Andalusia is the largest and liveliest region of Spain. It is situated
between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Phoenician, Roman, and
Arab civilizations left a cultural heritage which can be admired in its architecture,
gastronomy and even, on people's behaviour, being the distinctive image of
Spain throughout the world.
Mild winters and hot summers have made Malaga the favourite place to visit
throughout the year for visitors with different interests.
 
Malaga, situated in the Costa del Sol, is only 130 kilometres far from Granada
( where skiing is possible ), 220 from Seville, 190 from Cordoba and one step
from Morocco. Public transportation, an important domestic and international
airport, have been devised to meet all tourists´ needs.
Malaga is the most mountainous area in Spain, with natural reserves and unique
places such as the Laguna de Fuente Piedra, El Torcal, typical Andalusian
villages, pine forests and unspoilt areas for all tastes.
 
Torremolinos and Benalmadena, situated just fifteen minutes away by car
from Malaga, are the very heart of the Costa del Sol.
Away from the city centre, it is possible to find other quiet and residential
areas such as La Carihuela and Montemar: areas which used to be small fishermen's
villages. Nowadays they are worldwide known for their "pescaitos"
and the great amount of restaurants to choose from along the beach.
Torremolinos and Benalmadena offer all kind of activities which vary from
water sports, or stadium sports, a casino, an auditorium, theme parks,
aquatic parks, golf courses, a sea life aquarium, international pubs and
restaurants and a leisure port (Marina), with an incredible atmosphere
for people of all ages.
