Málaga is a city of approximately 600,000 inhabitants located on Spain's Mediterranean Coast. The city's sunny weather, scenic country side and abundant beaches has made it a popular destination for tourists from around the world. The city also enjoys a vibrant culture and academic atmosphere, attracting a significant population of international students who wish to learn Spanish. Málaga's history goes back nearly 3,000 years years to its founding by the Phoenicians. The city later experienced Roman and Arabic rule before being re-conquered by Spain's Catholic Kings in the 15th century. Evidence of Malaga's diverse past is easy to see - the Roman amphitheater "El Teatro Romano" and the Arabic fortress "La Alcazaba".
