"En ninguna parte de España me sentí tan feliz y tan en casa como en Málaga. Las costumbres de sus gentes, su temperamento, el ancho mar, todo ello tan necesario y rico para mí, lo encontré allí. Y es más, encontré algo todavía más importante: gente amable y comprensiva". Hans Christian Andersen. Málaga, Octubre 1862. La Colonia Danesa a la Ciudad de Málaga - Octubre 1987.
