Sun… sea… sand… and siestas all help to make Malaga one of the UK’s most loved holiday destinations. From romantic weekend city breaks, to weeks on the beach with the whole family, Malaga just keeps us coming back for more.

Birth place of revered painter Pablo Picasso and Hollywood actor Antonio Banderas, Malaga is the major coastal city of Andalucia. Occupied by the Moors until the mid-fifteenth century, Malaga not only became the foremost merchant centre within the area, but was also left with the stunning La Alcazaba, a Muslim fortress dating back to 1065. Other historic sites of interest include Malaga’s 16th century cathedral, the city’s main theatre Teatro Cervantes (where Antonio Banderas once trod the boards), and the Palacio de Jos Condes which now plays host to the superb Museo Picasso, featuring a large collection of the artist’s work

In addition to being a centre for culture, Malaga also offers an array of culinary delights. Tapas is the tradition cuisine, with excellent restaurants such as Antigua Casa de la Guardia (Malaga’s oldest tapas bar) offering a wonderfully inexpensive way to dine. In fact, many local restaurants and bars will offer a selected menu including wine for as little as 6 euros (approx. £4.20). The Plaza de la Constitucion and Plaza de Uncibay offer a good selection of bars and restaurants where food such as pescaito frito (small fried fish such as sardines and red mullet) and refreshing sopa de almendra conuvas (almond soup with grapes) can be consumed.

Sunshine, historic culture, excellent cuisine, lively nightlife and good museums all make Malaga a city not to be missed. Other cities within easy reach are the thriving areas of Marbella, Fuengirola, Torremolinos
