Malaga toursmade easy
Tucked away in the
heart of Costa Del Sol in Spain lies the city of Malaga. Diverse in food,
culture, and art, there so many things that you have yet to see. Soak in the
Spanish sunshine or become a footie fanatic. When visiting Malaga, make sure to
cross these items off your itinerary.
The La Manquita
This name translates to
‘one-armed woman’ and is in the center of the city. It was completed in 1782
and combines the Baroque and Renaissance architectural styles. Day and night
visits are possible but you should book tickets in advance.
Bernardo de Galves’
Birthplace
Spanish history is
incomplete without mentioning Don Bernardo’s name. He is known to have
contributed immensely to the American War of Independence. He played a big role
in aiding several American revolutionaries as they fought for their freedom.
The beaches
Spain is known for its
varied beaches and sunny shorelines. Many of these beaches happen to be in
Malaga!! The most famous out of them are the Playa Caleta and the La Malagueta.
Art galleries
Malaga is the
birthplace of the popular artist, Pablo Picasso. The city now has a museum
dedicated to Picasso and the rich cultural heritage of Malaga called Museo
Picasso. The building adjoins five other palaces in the La Ribera area. Visit
the place to see an extensive collection of artwork from Picasso.
The Calle Marques de
Larios
A very old street that
gives you an idea of life and tradition in medieval Spain. It contrasts with
the few etches of modernity. It is the most expensive residential area known
for its drinks, shopping, and tapas. Buildings bordering the street were
influenced by Chicago’s architectural style.
Café Con Libros
Get a bite to eat at
this café that serves up teas, brunch, coffees, pitufo, and smoothies daily.
They have a terrace where you sit outside to enjoy great food while watching
life bustle by the Plaza de la Merced.
The La Odisea de los
Vinos
Spend an evening at
this wine bar with a plate of gourmet tapas or the menu special tortilla de
patatas. The place has the best sweet wine sourced locally that tastes great
with the cheese that accompanies it.
Hiking near River
Chillar
The outdoor enthusiast
can hike along the Chillar River on a 6-hour trek. This trek takes you through
shallow waters, river beds, and cave walls. You have to make your way to Nerja.
This is a water basin that you can splash around in.
The El Camino Del Rey
In English, it is known
as The King’s Pathway. This is a narrow man-made walkway built into the walls
of a gorge. It is located in El Chorro and was originally used by workers in the
nearby hydroelectric plants.
Alcazaba
This is a
well-preserved medieval palatial fortification. It was built during the
Hammudid dynasty in the 11th century. An interesting feature is that
the site is made to fit the terrain contours and the heights of the hills.
