This tourist spot in Malaga, Spain, was first built in 1855. The construction was designed and initiated by the Marquis and Marchioness of Loring.

With its uniqueness, it is certain that this botanical garden is a garden with a very large collection of plant species from around the world.

Malaga - A city with a mix of Beaches & Parties perhaps it can be called as Miami of Europe from here you can explore

The beaches begin at the Morro de Levante, a pier marking the entrance to Malaga port. Towards the east of the pier you'll find the Malagueta beaches, 2,500 metres in length and bordered by the Pablo Ruiz Picasso promenade.

The promenade runs alongside one of the main beaches serving the city, Playa Caleta - it's clean, well-maintained and equipped and within easy walking distance of the town centre. From here you can see the seawalls of the nearby port and the seemingly endless coastline of the Costa del Sol.

On the far side of the port, off Calle Larios, you'll find another popular beach - Playa de la Malagueta which also has good facilities including showers. This is where the closing ceremonies of the city's annual fiesta takes place. If you can, try to plan your holiday around this spectacular fair which takes place in the first two weeks of August. It's one of the biggest fiestas in Andalucia, attracting some three million visitors with a noisy, chaotic and fun-filled street party which continues round-the-clock. One of the best ways to enjoy the city lights, garlands and fireworks at this time of year is from a boat in the port area.

Adjacent to Playa de la Malagueta is a strip of bars and restaurants which buzz with nightlife when the sun goes down.

All along this stretch of coast you'll find good seafront restaurants with local fresh fish specialties. Try one of the many "chiringuitos" - the beach bars where you can enjoy a cold drink and some local tapas.

One can also travel by car to Marbella where they can party whole night long on the famous street Purto Banus with Pubs & Dance floors on both the sides of the road.

This is a place definetly worth a visit.

We spent 2 weeeks in 2010 in Malaga, renting a condo that overlooked the Mediterranean. The area is beautiful and the people are very friendly. There are a lot of Brits who holiday in the area, so while I enjoyed using my Spanish it was also nice to speak my native tongue of English too. We took day trips to Gibraltar, the city of Ronda, famous for it's bullfighting arena, and a favorite of Ernest Hemingway's. We also visited the Picasso museum in Malaga, his hometown. We did another day trip to Al Hambre, the last moorish castle in Spain and where Christopher Columbus said goodbye to Ferdinand and Isabella. This area is steep in history, notorious as a place for the crooks of Europe to hide out and for the rich to vacation. The scenery is breathtaking! We missed the last ferry to Morocco, but I would recommend going with a tour to Africa for the day. I would strongly recommend this area, you won't be disappointed! Just watch out for the gypsies at the main attractions.
