What to do and see in Malaga, Andalucia: The Best Monuments & Statues

September 3, 2021 Augustus Redeker

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.

Estatua de Hans Christian Andersen

Reviewed By thomasmV1958LM - Littleton, United States

Not sure how we heard of this statue, but we certainly wanted to find it and see it. We had seen the one outside of Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, and so it seemed like a thing to do in Malaga. Even though we knew the “general” location (the busy intersection of Calle Molina Lario and the Plaza de la Marina) it wasn’t that easy to find. It is about 100 - 200 feet in from the intersection and trees & kiosks sort of block the view unless you really look. It’s a wonderful statue and certainly a photo op.... It is as nice as the other in Copenhagen. Half the fun was trying to find it.

Estatua de Pablo Ruiz Picasso

Reviewed By Ly2ns - Crewe, United Kingdom

In the corner of the Plaza de la Merced - the square, nearest to the house that Pablo Picasso was born in, sits a statue of the man himself, albeit an older version, than the age he was when he left Malaga. He sits on a marble bench, paint palette in hand, with a generous space to his left... I deal for a photo with the great man, or a selfie, or a group shot. At busy times, you might just need a little patience, to get your opportunity, as Pablo is on most of the tour companies itinerary.
