If you think the Costa del Sol is soulless, you clearly haven’t been to Málaga. Loaded with history and brimming with a youthful vigour that proudly acknowledges its multi-layered past, the city that gave the world Picasso has transformed itself in spectacular fashion, with half a dozen new art galleries, a radically rethought port area and a nascent art district called Soho. Not that Málaga was ever lacking in energy: the Spanish-to-the-core bar scene could put bags under the eyes of an insomniac madrileño, while the food culture encompasses both Michelin stars and tastefully tatty fish shacks.

Birthplace of Picasso, the vibrant cosmopolitan city of Málaga is situated on the beautiful Andalucía coastline. Blessed with sunshine and fantastic quality of life, Málaga provides lively nightlife, museums and exceptional seafood restaurants alongside wide boulevards, swaying palm trees and beautiful beaches.

Málaga became a popular winter resort for the wealthy during the 19th century and was famed for is elegance and sophistication. The beautiful park on Calle Alameda dates back to this era and is one of the most celebrated botanical collections in Europe. Open air concerts are held here every Sunday during winter, making a refreshing change from the beach scenario on the coast.

Pablo Picasso is the City’s most famous son (not counting Antonio Banderas of course!) and there are several galleries showcasing his work, including the 16th century Museum of Fine Arts next to the Cathedral.

Museo Picasso Málaga is a moving experience of Picasso’s lifetime of works and has become one of Málaga’s prime attractions. The museum is located in an old palace converted into an amazing art experience. Very natural and authentic, the loved and precision of the craftsmen is evident in the doors and the roof paying tribute to their fellow country man and eminent artist. The permanent collection is composed of donations from his grandson and wife. Even in Picasso’s early paintings is demonstrated a quality of brush stroke and amazing maturity of composition at age 16. There was never a painter like him before and nothing like him after. Seeing the works concentrated here gives an even greater respect for one of the greatest men of the 20th Century.

Museo Carmen Thyssen , and Art Gallery composed from the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, was inaugurated on the 24th of March 2011. This art gallery comprises of 2677 works from the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza collection and makes a complete run through the different genres of Spanish Painters of the 19th century, a painting era defined chronologically between Francisco de Goya and Pablo Picasso, giving particular emphasis on Andalusian art.

Teatro Cervantes is Málaga’s main theatre where Antonio Banderas once trod the boards and he still visits.

Málaga is famous for its “pescaito frito”, an assortment of small fried fish including sardines and anchovies, best followed by a glass of ice cold vino at one of the many old fashioned bodegas in town. But if you want that absolute “catch of the day” freshness El Palo , a typical fisherman’s village just to the east, is the place to go.

At Málaga’s oldest tapas bar “ Antigua Casa de la Guardia ”, try a tapas and glass of Málaga wine. Find no. 16 on the north side of Alameda Principal.

Málaga closes for the siesta period, so this is a perfect time for a long relaxing lunch.

Málaga boasts one of the highest concentrations of world class golf courses and is often nicknamed “The Costa del Golf”. Aside from the beaches, for families there are theme parks, water parks, safari parks, go-karting and many beautiful public gardens. Young visitors can enjoy Benalmadena’s Puerto Marina & ‘24 hour square’ and Marbella’s Puerto Banus , both very trendy and chic but be warned the bars and clubs don’t fill up until near midnight and stay open till dawn.

Garden lovers won’t be disappointed either with the beautiful Alameda Gardens and just outside the city on the way to Antequera one can discover the extensive botanical collection of Jardines de la Concepcion .

Since 2007, Málaga has entered an economic crisis driven by the global economic crisis. Nevertheless, the city is committed to improve the touristic quality that the city offers its visitors and encourage the growth that businesses with new technologies in “ el parque tecnol ó gico de Málaga ” are experiencing, giving Málaga good growth prospects.

As Málaga is one of the Spanish Capitals with the best climate and terrain for everyday bicycle use, Málaga’s city council is creating the cycle-lane infrastructure necessary to promote the bicycle as a form of transport within the city. Click here to see the map of the currently established cycle routes. Don’t forget, if you need anything related to cycling from MTB to road cycling visit this online bike shop which is located in Málaga.

Málaga airport is one of the major airports in Spain due to the number of tourist arrivals on charter flights from Northern Europe using Málaga airport as a gateway to the Costa del Sol. If you are flying into Málaga airport you can pre-book a private Málaga airport transfer taxi or minibus to destinations throughout the province of Málaga: Marbella , Puerto Banus and Nerja.

In recent years, Malaga has promoted the improvement and expansion of hotels in the city and has already managed to place Malaga amongst the Spanish cities with the best hotels on offer, including the recent opening of a 5 star hotel. The best hotels in Malaga can be found in the city centre and adjacent neighbourhoods.

City Centre and old town in Malaga

Picturesquely situated in a bay surrounded by mountains and bounded by the rivers Guadalmedina and Guadalhorce, Malaga city with its two thousand-eight hundred years of history is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Walking by the old town is a experience you should not miss.

The city experienced the greatest civilizations of the Mediterranean, from the Phoenicians and the Greeks to the Romans, thanks to the strategic location of the port, an important site along the trade routes since ancient times.

This introduction is to say that Malaga is not only the capital of the Costa del Sol, a destination known throughout the world since the beginning of the tourist boom in this area, where the climate, the sea, beaches and golf courses represent an irresistible attraction for national and international tourists. If you plan to spend your holidays in Malaga or surroundings, dedicate at least one day to visit the city.

Guide and map is recommended for visiting the city

The centre of Malaga is a place where you can spend hours and return to visit without ever getting bored; there’s so much to see that it’s impossible to even enumerate. Malaga is rich in culture, modernity and historical monuments. It is recommended the use of a tourist guide or a monuments/street map for getting the most from your visit, check our resources page for maps and guides .

It’s a cosmopolitan city, capital of the Costa del Sol and with a history that dates back to the Phoenician times when it was founded , and later on passed onto the Romans and Arabs, who left us part of their culture and constructions. Malaga was finally conquered by the Catholic Kings in 1487, leaving us an incomplete cathedral due to the lack of funds back then, known as ‘La Manquita’.

Of its even further past we must mention several monuments to visit, highlighting the Alcazaba Arabic Castle and the Gibralfaro castle with beautiful gardens located by the coast.

Apart from the above mentioned, Malaga is the city of Pablo Picasso’s birthplace, and the square where he used to play as a child still exists today, as well as his house which is now a museum that we can visit during our stay in Malaga.

Malaga has the second biggest port in Spain, recently modernised and is now also a great place to spend a day’s shopping.

If we visit Malaga we cannot go without visiting the surrounding villages, like Torremolinos for example, a well-known and popular touristic town that had its boom in the 1960’s and where an endless number of movies were filmed. Visiting its villages we’ll discover more of Malaga, as well as enjoying a wide variety of services and attractions for the tourist: golf lessons, theatre, flamenco, restaurants, tapas bars, etc..

The infrastructure makes Malaga an ideal city to make it our starting point from where to start exploring Andalusia, with great access by road to Granada, Seville and Cordoba, that will make life easier if we decide to hire a car in Malaga, or if we travel in our own vehicle.

Malaga airport , also known as the Costa del Sol airport, is international and receives flights from USA, Asia and from almost all the European capitals.

Things to do in the old town

If you like football, you can watch a match between the Malaga F.C and another football team at the Rosaleda Stadium . The official website where you can see the league table and the latest news related to Malaga is malagacf.com (In english)

The Malaga Fair is another of the big events of the year in Malaga. It’s on for about a week as from the 15th of August and is divided into two areas: the centre of Malaga during the day, and the fairground on the outskirts of the city in the evenings till early hours of the morning, where you’ll find the rides and many stands of all kinds.

In the fairground we’ll find the traditional fair huts with a wide variety of music and in some of them we’ll be able to enjoy live flamenco shows and some delicious tapas.

In Malaga there are so many things to do that it’s almost impossible to list them all, for those who enjoy history, nature, art or sport, or simply for those who enjoy a good meal. The following list here below is a brief enumeration of a few recommendations of what to do in Malaga :

• A visit to the Gibralfaro Castle and to the Roman Theatre next door.
• The Alcazaba is also well worth a visit.
• The Cathedral of Malaga offers a beautiful architecture that we must see for ourselves.
• Malaga port and its shopping centre in the ‘Muelle 1’.
• Plaza de la Merced, the Picasso foundation and museum.
• Picasso Foundation
• Picasso Museum
• The CAC Malaga (the modern art museum).

Malaga history

Malaka, as it was known in the olden days, was occupied from remote times, proved by the remains found in Antequera, the paintings discovered in the Treasure Cave in Rincon de la Victoria, or the ceramics found in Nerja. The Phoenicians were the founders of a commercial route from the century VIII b.C. using the natural port on the foothill of Gibralfaro as a port and taking advantage of the numerous silver and copper deposits. We are developing the history of Malaga , keep checking out our blog for the latest updates.

Parking can be problematic in Malaga city centre . Spaces are scarce and it isn't very clear which areas are permitted for parking and at what times. If you are going to park downtown be wary of parking lot attendants asking for tips - most are not official and won't actually watch over your car. Your best bet is to ignore them, pretending you don't understand.

Ancient Ronda is a colourful tapestry woven from a skein of tangled threads which make it one of the most interesting cities in all Andalusia. The landscape, the layout of the town, its history, the romantic legend of its bandits with their evocative names, the cradle of bullfighters and artists whose names have gone down in history: all this makes Ronda a unique city.

The list of outstanding men of letters who have fallen captive to the charms of this city can be traced from the earliest texts down to the present day. Pliny, al-Motámid the poet-king of Seville, al-Idrisi, Ibn al-Jatib, Vicente Espinel, Rilke, Juan Ramón Jiménez and Juan Goytisolo are just a few of the long line of authors who have written eloquent pages about Ronda ; a place where –if the locals are to believed– it rains upwards, and where birds fly beneath your feet as you lean out over the Tajo gorge.

The city inveigles you to take a leisurely stroll through its streets, absorbing every detail of this ancient Arab “medina” on the south bank of the Guadalevín river, whose walls are still partially standing. You can cross the Puente Nuevo (“new bridge”) and wander around the Alameda del Tajo, stopping at every odd corner and historic monument, and then restore your strength in one of the restaurants offering an abundant selection of dishes from the local cuisine.

The town itself is divided into three clearly distinct areas: the city, or old Arab Medina, which is the most important from the historical point of view; the neighbourhood of San Francisco, separated by city Walls , and the Mercadillo neighbourhood, which is on the other side of the Guadalevín river.

Some historians believe its origins date from the Bastuli Celts, who named the place Arunda . The Romans settled in Arunda and in Acinipo (also known as Ronda La Vieja, or “Old Ronda”). Pliny and Ptolemy mention Acinipo as one of the main cities in the Roman province of Baetica. Its most noteworthy ruins include the theatre, among the most important in Roman Spain. In Arunda the Romans built the castle of Laurus (or Laurel) mentioned by Pliny in his Natural History as Arunda Laurus, on which the Muslim fortress was subsequently built.

After the dark Visigoth period, Ronda regained its importance under the Muslim domination, when Arunda became known as Izna Rand Onda . From the 8th to the 15th century it was one of the most important fortresses in Andalusia. During the emirates of Al Mondhir and Abdallah ben Mohamed (886-912) the Ronda mountains became the scene of a major rebellion by the Muladi –old Christians converted to Islam– led by Omar Ben Hafsún, the descendent of a rich Visigoth family. Omar established a stronghold in Bobastro – the site of which has still not been ascertained beyond doubt, but which is thought to be in or near the Ronda mountains– and from here he gained control of a large stretch of eastern Andalusia, with major towns such as Archidona, Ecija, Baena and Lucena under his command. His dominions and prestige among Muladi Muslims rose continually until his defeat at Poley (Aguilar) in 891, after which Omar sought an alliance with the Arabs in the north of Africa and the Christians in the north of the Spanish peninsula. He ultimately converted to Christianity (a doctrine which made such a strong impression on one of his daughters that she is today included in the calendar of Catholic saints with the name of Santa Argentea), which lost him the trust of many of his Muladi followers, although at his death in 916, the stronghold at Bobastro was still standing. On the fall of Bobastro (928), after the defeat of Omar’s sons by the first Caliph Abd-Al Rahman III, the town became part of the Caliphate of Cordoba. After the disappearance of the Caliphate of Cordoba came the taifa , or Muslim kingdom, ruled by the Berber family of Banu Ifrán (the sons of Ifrán); at the end of the 11th century it was annexed to the kingdom of Seville by Ibn al-Abbad, after the ruthless execution of the taifa ’s rulers in Ronda.

In the 13th century, Abenamar – the famous leader and founder of the Nasrid dynasty– surrendered it to the Marinids from Morocco, and it was ruled by the government in north Africa until 1439, when it became part of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada.

The Arab presence can still clearly be seen in the appearance and layout of the city of Ronda, which is arguably the best conserved in all Andalusia.

After a long struggle the city was finally recaptured by the Catholic Monarchs in 1485. As a consequence of the fierce resistance by the Muslims, who never surrendered but were vanquished by the Christian troops, the city was divided up among the Castilian nobility.

The 1449 decree which ordained the forcible conversion of Spanish Muslims sparked a series of uprisings in the mountain area around the town, and Ronda became the centre of operations from which attempts were made to suppress the revolt. In 1571, the Muslims were finally expelled, although for years there remained centres of resistance within the cover of the steep and rocky mountains.

In the 18th century, Ronda underwent a substantial economic boom. The city, formerly divided by the Tajo gorge, was joined in 1751 when the famous Puente Nuevo bridge was built.

During the French invasion there was an active resistance movement in the mountain region around Ronda. On their retreat, the French destroyed part of the castle and other fortifications in the city.
