We’ve been saying it for a long time… Málaga offers so much more than the cocktail of sun,sea and sangria it is most famous for.
The Costa del Sol’s capital has finally received the recognition it deserves by being included as a ‘Top Destination’ and ‘Best Places to Go’ in two of the world’s most popular travel guides: Rough Guides and Frommers.
Rough Guides has placed the Costa del Sol’s capital in second place on their list of top destinations around the world. The editors and authors of this popular guide were quick to point out Malaga’s cultural treasures…
“In 2015, a cube-shaped building on the quay will swing open its doors as an offshoot of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, featuring works by Málaga-born Pablo Picasso. Other projects signalling Málaga’s cultural revival include a new museum of Russian art, set to light up a former tobacco factory, and the continued development of mural-daubed Soho, which attracts trailblazing street artists.”
Frommers, another of the most respected and well established travel guides in the world has also included Malaga in its list of ‘Best Places to Go in 2015”!
They make specific reference to the city’s rich culture and mild winter temperatures as well as the fact that many tourists have yet to discover its charms (qualifying it as a find!). Another of the ‘talking points’ is the city’s selection as the site for the first ‘Pop-Up Pompidou’. Due to open in the spring the museum will play an important role in Malaga’s resurgence as a top cultural travel destination.
The new Palmeral and Muelle Uno waterfront promenade together with the new Carmen Thyssen museum also deserve a mention in contributing to Malaga’s popularity as a top winter destination.
There is no doubt that 2015 is going to be a great year for Malaga. It truly is a fantastic option for travellers who wish to enjoy the cultural treasures of one of Spain’s most vibrant cities and also enjoy the sunshine and warm weather it’s already famous for.
