What people say

hortus quaerens
"Málaga, located on Spain's Costa del Sol, is a vibrant city known for its rich history, pleasant climate, and beautiful Mediterranean coastline. Key highlights include the Alcazaba, a well-preserved Moorish fortress; the Roman Theatre; the Picasso Museum, celebrating the works of the city's famous artist; and the Málaga Cathedral, a stunning example of Renaissance architecture. The city also boasts picturesque beaches and a lively port area. So if you have an extra day in the city, there're many destinations to explore! And it's also perfect for a relaxed, leisurely long vacation, since Málaga enjoys a warm climate, being a coastal city not situated in the mountains like Granada or Ronda."

"Malaga is a vibrant coastal city in southern Spain, located in the region of Andalusia. Known for its rich history, Malaga combines a charming old town with modern city life. The city is the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, and is home to the Picasso Museum, along with other important museums and monuments such as the Alcazaba and Malaga Cathedral. The Costa del Sol's beaches, sunny climate and lively gastronomic scene, with tapas and fresh fish, make Malaga an ideal destination for both cultural tourism and for enjoying the sea and nightlife."
"Once arriving in Malaga, climb up to Mirador de Gibralfaro for an amazing view of Malaga Port and Beach from above, explore P.º del Muelle Uno – a seaside street by the port and a park next to it, visit La Malagueta and later on explore Centro Historico along with the Alcazaba, Catedral de la Encarnación de Málaga and Teatro Romano de Málaga."
