As Pablo Picasso’s birthplace, one of Malaga’s main attractions is the museum dedicated to him, which is housed within the beautifully restored Buenavista Palace.
Another of Malaga’s best attractions is Alcazaba, which was built between 1057 and 1063, probably the most important military fortification remaining from the Hispanic-Arabic period. Malaga is now such a foodie destination, and the Mercado Central de Atarazanas is very popular. This indoor farmers market is bursting with brilliant colours and smells of fresh fruits and vegetables and local specialities such as almonds, anchovies and olives. The presentations are stunning, and the building itself offers stained glass windows and ironwork inspired by Les Halles in Paris. You can order tapas and enjoy the amazing wines. Everything is delicious in Malaga, from the humble tapas to the extravagant Michelin star restaurants. The striking, modern Port of Malaga is lined with upmarket restaurants and bars. A visit to the majestic Malaga Cathedral is a must! The artwork and architecture are magnificent. Tours are taking you up onto the roof, where you can enjoy the sensational 360 degree views over the city. Not to be missed are some outstanding museums, including the Pablo Picasso Museum, where you can learn about his life and enjoy the art.

The Pillars of Hercules with fantastic views of North Africa’s Morocco, the huge caverns of St Michael’s Cave, the Skywalk lookout at the top of the rock and the Barbary Macaque apes are all Instagrammable photo opportunities. Some guests also like to nip over to the mythical Tangiers or escape to the deserted beaches of the Atlantic coastline of Cadiz.
San Pedro has a relaxed ambience though there is plenty to do. The wide, palm-lined boulevard leads to the glorious beach and the beautifully tiled promenade. Lush gardens are on one side of the promenade and the sandy banks on the other.
