    ANDALUCÍA AND COSTA DEL SOL GUIDE Made by Dorling Kindersley 26. February 2010 PERSONAL GUIDES POWERED BY traveldk.com 1 Highlights Andalucía and Costa del Sol Guide Highlights Moorish Granada: The Alhambra The great complex of the Alhambra is the best-preserved medieval Arab palace in the world and, with nearly two million visitors annually, it is also the most popular monument in Spain. Built on the largely inaccessible Sabika Hill overlooking the city of Granada, its most distinctive phase began in the 11th century as the qa’lat al-Hamra (Red Fort) of the Ziridian rulers. From the 13th to almost the end of the 15th century the kings of the succeeding Nasrid dynasty embellished the site in a most spectacular fashion. The later Christian additions, although handsome in their own right, are generally thought to clash with the delicate, evocative architecture of the Moors.

Byrne, Christiansen, Seirawan, Tal among the winners by JAN VAN REEK (R.I.P.): http://www.endgame.nl/costa_del_sol.html, with an additional survey When tourism developed at the Spanish coast, it became feasible to organize an annual chess event during the off-season. A long series of master chess tournaments was played annually at the Costa del Sol from 1961 until 1987. Main venues were Torremolinos and Malaga (Note: Later and independently, there had been an Open series in Malaga, too). The inaugural event happened at Hotel Pez Espada in Torremolinos from 24 i until 7 ii 1961. Six Spaniards and six foreigners competed. It became a race between Gligoric and Pomar Salamanca. Great Gligoric won on tie-break and got a trophy. Five grandmasters participated in Malaga 1964. Pomar Salamanca won, ahead of joint Lengyel, and Portisch. Hotel Pez Espade in Torremolinos Pomar Salamanca - Eliskases in 1961 Pomar Salamanca - O'Kelly de Galway in 1962 The formulae started to change in 1969, because the number of participants in the closed contest started to differ from twelve. Pomar Salamanca won in 1971 by defeating Timman in the last round. Pomar Salamanca, O'Kelly de Galway, and Benko (co-)won the tournament three times. Eugenio Torre scored a grandmaster result in the Hotel Cervantes during the edition of 1974.
