History, Art, and Culture
Malaga’s history stretches back over 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe. A must is to visit Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress built in the 11th century. Don’t miss the iconic Malaga Cathedral, called La Manquita (the one-armed lady), known for its unique Renaissance and Baroque architecture blend. If you enjoy art, you should visit the Picasso Museum. As the birthplace of Picasso, Malaga proudly displays over 200 artist’s works there.
Take a stroll down Calle Larios, the city’s main shopping street. Enjoy a day at La Malagueta Beach, one of the city’s most popular urban beaches. Its golden sands and calm waters make it perfect for a relaxing day by the Mediterranean Sea. Don’t miss the chance to savour espeto—grilled sardines on a skewer—at one of the many beachside restaurants for an authentic taste of Malaga.
For food lovers, a trip to the Atarazanas Market is a must. Sample fresh cheeses, olives, and Iberian ham, and explore Malaga’s rich culinary offerings. Malaga’s gastronomy blends its Mediterranean location with a Moorish influence, making it a true delight for food enthusiasts.
Take a trip to Caminito del Rey, a cliffside hike with breathtaking views of the region’s natural beauty.
Malaga truly offers something for everyone, whether you’re drawn by its history, art, food, or landscapes.
