AN INTRODUCTION TO MALAGA A city with a rich historic and cultural tradition, Malaga was founded by the Phoenicians around 800 B.C. and later colonised by Iberians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Christians. Its privileged position on the shores of the Mediterranean, its mild climate and the friendliness of its inhabitants have all meant that the capital of the Costa del Sol has, throughout its history, sustained excellent trade and cultural relations all over the world. Nowadays, Malaga is a modern, cosmopolitan and welcoming city with over 600,000 inhabitants, which has successfully developed its commercial, industrial and tourist sectors. WEATHER/CLOTHING General Information Malaga is a Mediterranean city with a very mild climate. Winter temperatures very rarely drop below 10ºC and in autumn and spring the average temperature is about 20-25ºC, although evenings can be a lot cooler. Average rainfall for the region is normally quite low. Nevertheless it can rain torrentially during the autumn and spring months. SHOPPING HOURS Normal opening hours: 10.00-14.00 and 17.00-20.30. There are several Shopping Centres open from 10.00 to 22.00, for instance, El Corte Inglés (up market department store), Centro Larios and Málaga Plaza. Although shops are usually closed on Sundays, there are a number of shops that might be opened in the city centre. THE UNIVERSITY In its more than 40 years of existence the University of Malaga has taken on a major role as both principal catalyst of the cultural life of the city and fundamental platform for future developments in the fields of technology and research. The University of Malaga constitutes one of the three vertices of the so-called productive triangle of the city, together with the International Airport and the PTA or Parque Tecnológico de Andalucía (Andalusian Science and Technology Park). The latter has close ties with the University due to the constant flow of ideas, highly qualified professionals and advanced technologies. At present the University of Malaga has two campuses, El Ejido and Teatinos, in addition to a few other buildings located in different parts of the city. The ultimate objective of the policy of the university regarding infrastructure is to eventually have all university centres and services located on the Teatinos Campus. 6
