Málaga

The southernmost town in the Costa del Sol that is the hometown of the famous Pablo Picasso
get more info here
Located in the Costa del Sol is one of Europe's most popular vacation destinations.  Málaga is a vibrant, modern city with many friendly locals.  This beach town doesn't get a lot of rainfall and is mostly sunny throughout the year, which is perfect for just strolling around.  There are tapas bars and cafés on every street as well as clothing stores.  It is home to Pablo Picasso where a museum is dedicated to him here.  Even with the huge waves of tourists flocking to Málaga, it still remains authentically Andalusian. 

Accommodations 

  • Our trip in Málaga was combined with London because of the airport located in Málaga.  We went with our program for the day then flew to London and arrived Friday night.  Our flight back to Málaga was Sunday so instead of going back to Sevilla we decided to stay the night
  • We stayed at The Melting Pot Beach Hostel

Restaurants

  • We went to this great tapas bar that had daily specials.  My friend and I had amazing grilled veggies 
  • There are many other tapas bars like this that are right next to the beach 

Wider Scope

  • Definitely visit the Picasso Museum!  It is different and very interesting
  • Go to the grounds of the Alcazaba, which is a fort from the 9th century
  • Tour the cathedral La Manquita
  • For the artsy people, view the art on display at the Museum of Popular Arts & Customs and the Contemporary Art Center
  • There are many cute stores in the center city too

Bars/Clubs

  • We didn't go to any clubs/bars while in Málaga but go bar hopping the city center
