Today it is a maritime city rich in culture, some of whose remains are on view at the Archeological Museum.

Although this is the most expensive way to get to Malaga, it is virtually hassle-free. If you're on a budget, you can fly into London, Dublin or even Madrid, then take a budget flight to Malaga Airport ( www.aena.es). Malaga Airport is only 5 miles from the city of Malaga and it is the main airport for The Costa Del Sol. Once you arrive in Malaga, there are several ways to get from the airport to your Malaga hotel: by bus, train, taxi or rental car. By Bus: http://www.andalucia.com/travel/airports/malagabus.htm By Train: http://www.andalucia.com/travel/airports/malagatrain.htm By Taxi: Taxis are plentiful in the city and the prices are just right. Short trips throughout the city of Malaga average around 5E ($8US) and the cost for a taxi ride to the airport should cost between 12E-15E ($19US-$23). Malaga taxis are usually white, so they are very easy to spot.

Parking can be a hassle, dealing with traffic can be stressful during any of the city's four rush hours, especially between 8 a.m.-9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m., and rental cars are a frequent target for petty thieves. Even a soda can or a paper bag left on the seat can attract unwanted attention. If you would still like to rent a car during your Malaga trip, most rental car companies are located at Malaga Airport ( www.aena.es). Avis ( www.avis.es) and Hertz ( www.hertz.es) are probably the most popular options.

Malaga)
Málaga è una città di 547.000 abitanti, situata nella comunità autonoma dell'Andalusia, nel sud della Spagna. Capoluogo dell'omonima provincia, è affacciata sul Mediterraneo, a poco più di 100 km dallo stretto di Gibilterra, nei pressi della foce di due fiumi: il Guadalmedina, che divide il centro storico dalla città nuova, e il Guadalhorce. La città costituisce la capitale culturale ed economica della Costa del Sol.
[modifica]
DemografiaCon oltre mezzo milione di abitanti, la città di Málaga è la sesta città di tutta la Spagna. La sua area metropolitana, che supera il milione di abitanti, si estende lungo la Costa del Sol orientale e comprende famose località balneari come Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola e Mijas.
[modifica]
EconomiaGià da molti decenni il turismo costituisce uno dei principali pilastri dell’economia di Málaga, favorito dall’ aeroporto internazionale situato a 10 km dalla città e dal porto adatto all’attracco di navi da crociera. Altra importante fonte di proventi è data dai settori del commercio marittimo, delle costruzioni e delle nuove tecnologie (Parque Tecnológico de Andalucía).
[modifica]
ClimaClima di Málaga Il clima di Málaga è mediterraneo subtropicale, con una temperatura media annuale di 18,0º C (media massima 25,4º C ad agosto e media minima 11,9º C a gennaio). Eccezionali sono le gelate, mentre l’estate è calda e umida, eccetto quando soffia il terral (vento secco dell’interno), che fa salire notevolmente le temperature (con picchi di oltre 44º C nel 1978 e 1994). Málaga gode di 2.815 ore di sole all’anno. L’umidità media è del 66%, con 43 giorni di precipitazioni all’anno, concentrati soprattutto tra i mesi di novembre e gennaio, in cui cadono in media 524 mm di pioggia, pari al 50% delle precipitazioni medie annuali. L’irregolarità delle piogge si manifesta talvolta in piogge torrenziali di grande entità (il record è di 313 mm di pioggia in un solo giorno, il 27 settembre 1957).

Patrimonio storico-culturale
il Palacio Episcopal e la Manquita
Málaga può vantare un patrimonio storico e archeologico di notevole varietà, dovuto all’avvicendarsi di varie dominazioni. Al I secolo d.C. risale il teatro romano, mentre in epoca araba furono costruiti il castillo de Gibralfaro (su resti fenici preesistenti) e l’Alcazaba, una fortezza-palazzo che domina la città. Dell’epoca cristiana è invece la cattedrale dell’Incarnazione: l’imponente edificio non venne ultimato e per la mancanza di una delle due torri campanarie della facciata è stata ribattezzata affettuosamente La Manquita (la monca). Málaga è oltretutto conosciuta per aver dato i natali a Pablo Ruiz Picasso: in Plaza de la Merced è visitabile la sua casa natale, mentre il Museo Picasso (uno dei maggiori al mondo dedicati all’artista) e il Centro di Arte Contemporanea (CAC) sono il fiore all’occhiello dell’offerta museale della città, che ha sottoposto la propria candidatura come capitale europea della cultura nel 2016.

Folklore

Fedele al proprio spirito di città andalusa, Málaga vanta numerosi eventi festivo-religiosi e folkloristici, tutti caratterizzati da un’atmosfera allegra e variopinta:

StoriaNonostante nella regione siano state trovate tracce di presenza umana fin dalla preistoria (dolmen ad Antequera, pitture rupestri a Benoaján, ceramiche a Nerja), Málaga deve le sue origini al fatto di essere stata una delle colonie fondate dai fenici di Tiro intorno al VII secolo a.C. lungo il Mediterraneo occidentale, probabilmente per le buone condizioni di approdo ai piedi del monte Gibralfaro. In tale epoca la città era nota come Malaka, toponimo derivato probabilmente dalla parola fenicia per “sale”, perché l’industria della salatura ai fini di conservazione delle vivande era l’attività all’epoca più importante; in altre lingue semitiche la parola “sale” è מלח (melak) in ebraico e ملح (milh) in arabo. La città divenne poi probabilmente la colonia greca di Mainake, di cui non rimangono altre tracce se non in documenti, passando poi sotto il dominio di Cartagine. Secondo il geografo Strabone, la città aveva pianta irregolare. Alcuni secoli più tardi, alla presenza cartaginese successe quella romana, in cui la città raggiunse un ragguardevole sviluppo; diventata città confederata, Málaga venne retta da un codice speciale, la Lex Flavia Malacitana. Dell’epoca romana rimangono il teatro romano e alcune sculture conservate nel Museo Archeologico Provinciale. Poi venne l’invasione dei visigoti (V secolo), in cui si ebbero anche alcune incursioni bizantine. Tale epoca non ha lasciato quasi tracce. A partire dalla conquista araba, fu inglobata nella regione di Al-Andalus e venne ribattezzata Mālaqa (in arabo مالقة). Dopo la divisione del territorio in taifas (sorta di province), nel 1026 la città divenne la capitale della taifa hammudita. Dell’epoca araba rimangono tracce nel centro storico, ma principalmente nella Alcazaba e nel Castillo de Gibralfaro. In questa epoca visse uno dei figli più illustri di Málaga: il filosofo e poeta ebreo Avicebron (Shelomoh ibn Gebirol). La presa della città da parte dei castigliani rappresentò uno dei momenti più sanguinosi della storia di Málaga. La città, cinta d’assedio da 45.000 uomini e difesa da forze tre volte inferiori, oppose una fiera resistenza per quasi mezzo anno, finché fu costretta alla resa il 13 agosto 1487. Il re Fernando il Cattolico negò ai vinti una capitolazione onorevole e, ad eccezione di alcuni disertori, i 15.000 sopravvissuti della città furono condannati a morte o ridotti in schiavitù. La città seguì poi le sorti della Spagna, ma non trasse beneficio dai commerci con le Americhe. Nel 1831 Málaga fu il teatro dell’esecuzione di José María Torrijos, liberale spagnolo in lotta contro l’assolutismo di Fernando VII. A ricordo del suo sacrificio è stato eretto un obelisco in Plaza de la Merced. Málaga fu anche città pioniera nei tempi della rivoluzione industriale, in cui per lungo tempo contese a Barcellona la palma di città più industrializzata del paese. In quest’epoca di rapido sviluppo emersero la famiglia Larios e il politico conservatore Antonio Cánovas del Castillo. Durante la guerra civile spagnola, Málaga venne bombardata dai nazionalisti e dall’aviazione fascista mandata da Mussolini; l’attacco provocò una fuga massiccia verso la zona repubblicana di Almería. La città fu infine presa dai franchisti l’8 febbraio 1937. Negli anni del dopoguerra per la città iniziò una fase di espansione dovuta al crescente afflusso di turisti verso la Costa del Sol, che negli anni Sessanta assunse il ritmo di un vero e proprio boom economico ed edilizio. Ancora oggi Málaga è in fase di espansione grazie al turismo, alle attività connesse ed al terziario.
