Malaga
Description
International visitors to Spain's Costa del Sol almost invariably pass through Malaga, a 3,000-year-old city steeped in Phoenician, Roman, Christian, and Islamic history. This program brings Malaga to life with studies of its monuments, religious buildings, cultural centers, and other important sites. Viewers will encounter the famed Alcabaza fortress, thought to have been constructed using materials recycled from the city's Roman-era theater, and the adjacent Gibralfaro Castle. Spotlighting Malaga's cathedral and its mixed building styles, the program also explores the central market, the Dockyards, the Botanical Park, and the Museo Picasso, while highlighting popular Holy Week festivities.
