Molina Lario

The Molina Lario is a new high quality 4-star hotel with the best location, in front of the cathedral, in the historic, commercial and cultural centre of Málaga, just a few metres from the port and Picasso Museum. It occupies the Iberian Peninsula and is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. This privileged location allows you to visit the most important city landmarks, all of which are within walking distance. It also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla Its total surface area is 504,788 sq kms Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. These include the Roman amphitheatre, the Alcazaba or the Castle of Gibralfaro. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Close to all kind of shops and restaurants, the hotel is a 2 minute walk from the famous main street of Málaga, Larios. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating Civil War (1936-39). You are also close to Playa de la Malagueta, the most emblematic beach of the city, where you can enjoy sea and sun during the summer. In the second half of the 20th century, it has played a catch-up role in the western international community. The Molina Lario is a newly built hotel, consisting of 3 buildings, 2 of which have been completely refurbished, keeping the original 19th century façade, and the 3rd is absolutely new. Continuing concerns are large-scale unemployment and the Basque separatist movement The diversity and contrast that go to mould the character of Spain are likewise in evidence in its cities. Together, these comprise a unique hotel set in the heart of the city. Celts, Iberians, Phoenicians and, at a later date, the Greco-Roman civilisation laid the first cornerstones of urban settlements which, to this day, bear the marks of their passage through time During the Middle Ages, Arabic, Jewish and Christian cultures, singly and through a process of mutual cross-influence, gave rise to the birth of cities which have come to house an historical-artistic heritage of incalculable proportions Tradition alone does not suffice Modernity too is essential, and this was something certain Spanish monarchs –Charles III for one– managed to successfully apply during their reigns in order to beautify townscapes, like that of Madrid, with parks and landmark monuments, thereby instilling the city with a spirit of renewal.
