Malaga, the birthplace of Picasso and the doorway to Spain's Costa del Sol, is a city rich with cultural heritage and stunning geography. From its spirited festivals to its historic structures, the city truly provides something for every traveler. Let’s explore the must-visit spots in this Andalusian gem.

The Alcazaba is a formidable fortress that stands testament to Malaga's Moorish past. The climb up to this palatial citadel is rewarded with panoramic views of the city and shimmering coastline.

Wandering through the heart of Malaga, one cannot miss the Cathedral of Malaga. Often referred to as 'La Manquita', or 'one-armed woman', due to its solitary tower, the cathedral is an impressive example of Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Its ornate interior and peaceful atmosphere make for an enlightening experience that touches the soul.

For art aficionados, the Picasso Museum is a tribute to the city's most renowned son, Pablo Picasso. Located in the Buenavista Palace, an elegant building itself, the museum showcases a vast array of Picasso's works. The diverse collection spans his entire career, providing insights into his evolving style and mastery. While there, immerse yourself in the beauty of his portraits, landscapes, and sculptures that have captivated the world.

La Malagueta Beach is the place to bask in the sun and enjoy the Mediterranean's azure waters. This bustling urban beach offers an array of activities and is perfectly equipped with sunbeds, umbrellas, and delightful chiringuitos (beach bars) where you can savour fresh seafood.

Another sight not to be missed is the Atarazanas Market, a vibrant hub of local life where senses are treated to an array of sights, smells, and tastes. The market's stunning stained glass and 19th-century ironwork are just as delightful as the fresh produce on offer.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the beauty of the Gibralfaro Castle, which looms over the city from its hilltop perch. Joined by a walkway to the Alcazaba, this fortress offers some of the best views of Malaga. The castle complex is surrounded by pine forests and is an ideal spot for a scenic hike.
