Spain is a very popular golf destination, especially because of the climate but also by many beautifully landscaped golf courses and resorts.
In the south of Spain, on the Costa del Sol you will find most golf courses. This region is also known as the Costa del Golf.
In Spain are over 300 golf courses and is also a popular sport under the local population.
Often renting a buggy is almost a requirement, many courses are hilly and walking is not really an option because of the warm climate at the Costa del Sol.
Playing golf in Spain is as the rest of Spain, no rush, take your time and what you can´t finish today you can finish tomorrow! Most golf courses have a club house where you can have something to eat or drink.
Unlike the local population, the staff speaks good English. This makes playing golf in Spain very pleasant.

Catedral de la manquita
The
Cathedral of Malaga from the year 1487, and is built on the lot of the
former Mosque Aljama by the Catholic Kings Isabel and Fernando, just a
few days after the conquest of Malaga.
The
construction of the cathedral took more than two centuries, from the
second half of the 16th century to the third part of the 18th century,
which explains the interesting combination of styles. A
Gothic style in the lowest part, during the Renaissance one of the
temple doors and a baroque style in the decoration of the lintels and
the façade.
The choir from the 17th century is extraordinary. 40 of 58 wooden figures carved by the famous sculptor Pedro de Mena. The
magnificent organ, built by Julian de la Orden in 1871, are highly
valued by musical experts because of the excellent engineering and
phenomenal musical quality.
In the year 1782 was an end to the long construction process, with nogsteeds first tower until today has not been reduced. The work was completed by royal command when the tower was half built. The
money, which was intended for the construction of the second tower, was
used to Victims of Earthquake in Mobile, supporting America
For this reason, this Cathedral was given the nickname "La Manquita" (the little one-armed woman).
Definition
The
structure of the Cathedral of Malaga is based on massive pillars, made
using materials from the Sierra de Mijas and El Torcal in Antequera .. The
lower part of these pillars have been decorated to the first platform,
from there, the pillars have a square form, which is in direct
connection with the roof. The roof consists mainly of arches and round shapes.
The
Basilica consists of 3 rooms, each with the same height of 41.79
meters, however, the middle one is wider than the other 2 rooms.
One of the most beautiful rooms in the Cathedral is the majestic chapel "Capilla Mayor" which is the work of Diego de Vergara. This Chapel is half round with walls and high windows, closed with a semicircular roof which gives a spacious impression.
It's definitely worth it to go visit.
Hours:
10:00 to 18:00 from Monday to Friday.From 10:00 to 17:00 on Saturday.Closed on Sundays and public holidays.
Spanish food and drink
When it comes to food is Spain of course most famous for its tapas, a cluster of small and varied, often original snacks. Every bar and every restaurant has different tapas, something for everyone. Tasty, but also expensive. Especially in the center.
The specialty of Malaga is pescaíto frito, fried small fish. But Espetos, grilled sardines on a stick, are very popular. Another typical dish of Malaga is porra antequerana (a special kind of gazpacho). Gazpacho is a Spanish (for) dish. It is a cold soup of vegetables and herbs, usually with tomato. This soup is not heated but should be eaten cold
The name gazpacho comes from the Latin word caspa which stands for scrap or trifle. Even
before the Romans, the Spanish shepherds made a kind of gazpacho, because
gazpacho alleviate the hunger, quenches thirst and provides the body
with the necessary vitamins and salt.
Ingredients• Tomatoes• Red peppers• Cucumber• Onions• Water• Wine vinegar• Olive oil• Garlic• Salt• Croutons.
Some of these ingredients can be served separately, so that each can add them to your taste. The wine vinegar and olive oil must be of good quality according to the Spanish people.
A popular drink in Malaga is Cartojal, a slightly sweet wine that is sold in plastic bottles. Very practical, because during the famous Feria de Málaga, the street littered with plastic rather than glass. The wine "Malaga Virgen" is highly recommended, and with a nice
bottle of olive oil, a typical local product to take to the home as a gift.
Spaniards generally eat very late. They have breakfast until mid-morning. Lunch between 14:00 and 16:00 is the most important meal of the day. In the evening they wait to eat until the sun goes under (and cooler!), between 21.00 and 23.00.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born on October 25, 1881 in Plaza de la Merced, Malaga, Spain. Picasso was the only son of
the family and his handsome appearance and precocious talents did soon
get used it to praise and love, which would remain his whole life. Picasso's
father, José Ruiz Blasco, was also an artist - still lifes of dead game
and bushes lilac blossoms were his specialty , but to make ends meet he
gave drawing lessons and he was curator of the local museum. Both
Don Jose as Picasso's mother, Maria Picasso Lopez, encouraged the
artistic ambitions of their son, when he was very young very talented
proved. Later, Picasso took his mother's name, because 'Ruiz' in his region occurred much .Malaga
is not for nothing the city of Pablo Picasso, so you can also visit the
birthplace of Picasso next to the Picasso Museum (Casa Natal de
Picasso). On the Plaza de la Merced 15 you walk into life this artist. It
may be an everyday yellow corner house are on the market square Plaza
de la Merced, yet has clearly Pablo Picasso's signature written. When you want to see his real work, it is best
to visit the Picasso Museum, where you can admire more than 300 works. In this house you'll get a good picture of how the young Pablo grew and came into contact through his father with painting. Be sure to visit during a trip to Malaga! The
Picasso Museum is a museum in Malaga (Andalusia, Spain) located at the
Palacio de Buenavista in the vicinity of the birthplace of Pablo Picasso
located in the center of the city. It has approximately 300 works, including sculptures and ceramics. "The
Museo Picasso" in Malaga was founded on the initiative of the Junta de
Andalucía. The collection includes works from Picasso's youth as creations of the last phase of his life.
Malaga has a very active trading port. I
suggest you take a walk on the quay with the aim to find a nice view
over the city and as the Alcazaba, Gibralfaro Castle and the cathedral
to discover.
You
also get the chance to see the vibrancy of the maritime to do with
it, an atmosphere that is so different than the atmosphere in the city.
The
new port of Malaga, "Muelle 1" or "Muelle Uno" is the new promenade
with shops, cafes and restaurants, recreation for children and a
beautiful garden with palm trees.
Almost daily there are large cruise ships arriving in Malaga, in this new docking port. The
area is primarily intended for visitors from the ships, but it is also
an attractive area for the other tourists of the city and its
inhabitants.
The mall is on the side of the Paseo de la Farola - the effect is the same as the entrance of the gate. You
will find about 60 shops, offering a variety of fashion, accessories,
shoes, beauty products, flowers, furniture, decoration and food. Many
famous brands are represented, such as Mango, Amichi, Adolfo Dominguez,
Tommy Hilfinger, Bimba,, Timberland, Diesel, Roberto Verino, Andy
Craft, Mandragora, ETXART, Panno, Kiko, Lacoste, Levi's, Loft Six,
Decimas, and No. Bella.
The wide choice of restaurants makes it easy to create a perfect opportunity for lunch or dinner to find. Typical Spanish tapas and menus, Mexican food, Indian food and of course lots of fresh fish and seafood. The
restaurants have an inviting, modern and comfortable atmosphere, with
nice furniture, very different from all those plastic chairs and tables
that you often see here. Here you can enjoy your day and watch the people and the boats and the beautiful views of La Alcazaba.
Besides
this area you will find the new palm garden (Palmeral de las
Sorpresas), where you can relax between hundreds of palm trees with a
playground for children upon.
For the children there is an indoor playground, at the entrance to the underground car park and the palm tree garden.
There
is an underground parking garage right under "Muelle 1" is, so you do
not have to worry about parking or a long, long way to walk on your
visit to the new port.
