Malaga Sightseeing

Malaga is not only beach and parties, Malaga is culture and the city has an old heritage. We recommend the visit to the Picasso Museum, the Alcazaba castle or walking by the narrow streets from the city center, which will transport your mind into the old times with its classic and restaured buildings.

Paseo de Reding
Lovers of architecture have here the opportunity to see traditional houses from the beginning of the 20th Century, built by the thriving middle -classes of the time.Agood choice for a stroll and to have lunch.

Calle Marqus de Larios
It is now the main commercial pedestrian street of the city. It was inaugurated in 1891 and was named after one of Malaga's most important 19th century businessmen. Here you will find all types of shops, businesses and restaurants, and should also explore its narrow adjoining passageways such as the Pasaje de Chinitas.

Plaza del General Torrijos
A major connection point in one of the loveliest areas of the city. From here you can see the Alcazaba, the Puerta Oscura gardens and La Coracha, the Paseo del Parque and the Paseo de la Farola. The square's main feature is the Tres Gracias foutain, which commemorates the remodelling of the square in 1878-79 to a design by Jose Mara Sancha, who was a key figure in much of the city's design at the beginning of the century.You can also see the former Noble Hospital builing building.

Baños del Carmen

Puente de los Alemanes

La Farola
The lighthouse is one of the city's best -known features. Along the promenade towards the lighthouse from the Parque, is the statue of El Cenachero, built in memory of the old "marengos".

Casa del Guardia

It is said that Queen Elizabeth II tried some local wines here, the winery still being owned by the descendants of the first owner who bought the winery to "de la Guardia", when he accepted a governamental position in Segovia and left Malaga.

Jardin Botnico-(Botanic Garden)
Considered one of the best of Europe, the historical botanic garden of the Finca de la Concepcin was created by the marqueses of Loring in 1850.
