Why choose Málaga?

For the diversity of its cultural patrimonium from the Phoenicians to Picasso. For its excellent climate and location at the sea.

And finally because arriving in Málaga is very easy.

Málaga enjoys excellent communications

By airplane: International Airport (Code AGP. Hostal La Palma is located only 12 KM from the Airport). All low-cost leading airlines fly to Málaga Airport.
By train: excellent railway infrastructure, with high-speed trains from Málaga to Madrid, Sevilla and Córdoba (www.renfe.es)
By bus: the bus network allows you to travel at affordable prices along the Costa del Sol, as well as to inland typical locations (Antequera, Mijas, Ronda). You will be also able to visit Granada, with a service of 1 bus per hour. (www.estabus.emtsam.es)

If you decide to take a minitrip to Morocco, there is a regular ferry boat line to Melilla.

The highlights:

In the city: The Cathedral, the Alcazaba, the Alcazar, the Museum of Picasso.
Nearby: with the coastal train: the tourist resorts of Torremolinos and Fuengirola
Within one hour per bus or car: Marbella and its 'posh' port Puerto Banus

Or here is that other thing for which Málaga is just perfect...

Lazy'ing about, from tapa bar to tapa bar, from Calle Larios to Plaza de la Merced.

Flower shop on the Main Alameda, a one minute walk from the hostal.
