Malaga
Malaga is the provincial capital of the Costa del Sol and differs from the rest of the holiday resorts in many ways. First, there is not much English spoken, second, unlike most of the region it retained its history. The majority of the resorts destroyed their towns to build hotels in the 70's budget holiday boom. Third the city's main form of income is commercial and not tourism. Although that is now changing with the new cruise ship terminal. Malaga is an excellent holiday resort if you like to explore, love historical architecture and the arts. It is also on the Malaga Fuengirola trainline so it's only a ten minute train ride from Malaga airport. Oh and it also has some of the best beaches that are as good as any on the Costa del Sol. Have a look below for more information and directions to all the main attractions.
