1. What Do You Know - Malaga

3. Malaga has become a vacation favourite for many people the world over and as such depending on
holiday planners you may like to plan on the various places to see and create a to do list before you
arrive. Some interesting and must see places in Malaga are:
•La Manquita -this is Malaga’s Cathedral and a must see for all the cities on tour. It is called “Santa
Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnacíon” but it is popularly known as 'La Manquita'. The
cathedral was constructed in 1528 and the construction work took two hundred and fifty (250)
years to get to the point it is today. However, construction is still incomplete as shown by the most
significant and noticeable unfinished area is the South Tower.
•The Bridge of the Germans - El Puente de Los Alemanes - in December 1900 a storm wrecked
the German frigate - Gneisenau and many citizens of Malaga tried to rescue the sailors.
However, even some of the rescuers fell victim to the storm and lost their lives that day. Years later
in 1907, the river Guadalmedina overflowed and destroyed the existing bridge that was over the
river. Upon hearing this the German people returned the favour by making collections for the
construction of the “Puente de los Alemanes”, that is the “Bridge of the Germans”.
•Malaga has its own Roman amphitheatre - at the foot of the Citadel or ‘alcazaba’, Malaga has
one of its most unique historical remains. The remains of the three most important cultures found in
Malaga; Jewish, Arabic and Roman, and these have left this phenomenon imprint.

4. •Malaga Pompidou - this is the first location of the Pompidou outside of France. ‘The
Cube’ houses a collection of varied artefacts from Leger, Magitte and Frida Kahlo,
Giacometti.
•Malaga’s Moorish ‘alcazaba’ - One article described it as “one of the mightiest and
most extensive, that dates back to the 8th century. The fortress views the city’s
restored Roman amphitheatre which showcases the city’s history.”
•Malaga has a lot of celebrations, one blogger from the city stated that, “whenever we
find a reason to party, we will”. Thus there are a number of celebrations and public
holidays that are held throughout the year. The biggest party ever is in the middle of
August, the Feria. It is a week-long party that fills the city with music and dancing both
day and night. The majority of other holidays are connected to the Catholic religion,
such as the week before Easter known as the ‘Holy Week’, which is one of the most
important religious celebrations and holidays in Malaga. If you visit Malaga during this
time you will find that many shops and businesses are closed, however, you will get
the chance to celebrate the Holy Week Malaga style and possibly see the more than
sixty (60) religious floats that are carried around the city centre as part of the
celebration during that week.
