he Colorful Soul of the Costa del Sol
The birthplace of Picasso is as colorful as an artists palette, from the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea to the golden sun, which gives 300 days of sunshine per year. When the sun sets, the vibrant nightlife awakens and youll find your place among the youthful square of the old center, the trendy bars of La Malagueta or on one of the terraces of Pedregalejo.
There's also rich history underneath the sun and fun. Alcazaba is a Moorish castle from the 11th century and just next to it are the remnants of a Roman Theatre. The white stone tower of the Malaga Cathedral rises up in the heart of the city centre, and offers an interesting respite from sun bathing on the magnificent and popular beaches.
A more modern history can be appreciated by visiting the birthplace of Picasso and a museum full of exhibitions by Malaga 's most famous resident. A more relaxed Spanish city than Madrid and Barcelona, Malaga is still the gateway to the Costa del Sol and the busy Malaga Airport is only 6 miles from the center of town.

Malaga is a big city, probably the worst in all Andalusia, but after some days you can enjoy the vibe and the good food/cheap beers.
The cost nearby ( costa del sol) is the probably the ugliest in all Mediterranean. They built horrible cheap hotels everywhere and only a couple of villages are nice. (Also the sea it is not clean and beaches crowded)

Try to stay in the heart malaga, in a circle of 1km near plaza de la marina that way you can enjoy all malaga main sights walking. If you can't or don't want to walking, the best way and the cheapest one is the bus, it costs 1€20, in all bus stops you can see a map showing the path that will be borrowed by each bus.

Malaga is a good place to go!
Malaga is a good place to go! I was doubtful before I got there because many people would
say go to Nerja or Frigiliana rather than Malaga.
But I personally loved Malaga much better!
Not because I got pickpocketed in Nerja but because Malaga is a combination of old and new,
the old town and modern art including Picasso.
Plus the beach Malagueta! The spacious place is a good place to go rest with friends and family
I recommend!

Malaga is such a surprising city, great variety of things...
Malaga is such a surprising city, great variety of things to do, beautiful historical buildings, the fabulous port area, shopping areas and plenty of cafes and restaurants. Malaga has a very relaxed air about it. Don't just land at the airport and go to a resort, treat yourself to a few days in Malaga also.

Malaga is a beautiful city for those who truly love Spain.
Malaga is a beautiful city for those who truly love Spain. It has a fascinating food and drink culture, a buzzing night life, plenty of cultural delights - in particular a wide range of museums, and great shopping for lovers of both mainstream fashion and haute couture. I have spent several short breaks in Malaga, but I would certainly love to stay for a full week and just wander through its winding streets, enjoying the ambience and the authentic local cuisine offered in the many little restaurants, cafes and bars.
There's a great buzz - day and night. Sit outside any one of the eateries and have a chilled glass of rosada and a tapa, while you peruse the menu. They don't care how small your order is and don't bat an eyelid if you opt to share it with your guest or partner. And you can be pretty sure to hear someone playing guitar, or singing flamenco or opera on the next corner, making it one of those perfect moments you remember forever. Two perfect spots to try are La Medusa in Calle Sancta Maria and a tiny little restaurant just nearby called - Malaga.
“We found this apartments when we arrive to malaga and we are so satified to stay in there. The apartment has all facilities you need. We wish to stay more. Location is near to old town and you can walk both beach and old town. Price and room are balance. Terrace must be more beautiful.”
“The staff and service was great! We drove from valencia to malaga so the car was covered with dead bugs and every day, the staff was cleaning the windshield for free! Small detail but it definitely was appreciated (we never had this type of service in any hotel before). The room was big and clean and very comfortable. Large hotel more geared towards business clients and events.”
“we got our room upgraded for free without asking which was very nice. The hotel has a car park and is very close to the airport (15 mins by car or taxi). We did not need it but at the receiption they told us that they can organise a transfer from the hotel to the airport for 10 euros starting from 4 am (note that in malaga for late transfer the minimum asked by taxi driver is 20 euros).”
“Spacious rooms, very clean, 7th floor has great views either over the city or the port. The shower area is large, efficient, and plenty of HW. Free wifi, and unlike many other hotels, it actually works! Measured 30mB download and upload. Breakfast was varied with all combinations, again light airy, modern setting.
The hotel sits above the main Malaga train station with immediate access to the mainline routes to Seville etc., as well as the local route down the coast to ultimately Fuengirola, which incidentally are cheap and regular”
“I really liked to have a balcony to my rooftop
apartment, so when I came back from my sightseeing ventures I could sit out there and enjoy a good outlook onto the port of Malaga.
The service in the hotel was very good and helpful by whoever was at the reception desk.”
