Malaga City Overview

You’ll find something for everyone here in Malaga, which is located on the Costa del Sol.  Whether you’re an adventure seeker, a casual beach visitor, or a nature lover, you’ll find an activity that suits you.  

You can enjoy the outdoors by taking nature tours, walking tours or hiking tours.  These types of tours are great ways to see Malaga close up.  You can also choose a theme for your tour, whether it’s history or nature.  You can walk through ancient artifacts or carefully manicured landscaping.  You can go on a tour of museums or a tour of gardens.  You can find a gentle, meandering walk through beautiful scenery, or a rugged hike through rough terrain.

Taking a walk through Malaga is like a taking a walk back in time.  Through the history of the rule of the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Romans and the Arabs, you can see that the  museums and the churches communicate the importance of these contributions in this country.  A popular tourist attraction in this area is the birthplace of Picasso, the famous Spanish painter.  It’s located in the Plaza de la Merced.  In 1998 the home was re-opened by the Picasso Foundation under the direction of the King and Queen of Spain.  It’s now open to the public as a museum, and it pays tribute to Picasso’s life and talent.

Another thing you’re sure to find here is a festival or street fair.  Spain, as a deeply religious country, honors most religious holidays by holding a special event in its name.  Therefore, you’ll find small villages and larger towns all over Spain observing important religious events.

If you’re a shopper, you can enjoy the thrill of finding a one-of-a-kind item at a street market or local shop.  If you’re shopping for souvenirs, hit the streets to find unique items handcrafted by local artisans. 

After hours, it’s time for fun.  Enjoy the ambiance at one of Malaga’s many nightclubs, or head up the coast to Benidorm, the most popular tourist attraction on the coast.  You can find places to sit back and relax with a drink, and lively places in which you can dance the night away.
