Things to do in  Malaga

A port city in the region of Andalusia, Malaga is known for its charming Old Town, golden beaches, and historic sites including two Moorish citadels. The city is also famous as the birthplace of painter Pablo Picasso—visit the Picasso Museum to learn about his life and work.

Two days here should allow visitors time to cover the city’s basics. In addition to checking out the Picasso Museum and Alcazaba Moorish palace, visitors could spend an additional day or two relaxing on the beach or hopping among tapas bars before exploring more of the Costa del Sol.

Don’t miss the Picasso Museum (the city is Picasso’s birthplace), Alcazaba (a medieval Moorish palace), or the striking Cathedral (check out the rooftop views). For tapas culture, wander Atarazanas Market. Don’t leave without seeing the golden sands at La Malagueta Beach.

Malaga is the gateway to the scenic Costa del Sol. This stretch of coastline in the south of Spain is home to popular seaside resort towns including Marbella, Torremolinos, and Fuengirola. There are also plenty of outdoor adventurous things to do in Malaga such as kayaking, boating, and fishing along the coast.

No. Tapas are not free everywhere. While the tradition of free tapas with a drink purchase may be found in Malaga, it is not commonplace in all bars. The cost is usually modest, which encourages the practice of hopping among bars for several rounds of snacks and drinks.
