MALAGA

Málaga, located on the southern coast of Spain, is one of the oldest cities in Europe, with more than 2,800 years of history. Founded by the Phoenicians and later ruled by Romans and Muslims, Málaga preserves a rich cultural heritage that is reflected in its architecture, streets, and traditions.

Today, Málaga is a modern and vibrant city that blends history and contemporary life in a harmonious way. The old town, with landmarks like the Alcazaba, the Roman Theatre, and the Cathedral of the Incarnation, invites you to walk or run among remnants of different eras. Very close by is the Picasso Museum, dedicated to the famous Málaga-born painter, and a must-visit for art lovers.

In addition to its cultural value, Málaga stands out for its Mediterranean climate, with more than 300 days of sunshine per year, making it an ideal destination in any season. Its beaches, such as La Malagueta and Pedregalejo, are perfect for enjoying the sea and sun. It’s also a great place to savor Andalusian cuisine—especially grilled sardine skewers (espetos), fried fish (pescaíto frito), tapas, and the region’s typical sweet wine.

In recent years, Málaga has undergone a remarkable transformation thanks to technological development and investment in infrastructure. The port, renovated and full of life, welcomes international cruise ships and offers a wide range of leisure options with shops, restaurants, and promenades.

Additionally, its international airport and high-speed train (AVE) connections make it easily accessible from other cities in Spain and Europe.
Málaga is also a festive city, where events such as Holy Week—declared of International Tourist Interest—and the August Fair, full of color, music, and tradition, are celebrated with great enthusiasm.

In short, Málaga is a city that has it all: history, art, beaches, gastronomy, a climate that invites you to enjoy outdoor sports, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes anyone who visits want to come back.

Every year, among many others, the city hosts three standout races: the Half Marathon in March, the Gibralfaro Night Trail in September, and the main event, the Marathon, in December. All of them are clear examples of Málaga’s strong commitment to running.
