The perfect place to explore the arts, Malaga is also home to the Carmen Thyssen Museum, the Contemporary Art Center, and the Museum of Glass and Crystal. Other popular places to visit in Malaga include its two Moorish castles. The Alcazaba was built in the 11th century and sits prominently on a hill in the middle of the city. Its counterpart, the Castillo de Gibralfaro is no less beautiful, with the unique and stunning details of Andalusian Moorish architecture. Visitors should also not miss the Centre Pompidou in Malaga and the Plaza de Toros de la Malagueta, both popular Malaga attractions.
For a break from Malaga’s heat, head to Malagueta Beach, the closest to the city’s center. Here, enjoy the ocean waves and sunbathe on the warm yellow sand. In the evening, stroll through Malaga’s port and try some of the typical Spanish dishes like delicious croquetas along with flavorful Spanish wine or sangria. Later, don’t miss a flamenco performance at one of Malaga’s bars.
