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.

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.

I have never been one for Bullfighting and find it quite grotesque. But the History and pomp of this so called sport is very interesting. The Museum is well laid out, and access to the top tier of the actual ring is included in your price of only 1.5 euros. There is a great little cafe in the nearby square that does a lovely lunch menu. This area is well worth a visit.
