It is probably...
Judging only by this information:
Don Jose Ruiz, Pablo’s father, was director of the museum at Malaga in southern Spain...
Life in Malaga was very pleasant. In the hot, Mediterranean sunshine father and son would walk down to the beach to look at the boats on the shore or wander round the open markets....
Malaga is probably…
1) an island in the Mediterranean.
2) a sea port in Spain.
3) an inland city in southern Spain.
That's definately not 3-rd variant,because there's water and boats on the shore.
P.S: Actually Málaga is a Spanish city in Andalusia, on the Mediterranean coast.

Understood. It's just weird for me to call a place with museums and other stuff as a sea port, because in my opinion port is a place for ships and boats only.

Silvia BlackMalaga is probably…1) an island in the Mediterranean.If it was an island, then the phrase "the museum at Malaga in southern Spain..." had to be changed into the "the museum at Malaga on the Spanish island of Mallorca/Ibiza/etc..." which is false.
