Nestled in the Costa del Sol, it is an Andalusian city renowned for its sunshine and its very special charm, with its superb placets with lively nightlife and its cobbled alleys bordered by many tapas restaurants where we no longer know where to turn. We taste local cuisine without breaking the bank: many restaurants offer “Menú del Día” at a fixed price, known to be economical and generous. The “Pescaito Frito”, a local specialty of fried fish, will cost you between 7 and 15 euros. You can also get regional specialties in its central Mercado in Atarazanas, a minimum price market!
It is a city where architecture is great. Alcazaba, its immense fortress typical of 11th century Moorish architecture was designed as “a city in the city” with its palaces, gardens and interior baths. It is one of the best preserved in Spain. Perched on a hill overlooking the city, it is accessible at a lower cost compared to other similar sites in Spain. We climb there to enjoy grandiose panoramas on the sea, the city and the ruins of the Roman theater at its feet. For only 20 euros, you can combine the guided tour of Alcazaba and this Roman theater built in the 1st century under the Empire of Augustus.
Did you guessed where we are taking you? In Málaga, also nicknamed “La Manquita” in reference to its magnificent cathedral. The illustrious Picasso was born there and a museum is dedicated to him, offering an impressive collection of his works. If the museum visit costs 13 euros, those who prefer to be satisfied with the visit of the birthplace of Picasso will only pay 4 euros. As surprising as it is, the Center Pompidou was established for the first time outside France in Málaga. So do not miss the visit of the Center Pompidou Málaga, whose cubic shape in very colorful glass is already an attraction in itself!
On the beach side, La Malagueta is undoubtedly the most famous beach and closest to the city center. Bordered by magnificent giant palm trees, it covers no less than 1,200 meters and offers the rental of equipment and children’s play areas. It is accessed by a lively walk of many restaurants and bars. You can bask on deckchairs at any season of the year (even in winter, because it is 20 degrees).
This Andalusian city promises you an accessible getaway and rich in discoveries. Málaga has the advantage of offering easy access to the international airport, thanks to its Line 1 Express which connects the city center to the airport in a quarter of an hour!
