Vélez-Málaga, the capital of Axarquía and a municipality with 22 kilometres of coastline, preserves a past marked by Romans, Phoenicians and, above all, by a deep Moorish influence, visible in its streets and in its monuments, including the Fortaleza and the ancient mosques that have been transformed into churches. Today, it combines heritage, beaches and a thriving subtropical agriculture that exports avocados and mangoes to half the globe, as well as a cultural dynamism linked to the figure of María Zambrano.
- Vélez-Málaga has already hosted a La Vuelta stage departure once before.
- 85,990 inhabitants.
