Malaga is a beautiful city! It's the largest city on the "costa del sol", and very mediterranean. It was a beautiful place to spend a weekend. It was founded around 800 BC by the Phoenicians, and is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Our AirBnB was right in the city center and perfectly situated for the restaurants, castles, and the beach!

The Cathedral was pretty grand, with a nice baroque facade. It only had one tower, which you can barely see on the left side of the picture. The other tower was scrapped, and the money that was going to be spent building it was instead sent to American revolutionaries fighting the British. It somehow felt slightly patriotic seeing the missing tower.

We also had some really great paella there. We got mixta with chicken wings and all kinds of scrumptious sea food in it.
