Car Hire Malaga

Malaga's coastline forms part of the Costa del Sol, a special part of the Mediterranean. The climate is temperate, and the mean temperature is 22 C - from 16 to 19 in winter. This is due to the mountains that protect the coast from cold north winds. Malaga was first a Phoenician colony and later came under the control of the Greeks, Carthaginians, Visigoths, Arabs and Christians.
Today it is a maritime city rich in culture, some of whose remains are on view at the Archeological Museum. The friendly people and wonderful climate also encourage a stroll through the old walls and the remains of the Muslim palaces of the Alcazaba fortress; through its gardens next to the sea - they are adorned with palm and orange trees and jacaranda - and on to discover the house where Picasso was born, there on the wide, lively Plaza de la Merced. Or take in the view of the city from the top of the Gibralfaro Castle
Outstanding in Malaga are the baroque Cathderal and the Arab fortress, with a double wall and three interior palaces. The Museum of Fine Arts houses a collection from the 19th century and works by Picasso. Larios Street is the main business artery of the city. From the top of the Gibralfaro castle there are views of the city and the port.
