Málaga

Málaga is a well-known city in the south of Spain, which is the sixth largest city in the country in terms of the number of permanent residents. If we look only in Andalusia, it is the second most populous settlement after Seville. Directly in the city lives about 580000 inhabitants, and if we take the entire metropolitan area so it is about 900000 inhabitants.

Málaga is a very important transport hub not only in the region, but also within the entire Iberian Peninsula. It has not only an important port, but also an international airport. You will also find a university in the city.

Of course, it is also a very popular tourist destination.
