glass and Crystal exhibits more than 3,000 pieces in an 18th-century palace, displaying collections from various European manufacturing traditions.

The city maintains direct high-speed rail connections to Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville, while its international airport serves more than 20 million passengers annually.

The Arabic fortress Alcazaba contains a triple-wall defense system and connects to Gibralfaro Castle through an elevated covered pathway across the mountain.
