The Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle: Guardians of Málaga's History
Discover Málaga
A Mediterranean city where historic fortresses, art, beaches and urban life are all just a few steps apart. Discover some of the places that best capture Málaga's history, culture and seafaring character.
Alcazaba, Gibralfaro and the Roman Theatre
Explore Málaga's Alcazaba, the Andalusian fortress at the foot of Mount Gibralfaro, and climb up to Gibralfaro Castle for views over the city and the Mediterranean. Beside the Alcazaba, the Roman Theatre completes a setting where different chapters of Málaga's history coexist in the heart of the city.
La Malagueta, Muelle Uno and the Mediterranean
Head to La Malagueta beach, one of the city's best-known coastal spots, and continue towards the port. Muelle Uno, La Farola and the Palmeral de las Sorpresas form a pleasant waterfront promenade lined with terraces and cultural spaces, with some of the most recognisable views of maritime Málaga.
Picasso, Atarazanas and the flavours of Málaga
Discover Pablo Picasso's connection with Málaga as you stroll through Plaza de la Merced and the historic centre. Atarazanas Central Market offers a taste of local produce, while seafaring neighbourhoods such as Pedregalejo keep the tradition of espetos alive, along with a cuisine closely tied to the Mediterranean.
