The Very Best of Cultural Malaga
Malaga is one of the largest & busiest towns on the Costa de Sol, with thousands of holidaymakers flying in and out every day.
The average year round temperature in Malaga is a satisfying 22C and with over 340 days of sun each year, it's no wonder it's such a popular destination! If you are staying on the Costa del Sol, or flying into or out of Malaga, it's worth taking time to have a look around the town and see what's on offer, even though Malaga Airport is used by millions every year, surprisingly few people stop to take in some of the cultural wonders of the city.
Plaza de la Merceda is home to the former lodging and birthplace of Picasso.
You can tour the house and learn more about one of the world's most famous artists.
The Cathedral (built on the site of a former Mosque!) is definitely worth a visit, as is the Moorish Fortress of Alcazaba, which is over 1300 years old.
If it's a stunning view you're looking for, head up to Gibrafaro Castle.
This 14th Century castle has been defending the city since the 1400's and is a truly breathtaking site.
You may also be interested in a visit to the Museum of Art & Popular Customs in the centre of town - a 17th Century building which has been fully restored to it's former glory in recent years.
The best way to get through all of these in one day is to hire a car.
Car Hire 3000 are the Malaga car hire specialists, offering cars from the airport and city centre throughout the year.
