Malaga, the provincial capital and the biggest city on the Costa del Sol, is roughly 8 kilometres from its international airport. Every day in Malaga, you can experience the buzz of city life combined with the sea breeze and beach life. The last decade has seen a dramatic change as the city has transformed its image from that of an industrial city to become a flourishing cultural centre. The city offers a wide range of activities and experiences. The port, the beach and the historical city centre have been redeveloped over the years and now offer a diversity of culture and commerce, as well as wonderful Andalusian cuisine. The wide range of experiences includes activities such as golf, hiking in the mountains, skiing and many aquatic activities, for example sailing all year round. There is a subtropical Mediterranean climate so the city enjoys sunshine all year and has some of the warmest winters in Europe, with a daytime temperature that rarely falls below 15 degrees
