The 10 Best Things to do in Centro, Andalucia
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.

3. Malaga Cathedral

A visit to Málaga Cathedral should be on everyone’s list of things to do and see in Málaga! The cost of entry varies according to age and the option you choose but all include headphones with a multilingual guide handset. It is simple to operate and you can follow the planned numbered route around the Cathedral (including the main steps outside) at your own pace. I would suggest you allow at least 90 minutes to wander around and sit to take in the sheer scale of the building and to appreciate the artwork and architecture. A little known option is that there are a couple of tours a day that take you up onto the roof of the cathedral ( you will need to check at the reception desk for the times and plan accordingly .. you then buy a ticket which includes the roof tour). For me this was the highlight of our visit. There are approx 200 stone steps to climb so flat, comfortable shoes are a must but the spectacle 360 degree views over the city of Malaga were well worth it.

Built between 1057 and 1063, this is probably the most important military fortification remaining from the Hispanic-Arabic period.

This Moorish castle in the centre of Malaga is a must see for any visitor - not only offering unparalleled views over the port, cathedral, park and city but stretching over to the mountains behind. Breathtaking rooms and decoration, the usual fantastic Mozarabic flowing water features complement the week preserved and restored structures - what an elegant and massive fortress. There’s a nice little bar half way up the route and best of all it costs little more than £2 less for concessions.

We got up here using the hop on hop off red bus tour, you can walk up but that didn’t look like much fun. It cost a couple of euros each to get in. All the signs / info is in Spanish so I can’t tell you much about it’s history, there is a small museum in the middle with a variety of exhibits & some fantastic model soldiers to see. We went for the views & were not disappointed. Worth the entrance price for that. Had a beer whilst looking out over the harbour, all very nice. Watch your feet though, some of steps are at really odd heights & some of the cobbles could be “trippers”. Spent a very pleasant hour up here.

Free to enter and slightly off the main tourist trail, the art gallery looks less than impressive from the outside but is quite striking form within with a very large gallery space displaying special exhibitions and a more limited range of other works. The special exhibition in march 2020 was Carlos Leon’s Tomando Distancia - Keeping One’s Distance – quite appropriate for the outbreak of COVID-19!

Look no further, this is the museum to visit. Housed in a beautiful former coaching inn, its full of character and atmosphere, with a sense of discovery as you explore the exhibits relating to local customs and rural history Very reasonable entrance fee, and a lovely cool courtyard to relax in. Coffee shops just outside in the square.

This bodega must be the jewel in the crown of bodegas in Málaga. It really is a trip back in time. We didn't have tapas but we asked for suggestions on Dulche and were given several different styles. We settled on a Pajarete . . . and took a bottle away ????
