Málaga is not a city you visit fleetingly - you get carried away in it. You might start the day on the beach, with your feet in the sand and the sun on your face. But before you know it, you are face to face with Roman ruins or walking through the labyrinth of the Alcazaba, the centuries-old Moorish fortress overlooking the sea and city. The atmosphere? Bustling but relaxed. Walking down Calle Marqués de Larios, you'll see street performers next to designer stores, locals having breakfast with churros and tourists getting lost in the Picasso Museum. This is southern Spain at its most versatile.
Malaga effortlessly adapts to who you are: whether you're traveling with kids, an art lover or just want to stroll, eat and people watch. Art? Check. Architecture? Check. Ocean views? Absolutely. Must-sees include the Roman Theater, the stately cathedral, the colorful Málaga Park and, of course, the harbor, where you'll perch with a cocktail while the sun sinks behind the masts. Count on a full day, because this city deserves your time - and your appetite. From tapas in a hidden plaza to modern Andalusian dining on the boulevard, the culinary offerings are as rich as the city itself.
