Málaga, Andalucía

About two and a half hours from Seville by train, Málaga lies at the heart of the coastal resort region known as the Costa del Sol. The hometown of Antonio Banderas and Pablo Picasso, the city was known as a bastion of the liberal cause in the early nineteenth century. Like many cities in the region, at its heart lies the remains of a former Moorish palace and fortress complex. At its base lay the ruins of a Roman amphitheater. Surely one of the finer perks of a visit to this town is the wealth and variety of fresh seafood found in nearly all the bars, always served seared with locally-grown, chilled white wine - not a bad way to pass a Sunday!
