The Most Attractive Tourist Town Malaga - Spain

Topic: Travel-Destination
The city of Malaga located in the south of Spain, is on the seashore of the Mediterranean Sea. This is one of the most beautiful places in Spain.

Favorable geographic location:

The city is located near the Mediterranean Sea and on one of the most beautiful coves in a region called Andalucia. Because of its favorable geographical location, it is blessed with the best sunshine. The mountains provide protection to this city from winds. The city is well connected with wide roads and rows of palm trees welcome the tourists.

Places of interest:

Like most parts of Spain, Malaga also has many things to offer the tourists. There is a castle which is believed to have been built by a local community called the ’moors’. This is now a state guest house. The castle has the most impressive elevation. It provides the most spectacular view of the surroundings. The park on the Calle Alameda area is also believed to have been built during the 19th century. It is now a famous botanical garden where many rare species of botanical plants brought from Europe have been planted. There is a most impressive museum which was actually a fortress believed to have been built in the year 1065. There are also many places for merry making; dancing and concerts are held almost every day. Particularly on every Sunday of the winter season, these concerts are held in the open air so that one can enjoy the natural cool breeze from the coast.

Museum:

Malaga is the birth place of the famous artist Picasso. Picasso was an artist of great caliber. Artists are of the opinion that Picasso is ultimate and none equal to him were born earlier and none will be born in future. A separate museum has been built next to the world famous palace where the works of Picasso have been exhibited. The entire museum has been built by highly experienced craftsmen who have exhibited their superb crafts work. The birth place of Picasso is kept open to the public.

Choicest Cuisine:

Malaga is the best place to taste the different types of food. The food is reasonably priced. Many traditional foods including the famous pescaito frito (a type of small fish found only on the beaches along the Malaga) are served which are reasonably priced. Ah! To relax there are many golf courses. In fact, Malaga has the best golf courses in the world.

Just a visit will convince the tourist.

Topic: Travel-Destination
Yes, it is really so. This is a wonderful country; look at its nature, culture and tradition, museums, parks, monuments, churches, buildings, villas, it is all wonderful. Some of the wonderful traditions which have attracted tourists are mentioned in this article:

La Corrida:

This is actually bullfight. This tradition is so old that it dates back to the time of Plato. In Spain, La Corrida is considered to represent virility and it is followed as a ritual from time immemorial. During medieval period, La Corrida training centers were established. Now, this game is held every Sunday afternoon. The bull fighter and his two assistants who are on a horse pierce blades on the back of the bull. This will weaken the bull and a fully tired bull is then killed by a metallic sword. The dead bull is treated with dignity; after a procession it is given to the butcher. Many tourists congregate to view this bull fight. Although some do not agree with this fight, many still acclaim this tradition.

Toledo:

Toledo is the name of a city in Spain as well as the name of a festival held annually in that city. This festival is so popular that people from different faiths and religions congregate to celebrate this festival. In fact this festival has been declared as an ‘international tourist event’. In short, the festival is marked to celebrate the most cohesive living of people belonging to three different cultures and religions; namely, Christians, Arabs and Jews in the city of Toledo since about 8 AD.

The festival is held at Mosque of Cristo de la Luz, a place in Toledo. To reach this holy place, people have to cross three holy gates which represent the three religions. Special Toledo cuisine is prepared which consists of mushrooms and stewed partridge. Special soups are also prepared. A mind blowing colorful procession is also held. The festival is held nine weeks after Easter. For the people of Toledo, Corpus Christi is a holy day which is celebrated with great religious fervor.

During the period of this festival, the tourists never miss visiting the church of Santa Maria, San Juan Bautista which is believed to have been built centuries ago. Tourists also take this opportunity to visit the old castle, National park and mountains surrounding this city.

It is always advisable to book the accommodation in advance. There are many apartments and villas in Toledo to welcome the tourists.
