Málaga is a city and municipality in Spain, the capital of the province of the same name, located in Andalusia, in the south of the country.
With a population of 574,654 inhabitants as of January 1, 2019, Málaga is the sixth most populated city in Spain, the second in Andalusia, and the forty-sixth in the European Union. It is also the largest coastal city in southern Spain, as well as the largest city that is not a regional capital. Furthermore, it is the most densely populated urban area of the conurbation formed by the towns along 160 km of the Costa del Sol, and the center of a metropolitan area that extends beyond its municipal limits to include 12 other municipalities, which together have a registered population of 987,813 inhabitants. Málaga is considered the fifth-largest metropolitan area in Spain.
Situated at the westernmost end of the Mediterranean Sea and the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, Málaga lies about 100 km east of the Strait of Gibraltar. Its municipal territory covers an area of 398.25 km², extending over the Montes de Málaga and the Guadalhorce Valley. The city is located in the center of a bay surrounded by mountain ranges. Two rivers, the Guadalmedina and the Guadalhorce, cross through the city, flowing into the Mediterranean Sea.
Founded by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BC, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe, Málaga became first a federated and later a Latin-right municipality under the Roman Empire. It was also a prosperous Andalusian medina, serving as the capital of its own kingdom four times before being incorporated into the Crown of Castile in 1487. In the 19th century, Málaga experienced significant industrial and revolutionary activity, becoming the first industrial city in Spain and earning the titles of "Always Courageous" and "First in the Danger of Freedom." The city was the scene of one of the bloodiest episodes of the Spanish Civil War and played a key role during the tourism boom of the 1960s and 1970s. Today, Málaga is a prominent cultural, economic, and entertainment center, and an important transportation hub along the Mediterranean coast.
Málaga's extensive infrastructure network makes the city easily accessible by air, train, road, or sea. Its international airport connects to major European capitals. By road, the city is linked to all points along the Costa del Sol via the A-7 highway. Additionally, its train and bus stations, located in central areas, are well connected to other modes of transportation, ensuring seamless travel throughout the region.
By car
Málaga is connected to the rest of the Iberian Peninsula by road through the A-45 and A-92 highways. The A-45 links with the A-4 (Autovía del Sur), which provides a direct route to Madrid. The A-92, which crosses all of Andalusia, connects with other major highways across the country. The A-45 allows entry into Málaga through Ciudad Jardín, providing access to the city center or the eastern and western bypasses when heading to other areas of the city. Road connections to other coastal towns are made via the A-7 (Autovía del Mediterráneo), which runs along the entire coast of the province of Málaga.
