The New Cultural Center Of The World

By:

The rapid speed of modern life means that we are almost constantly moving from one engagement to another, with rarely a pause in our hectic schedules. Even our vacations are becoming rushed, with just enough time spent away from work to begin to slow down and relax, before you're rushing off again.

For someone who has been working their entire adult life, retirement can come as something of a shock. To suddenly have so much free time, with no work to fill it up... At first, you just want to relax. Take a break. Maybe do all those things you've always said you would do. Now you can start that book you always meant to write, learn to play the lute, catch up with old acquaintances. Whatever it is.

Nevertheless, you'll soon find that everything that seemed so important before gradually begins to lose its meaning. You've already spent so long working, why would you want to continue? You get used the casual pace, and the chance to do something different. Take advantage of this opportunity. Leave your home town, your home country even, and go explore. Find somewhere nice to relax in.

The place for this, is Costa del Sol. The south coast of Spain has, in recent years, rather usurped Paris' former position as the leader of culture and art in Europe. The root of this rise to fame, is the great city of Malaga. Backed by more than 3000 years of history, Malaga is filled with icons of cultural significance, such as the ancient Moorish fort of Alcazabar.

More modern entertainment is also available, for example the renowned Picasso museum, which is well worth a visit even if you are not a particular fan, if only to learn a little more about one of the key figures in modern painting. Classy restaurants abound, as well as an excellent selection of theatres, and the stunning scenery itself is always a big draw.

Mountain peaks brush the sky, wreathed in clouds, while a broad stretch of shining white sands marks the coast. Across a short stretch of water lies the mysterious continent of Africa, a presence that can just be seen in the distance, while between you lies beautifully clear water. Perfect for swimming, or just boating on. If you're not interested in these natural wonders, then you can take a look at some of the more man made displays, such as the bright sugar-cube villages that are scattered here and there, shimmering in the sun.

If you ever get bored of the city, and want something just a little more adventurous, there are dozens of golf courses right nearby, for which the area is justly famous. Given the range of them, and the gentle weather generally found there, you are practically guaranteed to have somewhere to gold at any time of the year. If you can ever find the time, of course, with so much else to do!

In the end, if you want somewhere to retire, or even just a beautiful place to spend your next vacation, I can highly recommend the Costa del Sol. So head on down, and check out the worlds next great cultural center.
