Good results at DRV conference
The Costa del Sol Tourist Board has considered its presence in the annual conference of the German Travel Association (Deutscher ReiseVerband, DRV), recently held in Budapest, as positive. Attending this event was in line with the strategy to earn the right for the Costa del Sol to be the seat of the 60th DRV Annual Conference in 2010, given the conference’s success when it was held in Málaga in the past. |

Picasso Museum
Opened in 2003, the Picasso Museum in Málaga operates in the Palacio de los Condes de Buenavista, a sixteenth-century building which used to host the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts. After a model rehabilitation and a wise use of space following contemporary criteria, it has become one of the cultural landmarks in modern Málaga. |
