| book description |
The thoroughly updated fifth edition of Málaga and Costa del Sol celebrates a popular Spanish region that offers a compelling combination of rich cultural heritage and some of Europe's most dependable sunshine (300 days a year!), making it a year-round destination. Stretching along the Mediterranean coast of AndalucÃa, this diverse region is renowned for its beachfront towns, Moorish palaces, whitewashed mountain villages (pueblos blancos), gastronomy and dramatic inland sierras. Few European regions offer such a seamless blend of sun, cultural authenticity, comfort and character. Once dismissed as merely a gateway, Málaga city has emerged as a destination in its own right, home to world-class modern-art museums (including the Picasso Museum, dedicated to the city's most famous son), the Centre Pompidou Málaga, the beautiful Moorish Alcazaba, lively nightlife, a revitalised port and surprisingly good urban beaches. Beyond Málaga, the coast ranges from the glitz of Marbella to the relaxed charm of Nerja, where secluded coves are frequented by knowing sun-worshippers who mark sunset by eating espetos - sardines skewered and roasted over open fires in fishing boats buried in sand. Inland there is easy access to nature. In mountainous La AxarquÃa, you'll find olive groves, traditional villages and scenic hiking trails such as the Caminito del Rey, a once-deadly gorge-side path near Ardales that is now one of Spain's most thrilling hikes, offering jaw-dropping canyon views. The hinterland also grants entry to AndalucÃa's fascinating past via historic towns such Antequera (with its UNESCO-listed prehistoric dolmens, burial sites that are older than Egypt's pyramids) and Ronda (perched above the El Tajo gorge, with its iconic Puente Nuevo bridge and dramatic clifftop views). New elements of this edition include expanded content on central Málaga, new attractions such as a Moorish-style hammam and the Video Games Museum, a section on the redeveloped port area and strengthened coverage of the city's beaches. Whether you're flying into Málaga for a cultural city break, road-tripping along the coast or hiking in the hills, Bradt's compact Málaga and Costa del Sol guidebook is packed with all the detailed information and practical tips needed for a rewarding, varied break.
