The inhabitants of this city have developed a very welcoming attitude towards tourists and the integration is not is really a problem for foreigners.
Culture is not enough, however. Other aspects are taken into consideration before being named the capital of culture such as infrastructure, for example. The effort being made by the city from this point of view is truly commendable.
The new train station María Zambrano, opened in 2006, boasts the biggest station in Spain. It has nothing to do with the old train station, also because it is not just a station train.

Malaga will have its new and modern subway soon. Construction work began in 2005 and so far the project has two lines.

Moreover, the line will start two services that operate between Guadalmedina season and the season of Martin Carpena, the end of the line. However, there is the possibility that in the future this line could be extended to the area Guadalmar and Malaga airport.
Another important area of the city has seen radical changes is the port of Malaga. This port was almost certainly founded by the Phoenicians, and is three thousand years old. Deals especially on imported products like cereals, cement and petroleum Coke, but there are also scheduled to Melilla and weekly cruise traffic. Since 1998, has been undergoing a process of modernization and expansion as a result will have twice area the size it is today. One of the most important changes is the realization of an external port that will allow the berthing of the largest cruise ship in the world.
Last but not least, the airport of Malaga has undergone a vast expanse of years and is expected to end in 2010. If we speak in terms of air traffic, this airport is the third largest airport in Spain after Madrid and Barcelona.
