|  | Malaga Mountains and the Miguelettes |
 MALAGA, is the major coastal city in ANDALUCIA and was occupied by the Moors until the 15th century after which it became one of the foremost merchant centres in the entire Iberian Peninsula, and an illustrious past has been left behind especially around the ALCAZABA (FORTRESS), which dates back to 1065 and is now a fascinating museum. The nearby castle, rebuilt by the Moors and now a traditional PARADOR hotel, and the historic city center with its unfinished Gothic Cathedral and narrow pedestrian streets are fascinating |

 Of course Malaga's most famous son is PABLO PICASSO, born in Plaza Mercad and now a museum dedicated to his work and the Picasso Foundation. Of course Malaga has another son, ANTONIO BANDERAS, who once performed in the Cervantes Theatre and is still a regular patron. The best known food in Malaga has to be the PESCAITOS FRIO, an assortment of fried fish and washed down with a cold glass of fino, especially on a warm day, is simply heaven. In the center of Malaga take a visit to the oldest bodega, ANTIQUA CASA DE LA GUARDIA, and try one of the many tapas and a glass of MALAGA wine. |

 Follow the mountain road out of MALAGA and head into the MONTES DE MALAGA NATURAL PARK, where you can picnic, walk or simply admire the beautiful scenery after your lunch in the city.
The mountains inland from MALAGA, the SIERRA DE CAMOROLOS, were once a refuge for bandits during the 18th-19th century, and in the mountains could be found the MIGUELETES, a rural police force (the name origanated from the shotguns they carried), whose aim in life was to search out and capture the legendary BANDOLEROS of the Sierras and attempt to escort them to their headquarters in GRANADA.
Our trip through ANDALUCIA will take you to the many lovely places for you to visit, so after you have explored our beautiful city see the rest of ANDALUCIA.
If you do not have enough time then you must simply keep coming back. |
