Málaga: Culture, tapas and seaside charm

Discover the highlights of Málaga

Málaga has transformed in recent years into one of the most exciting cities in southern Spain. The historic centre is full of beautiful squares, lively tapas bars and impressive architecture.

Some highlights you shouldn’t miss include:

• The Alcazaba: a stunning Moorish fortress overlooking the city
• Gibralfaro Castle: offering panoramic views over the harbour and coastline
• The Picasso Museum: dedicated to Málaga’s most famous artist
• Calle Larios: the elegant shopping street in the heart of the city
• Muelle Uno: the modern harbour area with restaurants, shops and sea views

After sightseeing, simply wander through the old town streets, stop for tapas, and soak up the lively Andalusian atmosphere.

A city for food lovers

Málaga is also a fantastic destination for food. From traditional tapas bars to modern restaurants, there is something for every taste.

One of the most iconic places to visit is Bar El Pimpi, a historic restaurant and wine bar known for its traditional Andalusian dishes, local wines and lively atmosphere.

A perfect city escape

Many of our guests enjoy spending a relaxed day in Málaga: exploring the historic centre in the morning, enjoying lunch or tapas, and perhaps ending the afternoon with a walk along the beach before heading back to the peaceful countryside of Cortijo Valverde.
