MALAGA Malaga is a world apart from the adjoining Costa del Sol; a briskly modern yet
historic city, it still has the atmosphere and swagger of a Mediterranean port. Admittedly, initial impressions can be discouraging as, like most Spanish cities, the shell is drab and industrial. But the kernel, the historic city centre, is charming with
its majestic, if peculiar, unfinished Gothic cathedral, surrounded by traditional balconied buildings, narrow pedestrian streets and some of the best tapas bars in
the province. In recent years, the city has heavily invested in its culture and heritage with new museums, extensive restoration and a brand-new port
development.
