10 Free Things to do in Malaga That You Shouldn't Miss
Malaga is one of the oldest cities in the world, founded in the 8th century by the Phoenicians. Today, art is everywhere-- you can experience exhibits dedicated to glass and crystal, classic cars, contemporary installations, and, of course, the works of Picasso, who was born here. Wander past banana trees and beautiful fountains as you walk through Paseo del Parque, then hit the old city to quench your thirst at a Spanish tavern.

When choosing city breaks and holidays abroad travellers are increasingly seeking real life experiences to add some depth and added value to their trips. Expensive dining out is certainly not the only way to experience the cuisine of a region. From cookery courses and food markets to vineyard visits and farm tours, a combination of tasting, meeting and hearing the stories from locals connects the new age traveller to the history, customs and culinary differences of a new destination. Food markets are the heart and soul of Spanish gastronomy and they are the ideal place to get an authentic taste of the most delectable and sought after culinary products of the surrounding area. Mercado Atarazanas is the undisputed epicentre of a truly amazing array of fresh produce in central Malaga. The impressive century old wrought iron and glass building is an old school market, great for tasting a bit of Manchego cheese, a glass of local Malaga wine, a few oysters, a plate of Ibérico ham and also perfecto for sampling a wide range of traditional or contemporary Spanish tapas. Visiting a food market has long been the most authentic way to experience any destination, after all, what better way to get the pulse of a city than to see its proud vendors in full flow dealing with their regular customers. Open Monday to Saturday from 0800 to 1500 hrs. Remember that the market is not a museum. Vendors are locals earning a living for their families.
6. Malaga Aeronautical Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 109 reviews
Our Philosophy: Aircraft are not for show, they are meant to be touched. The museum is open to all, whether you are new to aviation or not. All who want to help out have their place as a Museum Friend. We want to make aviation approachable to everyone. We are one of the few museums worldwide that allow free entry to its aircraft cockpits on demand. Flying today has become so routine that we sometimes forget the magic that is rising into the air like a bird, and soaring through the sky. So we want to show you all aspects of aviation in an approachable way; so that you feel completely at home. Our aircraft are restored selflessly by our volunteers: we gladly open their doors for you, because we believe sitting at a pilot's seat is an enriching experience.

The Basilica of Santa Maria de la Victoria is a very beautiful church that is also historic. One can also see the dressing room of the Virgin Mary and this is quite impressive too. This church is one of the most important in the city of Malaga.
