Why Visit Malaga, Spain

In case the sun-kissed region of Andalusia is on your travel radar, no southern Spain itinerary would be complete without a trip to Malaga. Set on the Mediterranean coast, the lovely resort town is a perfect location for those wishing to combine a relaxed beach holiday on Costa del Sol with discovering Andalusia's stunning legacy. Malaga will surely please the lovers of the bright sun, the emerald blues of the sea, and golden beaches, all adorned by dense subtropical greenery. What more is needed to forget about the fuss of the everyday life and just chill in one of the seaside tapas bars with a glass of sangria?

Once you had enough of the Andalusian sun, it is high time to set off on a saturated Malaga tour to explore the traces of the ancestors. Standing among the most ancient cities in Europe, Malaga has kept its original name, given by the Phoenicians in the 8th century B.C., and has seen quite an impressive number of prominent events in the history of Spain. As such, the city's ensemble represents a colorful cocktail of various styles where the typical Moorish features coexist with neo-Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassicism not just on the same street, but within the same palace or temple.

Speaking about significant Malaga attractions worth seeing, you definitely can't miss the majestic hilltop citadel, the Alcazaba, and the most outstanding gem of the Renaissance in Andalusia, the Malaga Cathedral, often called La Manquita (The One-Armed Lady) because it has only one tower. Moreover, spice up your Malaga itinerary with the Roman Theatre, have a walk around the Square of the Constitution, as well as admire the colorful exterior of the Bishops Palace.

If you are a fan of Picasso's masterpieces, you'll be glad to find out that Malaga is the birthplace of this amazing Spanish artist and houses Museo Picasso where you'll be able to see a great number of his artwork.

We bet now all your doubts regarding putting Malaga to your Spain travel itinerary are resolved, aren't they?
