Are you thinking of taking a trip to Málaga and not sure what to see? Don’t worry – once you’ve read this post, you’ll be raring to make plans for the capital of the Costa del Sol.
If there’s one thing Málaga can boast about, it’s the sheer number of things to do in this city, which is so rich in history, art, culture and entertainment, with 365 days of sunshine a year. Trying to cram all the things to do in Málaga into a single article is an impossible task. So, we’re going to give you a rundown of the must-do activities and places you simply can’t miss on your visit to this city on the Costa del Sol.
A stroll down Calle Larios
If you like the shopping , then you’ll love this itinerary. Calle Larios is the city’s most iconic and bustling shopping street; you could call it Málaga’s Fifth Avenue.
Stroll down Calle Larios, admire its fascinating architecture inspired by the nobility, shop at the country’s finest brands, enjoy the mimes and let yourself be carried away by the sweet scent of jasmine from the famous Malaga-style biznagas.
Visit the Centre Pompidou
Even if you’re in Málaga, you can still take a short trip to the European city of art, Paris. How? Through the Pompidou Centre, or ‘cube’. This is the French capital’s only overseas venue.
Pay a visit to this museum and immerse yourself in the contemporary art of greats such as Frida Kahlo, Kandinsky and Pablo Picasso.
Visit the Roman Theatre
View the Roman Theatre and walk on the very same ground that the Romans walked on a thousand years ago in ancient Malacca, where the Romans performed the famous tragicomedy plays we know today; and if you’re lucky, you might even catch a performance of a play from that era.
Watching the sunset on the beach
If you’re more of a beach person, we recommend you watch the orange Malaga sun set over the Mediterranean Sea, and if you’re up for an adventure, you can also go for a dip. We like Malagueta Beach, which is quite close to the city centre, and you can also take the opportunity to have your photo taken in front of the iconic Malagueta sign.
Enjoy the cuisine of Málaga
Málaga is renowned throughout Spain for its exquisite Mediterranean cuisine. Take a stroll through the historic centre and make sure you stop off at the Lolita’s Andalusian Tavern. Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner in the most authentic and traditional part of Málaga. Pop into Lolita and treat yourself to a delicious portion accompanied by a nice cold draught beer!
Relax in Alameda Park
If you’re tired of all the streets and alleyways and need to switch off for a bit, we recommend sitting on one of the benches in the city’s ‘green lung’, whilst admiring its beautiful subtropical gardens, fountains and elegant statues.
Have a drink in Plaza Uncibay
Pop along to Plaza Uncibay and join in with Málaga’s youngest and most party-loving crowd. Have a cocktail or a glass of wine at the bar Amaretto and enjoy its great atmosphere in a prime location.
If you love a party, let the PR team at Plaza Uncibay show you the ropes and dive into Málaga’s nightlife. It’ll be an unforgettable experience!
