Discover Málaga, after your golf day!

Begin high above the city at Gibralfaro Castle, a fourteenth-century fortress built to protect Málaga and the Alcazaba below. From its defensive walls you can enjoy impressive views across the port, bullring and Mediterranean coastline. Walk downhill towards the Alcazaba, one of Spain's best-preserved Moorish fortresses, filled with horseshoe arches, tiled courtyards, gardens and historic towers. At its base stands Málaga's Roman Theatre, the oldest monument in the city.

Málaga Cathedral is instantly recognisable because its second tower was never completed, earning it the affectionate nickname La Manquita. Built over the site of a former mosque, the cathedral took more than two centuries to construct. Inside, admire the carved choir by Pedro de Mena, imposing organs and elegant chapels before enjoying views across the terracotta rooftops and Mediterranean from the completed north tower.

Pablo Picasso was born in Málaga and spent the first ten years of his life here. Begin at his birthplace in Plaza de la Merced, where personal objects and early sketches reveal his family life and beginnings. A short walk away, the Museo Picasso Málaga occupies the Renaissance Palacio de Buenavista and presents hundreds of works spanning his academic beginnings, Cubist experiments and later ceramics.

Located beside Málaga's port, the colourful glass structure known as El Cubo houses the first Centre Pompidou opened outside France. Its exhibitions rotate, presenting important modern and contemporary works from the Paris collection. The cube itself has become one of Málaga's most recognisable contemporary landmarks, particularly when illuminated after sunset.

Málaga's Soho district is an urban neighbourhood transformed through art. Large-scale murals bring colour to its streets while independent galleries, workshops and cultural spaces give the area a creative personality. The Made in Soho market adds design, crafts and vintage pieces to the mix, reflecting a neighbourhood regenerated through community and culture.

Calle Larios is Málaga's great urban promenade and one of the city's most elegant streets. Its harmonious nineteenth-century façades form the commercial and social heart of the centre. Pedestrianised since 2003, it is now the setting for Málaga's most important celebrations, while surrounding streets offer everything from traditional tapas to international cuisine.
