Málaga (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmalaɣa]; Phoenician: מַלַחַה, Malaḥa) is a city and a municipality in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, Spain. With a population of 568,507 in 2010, it is the second most populous city of Andalusia and the fifth largest in Spain. This is the southernmost large city in Europe. It lies on the Costa del Sol (Coast of the Sun) of the Mediterranean, about 100 km (62.14 mi) east of the Strait of Gibraltar and about 130 km (80.78 mi) north of Africa.
Málaga enjoys a subtropical–mediterranean climate. It has one of the warmest winters in Europe, with average temperatures of 17 °C (62.6 °F) during the day and 7–8 °C (45–46 °F) at night in the period from December through February. The summer season lasts about eight months, from April through November, although in the remaining four months temperatures sometimes reach around 20 °C (68.0 °F).
Málaga's history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in the world. It was founded by the Phoenicians as Malaka about 770 BC, and from the 6th century BC was under the hegemony of Ancient Carthage. Then from 218 BC it was ruled by the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire as Malaca (Latin). After the fall of the empire it was under Islamic Arab domination as Mālaqah (مالقة) for 800 years, but in 1487 it came under the dominion of the Spaniards in the Reconquista. The archaeological remains and monuments from the Phoenician, Roman, Arabic and Christian eras make the historic center of the city an "open museum", displaying its rich history of more than 3,000 years.
Water as far as I can see
Breathing in this liberty no one could ever take away
Raindrops falling out of the air
What it is I just don't care, what will be will be today
Don't you want this place to be alone?
Open and a million miles from home
Eating, drinking
Hearts beating, thinking what will come, to us will come after a year
Listen let's not hurry, when you're rushing things get blurry
And today, everything's so clear
So what happens, just let it
No I won't forget these days I spend with you
Even if we don't reach the stars, this world is ours
At last, at long last we're free
What if the world could stop
And let you have your life again
Would you not relive it from the start?
Cuz feelings can't be replicated
Pictures will go lost or faded but oh
This view was burned into my heart
So what happens, just let it
No I won't forget these days I spend with you
Even if we don't reach the stars, this world is ours
At last, at long last we're free
I have this dream I'm lost but through the darkness
A hand, and it leads me home
And now I know, know where i go I can rest assured
She'll be there to guide me
Don't you want this place to be alone?
I'm talking bout someplace you could dare to call your own
So what happens, just let it
No I won't forget these days I spend with you
Even if we don't reach the stars, this world is ours
At last, at long last we're free
Burned in our hearts when it's gone, here is Malaga
Burned in our hearts when it's gone, gone is Malaga
Burned in our hearts when it's gone, here is Malaga
