Today, Malaga is home to 600,000 people and is the largest southernmost city in Europe. The economy is centred on Malaga's reputation as a popular tourist resort, the construction industry is thriving and business in Malaga generally is being widely promoted. The city is the financial hub of Southern Spain, with a developing technology industry and research facilities centred on the university, and aspirations for Malaga to become Europe's Silicon Valley.
