What to see in Málaga in 2 days

Cities such as Málaga have been blessed with so many attractions that it is difficult to squeeze them into two days, but if you organise your time well, you can meander through the streets at leisure with no chance of missing the most interesting sights. Start off with a stroll through the historic quarter, the very streets that witnessed the early years of Pablo Picasso. Visit this genius’s home and museum for an insight into how his childhood in this city came to influence him.  Carefully select the museums you want to visit, as there are several so important that it would be difficult to leave them for another time. The city’s architecture (with its splendid AlcázarGibralfaro Castle and Cathedral) should also be included in your itinerary.

Apart from art and architecture, Málaga is characterised by its pleasant atmosphere, its unfailingly lively squares, its terraces, bars and superb restaurants. In many establishments, the Andalusian culinary tradition combines with modern techniques to produce once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

So, we hope you have your answer ready if you’re asked: “Shall we go to Málaga for a couple of days?”
