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.

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.

CAC Málaga, Contemporary Art Center of Malaga, is a revolutionary initiative from the City Council unifies private and public administration for the first time in Spain. CAC Málaga, which is characterised by its dynamism, the reflection and divulging of contemporary ideas, has an international agenda and exhibits international artists. It's one of the main Contemporary Art Centres not only in Spain but also within the internacional scene
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!

There’s been a station here since 1863 and this modern replacement was completed in 2007. As well as suburban lines (including connection to the airport 9km away), you can connect via the high speed service to Madrid, Córdoba and Barcelona. The bus station is next door and it’s only a short walk to the main city area and port. Well maintained toilet facilities (70c fee) are adjacent the ticket office entrance. Station interior also supports the Viala shopping mall. Noticed airport style bag search/scanning at departure gates - good idea.
