What to see in Málaga in 1 day
Every visitor to Málaga finds their own space, and that is one of the great privileges offered by the capital of the Costa del Sol. The city offers a cultural bonanza for lovers of museums—including such renowned centres as the Picasso Museum, the Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga, the Russian Museum, and the Málaga Centre for Contemporary Art. Visitors with a passion for history can enjoy the magnificent Alcazaba, the Gibralfaro Castle and dozens of other monuments. Those who seek more natural attractions will prefer the beaches, the parks and the botanical gardens. And those tourists who enjoy what might be termed “living it up”—shopping and dining out—will find that they are spoilt for choice.
We recommend that you take advantage of your three-day break to immerse yourself in the culture and the unique character of Málaga. Relax, and take a leisurely stroll through the city’s streets—the very streets where the young Pablo Picasso ran and played, and which inspired a good deal of his work.
