Useful information about the flight from London Gatwick to Malaga
Malaga: history and culture on the Costa del Sol
Malaga was first colonised by the Phoenicians in 1000 BC. It was also ruled by the Romans and when governed by the Moors, it became a renowned Moorish city. The Christians later took over leadership.

December and January months are best avoided as the weather can be changeable. If your visit coincides with Easter, you'll catch the Holy Week Processions and early in the New Year, 6th January, the Procession of the Three Holy Kings takes place. During the last half of August, the city is set alight for 6 days, with firework displays and parties for the Feria de Malaga.
