Malaga — Spain 

Málaga is a vibrant port city on southern Spain's Costa del Sol, known for its rich history, lively culture, and beautiful Mediterranean setting. What attracts the most visitors to Malaga is the fact that it’s the birthplace of Pablo Picasso. Here are the top 5 attractions you can’t miss in Malaga:

Alcazaba: Alcazaba is a type of fortified structure found in Spain. It was built during the period of Muslim rule and is one of the best-preserved alcazabas in Spain. Built on a hill in the centre of the city overlooking the port, it offers a magnificent view of the city skyline and the sunset. 

Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnación de Málaga: Commonly known as Málaga Cathedral, this is a magnificent Roman Catholic Church and stands as one of the city’s most iconic landmarks as a jewel of the Spanish Renaissance. Walk around the exterior and witness a mix of different architectural styles. 

Castillo de Gibralfaro: Perched high on a hill, Castillo de Gibralfaro is an iconic landmark that immediately captures the traveller’s attention. The castle itself offers a journey back in time and the most breathtaking views you’ll ever experience. You can either walk up the steep pathway or take a bus ride that will drop you near the entrance. 

Museo Picasso Málaga: The Picasso museum in the heart of the city is the perfect attraction for all the art lovers out there. The museum houses a collection of 285 works by Pablo Picasso, donated by members of the Picasso family. The best thing about the museum is that it’s open daily. 

Centre Pompidou Málaga: Museo Picasso Málaga is a stunning world-famous museum proposed by Picasso himself in 1953. However, the project only came to fruition after his son and daughter-in-law donated a large collection of his work to the city. 

Malaga is a beautiful city that has lots to offer, and it’s difficult to cover everything for first-time visitors. A hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus is one of the most useful and amazing ways to get the most out of your visit to the city.
