| Malaga is the capital city of the Costa del Sol, founded by the Phoenicians as a colony some 3000 years ago it has come under the rule of the Romans, the Carthaginians and the Moors. A city of some 600,000 inhabitants, it lives a Janus faced life as both a busy port & industrial centre for the South of Spain, and the gateway to one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. Often competing with its neighbour, Seville, as to which claims to be the capital of the region of Andalusia - in reality neither is officially recognised, though this doesn't lessen the rivalry between the two cities.
