Con
too crowded in summer... and driving!!!
In a nutshell
Colour, sun, happiness, good weather and traditions together
41 Reviews The meaning of the name in Arabic is citadel. It was built in 11th century by Moors, from what was a large Roman fort beforehand. The castle gradually climbs the hill for about 300 feet, and connects to Gibralfaro Fort above it. There is an archaeological museum inside and there is an outer and...
28 Reviews The name has a meaning of "rock of light" that signified a previous lighthouse built by Phoenicians of this spot. The fortress that was built in 1300's to further protect the gentry of the Granada kingdom, who could get up higher from the Alcazaba castle in case of attack. It is almost 400 feet to...
30 Reviews The formal name is the Cathedral of Incarnation, and was consecrated in 1588, but construction took place over 250 years, all the way until 1782. It never got totally finished because only one tower got built per the original plans. The plan is Renaissance style with interior having a nave and two...
18 Reviews This bull ring no longer has those events, after the criticisms of animal activists forced the tradition to cease. After over 1,000 years, Spain has caved in to the complaints of animal cruelty. This 14,000 seat bull ring was built in 1874, and has seen a lot of blood since. I was here one evening...
15 Reviews The amphiteater was discovered/uncovered in 1951 during some construction in the area. It is from Caesar Augustus era in 1st century AD and was used until the 3rd century. Dimensions are about 90 feet long and 50 feet to the highest level of seating. The stage/arena is 45 feet circular. Some of the...
6 Reviews Each summer Málaga has "Cine Abierto" - this is where they show films on various beaches around the city. So if you fancy watching a film, but don't want to sit inside on a warm summer's evening check out the website to find what's on and where you can watch it. Cine Albéniz in the centre of town...
7 Reviews For those of you which wee unaware, Pablo Picasso the famous artist was born right here in Malaga. Therefore all around the the town there are sights related to Picasso such as the house he was born in Plaza de la Merced. El Museo Casa Natal, as it is called in Spanish, was opened in 1988, but in...
16 Reviews I have to admit I'm not a huge Picasso fan, I like the odd piece (and some pieces are very odd!) but I really enjoyed visiting the museum dedicated to him. The museum is in a wonderful old Palacio which is just beautiful. There are several galleries displaying a variety of Picasso's works, but the...
6 Reviews A Fine example of decoration at its best. The style is Neo Baroque; popular during the period of construction from 1912-19. It was the brain child of Mayor Manual Raggio, and even today it stands out as a truly magnificent structure. Unable to go inside-it was Monday, it is said to have a Lounge of...
4 Reviews They are located by the town hall and wind up to Alcazaba castle. The gardens at the bottom has ponds, and waterfowl, in addition to a rose garden theme. It is a continuation of the Parque de Malaga, a long pedestrian boulevard going along the water edge that has many palm trees, and flora, which is...
4 Reviews and 385 Opinions I booked the Hotel Molina Lario online with Hotel Bookers. I was staying 1 night on route from...
5 Reviews and 411 Opinions The AC M'LAGA PALACIO was very convenient to down town, clean and reasonable.
7 Reviews CLOSE. LAST TIME I PAST THROUGH LA POSADA WAS CLOSE. LA POSADA DE ANTONIO WAS AT THE CENTER OF MALAGA IS NOT THE ONE OF ANTONIO BANDERAS. Big local with nice things for tapa. Very nice to have take a table and have a break while you have a good wine and a tapa chistorras pinchos morunos tortilla
5 Reviews The interior of this little gem is just like a French bistro. Wooden tables, rough brick walls and low lighting. The waitresses average an age of 20yrs and are the funkiest little workers Ive ever seen. Cropped hair, piercings, vest tops...oh my God you might say, but believe me the average age of...
5 Reviews I love this place - huge vaulted celings, flagstone floors and walls lined with enormous barrels signed by many literary greats. It's always buzzy here and sometimes has live music too. Food is limited, a few tapas dishes and a mixture of mini filled toasted rolls.
10 Reviews Really great place to go out, full of english people with great atmosphere and cheap drinks, good music and friendly staff. You can mostly find me in there because its such a great place at night time the pooltable becomes the stagefloor where you can dance all nite till 5AM in summer Really easy...
5 Reviews This is one of those bars you need to visit. It is always very busy with locals and at night there is music and sometimes flamenco. It's a maze of courtyards and different rooms lined with barrels and old posters. It used to be a convent. It's a nice place for tasting one of the many typical wines...
5 Reviews Plaza de la Merced is the meeting point for most of people to start to enjoy an evening on Málaga town center. Many bars, restaurants and cafeterias round there. La plaza de la Merced es el punto de encuentro para la mayoría de los jovenes para empezar a disfrutar de la noche en el centro de...
6 Reviews Take the bus to Mijas. It`s a beautiful little place and a great place for a gentle stroll and relaxing with a wee beer. If you find some good shopping, that`s a bonus too! Take a minute to visit the San Sebastion church, climb to the Plaza de Toros and get great views of the Costa, and relax.
6 Reviews Please see my Antequera page where I am adding most of the inland sights and things to do. Antequera is a large governing town situated at the heart of the Malaga province and is an ideal base for getting to see more of what the 'Malaguenos' have to offer.
15 Reviews A lot of Malaga is ugly blocks of urban sprawl flats, but in the old centre you can find a beautiful heart. Full of narrow sometimes cobbled pedestrian streets winding in and out of each other. You can see that, like a lot of Andalucia, a lot of money is being put in to 'doing up' the centre of the...
12 Reviews My favorite thing was the horse and carriage ride in the center of Malaga. Picking a favorite thing was tough- Malaga is so interesting- beautiful cathedral, gorgeous sea views - travel on the coast- skip the auto pista- a modern highway but NOT scenic. We visited the Picasso Museum- a must see! We...

There's more to Malaga than the airport
Malaga City often gets over-looked in favour of the more vibrant Seville or laid-back Granada and at first glance, it's easy to see why. The amazing Alhambra in Granada rightly pulls in the crowds and...
