History at Every Step: The City Centre

  • AlcazabaThis magnificent Moorish fortress, with its maze-like gardens and panoramic views over the city, offers a fascinating glimpse into Spanish history.
  • Roman Theatre (Teatro Romano)At the foot of the Alcazaba and one of the oldest monuments in the city, a great photo spot where past and present meet.
  • Málaga Cathedral (La Manquita)Nicknamed “the one-armed lady” by locals because it was never completed, the cathedral is one of the most striking examples of Renaissance architecture.
  • Picasso MuseumIn the city where Pablo Picasso was born, the museum holds hundreds of his works: a stop not to miss for anyone interested in art and design.
