Discover Málaga

Málaga, a port city on Spain’s Costa del Sol, combines beaches with cultural treasures. The Alcazaba fortress and Gibralfaro Castle reflect its Moorish history, and the Picasso Museum celebrates Málaga’s famous artist. Beaches like La Malagueta are perfect for sun-seekers, and the historic center buzzes with tapas bars and lively markets. Málaga’s blend of history, art, and seaside atmosphere makes it a warm, inviting city on the Mediterranean coast.

Things to do
Neighbourhoods
  • Catedral de la Encarnación de Málaga

    Visit the Catedral de la Encarnación, a stunning example of Spanish religious art and architecture. Its unique, incomplete south tower has earned it the nickname "La Manquita" (the one-armed lady).

  • MAUS

    Discover MAUS, the grassroots arts project that regenerated the area between the city centre and port. The Soho area forms a living canvas for artists across the world to showcase their work.

  • Museo Picasso

    Uncover the life of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century in the Museo Picasso. Housed in a 16th-century palacio, the gallery is a work of architectural art in its own right.

  • La Alcazaba

    La Alcazaba is the second-largest Moorish fortress in Andalusia and is free to enter. The walls give great views of the city and Mediterranean coastline.
