Excursions in Málaga

Malaga was founded by the Phoenicians in 770 BC, and was called Malaka. Today, it is one of the busiest seaports of the Mediterranean Sea, and the historical center concentrates many archaeological sites from the Phoenician, Roman, Arab and Christian eras.

What is worth seeing in Malaga

Book a sightseeing tour of Malaga. This will allow you to look at the main sights in a short time, to which you can later return on your own or with an English-speaking guide. Top must-see places during your visit to Malaga:

• Gibralfaro Castle;
• Alcazaba Fortress;
• Cathedral of Malaga.

Be sure to walk along Marqués de Larios street during a walking tour. Its atmosphere and luxury is not a halfpenny the worse than the famous Fifth Avenue in the center of Manhattan in New York.

Guides like to take tourists to the Atarazanas Market. The original building, dating back to the Nasrid period, was a naval workshop where ships were built and repaired. That is why it is called "Atarazanas", i.e. the shipyard.

You will certainly enjoy a tour of the museums. Most of them are located in the historical center. We should note:

• Museum of Malaga,
• Picasso Museum,
• Pompidou Museum;

Museum Jorge Rando, recommended by the guides, stores the artist’s paintings and regularly holds exhibitions of modern neo-expressionists.

Beach vacation

A coastal tour has the chance to become the most memorable part of the trip. Malaga is surrounded by many golden bays. Within the city, guides note the beach of Malagueta. Those who want to avoid the crowds, should give preference to remote lagoons, for example:

• Caleta de Maro;
• Calas Torre del Pino;
• Playa de las Alberquillas;
• Cabopino (well-known for its picturesque marshmallow dunes).
