It's a hard life ;)
Well Malaga is huge compared to nearly all of the inland cities we have seen on this trip.
Sadly all the usual large city rules apply; over developed busy streets, traffic, noise etc, but its does have a nice beach, if a little busy, and more historic buildings/features than I gave it credit for.
All in all we couldn't warm to this city, party because we are not fans of cities at the best of times, also as a package tour hot spot the vendors etc have a jaded approach to non locals.
Or maybe I'm just a grumpy old git ?
Take your pick :)

On a recent trip to the Costa del Sol we only had a day trip to Malaga city and yes it is very much like other large cities. We were actually staying in Calahonda and our local bar was The Loft, where the staff could not do enough for us. Everyone was so helpful and pleased to see us it really made our trip.
