Discover Málaga
Málaga, a port city on Spain’s Costa del Sol, combines beaches with cultural treasures. The Alcazaba fortress and Gibralfaro Castle reflect its Moorish history, and the Picasso Museum celebrates Málaga’s famous artist. Beaches like La Malagueta are perfect for sun-seekers, and the historic center buzzes with tapas bars and lively markets. Málaga’s blend of history, art, and seaside atmosphere makes it a warm, inviting city on the Mediterranean coast.
