Malaga

Welcome to Malaga

Malaga, a city located in the western part of southern Spain, combines modernity and historical heritage. Its pedestrian streets invite you to stroll, while its tapas bars offer moments of relaxation. The city's beaches, museums, and monuments are perfect for a stroll.

Things to see in Malaga:

  • The Cathedral : Construction of the cathedral began in the 16th century. A highly ambitious project, its work continued for over 200 years without ever being completed. One of the two bell towers remained unfinished, earning it the nickname "La Manquita" (The One-Armed One).
  • The Alcazaba : The entrance is located right next to the ruins of the Roman amphitheater. The Alcazaba is a fortress palace dating back to the 11th century. Brick and stone surrounds a green oasis.
  • Castillo de Gibralfaro : This 14th-century building, perched with its ramparts on the heights of the city, bears witness to its Muslim past. It is located just above the Alcazaba. You will have a magnificent view of the city and the Port. If you do not want to access it on foot, it is possible to reach it by car, but the most practical is to take the bus (normally the number 35 from Avenida de Cervantes). However, you can walk back down via the path.
  • Picasso Museum : This is a museum dedicated to the artist Pablo Picasso, born in the city of Malaga in 1881. Some of the works come from donations from his heirs. It is managed by the Picasso Foundation.
  • Palacio Episcopal : Located in Plaza del Obispo near the cathedral, it is worth a visit for its magnificent colorful facade. It sometimes hosts exhibitions of sculptures and paintings.
  • Carmen Thyssen Museum : It is a very recent museum, opened in 2011, and which mainly exhibits Spanish and Andalusian works from the 19th century.
  • Picasso's Birthplace : This is the house where the artist was born in 1881. A replica of Picasso's studio and some personal items.
  • Centro de Arte Contemporaneo : The museum is located in a building in the old Malaga Market Hall. It features works by contemporary artists from the 1950s to the present day.
