Málaga is a revelation. For years I’d just viewed it as an airport with an unremarkable city on its outskirts. But having visited recently with Julian, I am glad to report that the city is so much more.

As one of the oldest cities in the world, Málaga has been occupied at various points through its history by the Phoenicians, the Romans and the Arabs, all of whom left their mark on the city giving it some rather lovely architecture and design.
