Malabo, Capital city on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea.

Malabo extends along the northern coast of Bioko Island, featuring a mixture of Spanish colonial buildings and modern structures at sea level.

The city began as Port Clarence in 1827, established by British colonizers as a base to combat slave trade in the Gulf of Guinea.

The Cultural Center of Spain and Hispano-Guinean Cultural Center organize exhibitions and programs that promote local art, music, and creative initiatives.

Malabo International Airport connects the city with regional destinations, while local transportation includes public buses and yellow taxis throughout the streets.

The city takes its name from Malabo Löpèlo Mëlaka, the final king of the indigenous Bubi people who lived on Bioko Island.
