Essentials in Malaga

Malaga is a beautiful port city on the southern coast of Spain. The list of sights to see goes on and on. A visit to Malaga will be one to remember fondly with different pleasures to seek both day and night.

Alcazaba: This huge fortress overlooking the city was built by Malaga's Muslim rulers in 1057. Loose yourself among the Roman artefacts inside, among the jasmine and roses... if you want to avoid the crowds, make sure you come first thing in the morning.

Picasso Museum: There are more than 200 of Picasso's works are on display here, including engravings, sculptures and ceramics. Don't miss his birth-house nearby.

Castillo de Gibralfaro: Older than the Alcazaba, this 8th century castle is worth the trek uphill. While not much remains of the interior, you can still walk along the walls and enjoy the impressive views of the city and sea from the top.

Arab baths: Make sure you reserve a day to unwind at the Baños Árabes. Sit back in the steam room, book a massage, enjoy an aromatherapy session and relax. It's essential to make reservations ahead of time.

Beaches: There are plenty of beaches in and near Malaga, some of the better ones are further out of town. Playa de la Malagueta is in the city centre while Playa del Palo and Playa de Pedregalejo are further away. You'll find the best restaurants in the city along the beach front.
