Málaga: City of Paradise, A Journey Through 2,800 years.

This book is the story of MÃ¡laga, the second oldest continuously inhabited city in Western Europe. It takes readers on a fascinating journey from the cityâ€™s foundation by the Phoenicians 2,800 years ago, through the successive occupation by Romans, Visigoths and Moors, the re-conquest by the Catholic Monarchs, the decline of the 16th and 17th centuries, the valleys and peaks of the 18th and 19th centuries, and the tumultuous events of the 20th century, to its present time as thriving capital of the Costa del Sol and one of the most popular city breaks in Europe.
Here, interspersed throughout the narrative, readers will meet an array of colourful characters from all walks of life (from the crypto-Christian rebel Omar Ben HafsÃºn to el golpista, Antonio Tejero Molina), all of whom have left their mark on the city. Other topics of interest, such as MÃ¡lagaâ€™s historic monuments, its Botanical Gardens and its cultural gems, are also discussed in Ronald Pilkingtonâ€™s engaging story.
This book will not only appeal to readers who want to delve deeper into MÃ¡lagaâ€™s long and varied past, but also to those who are planning to visit this ancient Mediterranean city for the first time.
