GET TO KNOW MALAGA

Malaga is the fifth most populated city in Spain. Located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, it is also known as the capital of the Costa del Sol. This fresh and modern city, combines beach, history, art, and life - you will find its culture both at street level, in its monuments of Arab and Roman origin, and in its many museums.

One of the most emblematic monuments of Malaga is the Alcazaba, a fortified palace built in the XI century for the Muslim rulers which remained unconquered throughout its existence. Inside its walls you will find an interesting Muslim archaeological exhibition hall detailing its history through the centuries.

The Alcazaba communicates with Gibralfaro Castle through a steep mountain hall, this fortification was built as a means to protect the Alcazaba in addition to housing its troops. 

Another archaeological monument that can be found near the Alcazaba , is the Roman theater , built in the first century, it is one of the oldests in Andalusia. 

Malaga's old town is worth a stroll through its beautiful streets, Cathedral of Malaga, to be found at its heart, this is the main temple of the city, although its construction began in the 16th century and it still isn’t finished yet. Its second tower is missing and that is why it is known amongst local residents as “La Manquita”. 

In the city center we suggest a walk along Marqués de Larios Street , and a visit to the Plaza de la Merced , where you will find the house of Picasso who was born and raised in this city. The Picassian Route is a great activity to discover all of his favourite and significant hang-outs and where he spent parts of his life and visit the Picasso Museum houses some of the artist's most important works. 

Finally, do not leave Malaga without trying its rich cuisine, anchovies or a sardine spit on the beach are a must and will complete your visit to this wonderful city.
