    We loved this historic monument. Beautiful to see, very interesting architecture, and great views of Malaga. I also loved the gardens and how the plant life was interspersed with the buildings. The building contains ornate tile, stone and plasterwork’s. We spent about 2 hours. Note that there are many stairs, and sections can be steep to climb. Highly recommended!

    Amazing building.
    Well worth the admission fee.
    The ceiling domes are worth the visit on their own.
    We went in January so it was Fairly quiet.

    Amazing castle with beautiful views over the city. The entry fee is around 3 euro and you can combine it with the Alcazaba for around 5 euro.

    This is genius! Combine cars and fashion and you have something for all members of the family.
    This is a very good exhibition. I might like fashion more than cars, but they do have some special cars that feels more like fashion.
    Worth a visit. Buy the ticket at the door. It’s cheap and there is not much of a line.

    Out of season so no queues for us.
    Interesting gallery and exhibition with a dance on one exhibit performed at 5pm

    Interesting way to spend a few hours and see some important art work that certainly gets you thinking… as art does.

    This museum is quite a find tucked away just off the main shopping area of Malaga. The wonderful and diverse array of decorative glass, glass windows and period furniture is beautifully curated in a gorgeous 18th century house. You can only visit on a guided tour and we were lucky enough to be taken round by the owner of the house and all the pieces on display. Great value at 7 euros (5 for seniors) for a 90 minute tour that was informative yet fun .

    This is one of the main shopping streets and we enjoyed our stroll down it. Very modern with classic Spanish buildings, clean and neat. And we found a place for coffee to relax after our stroll.

    This is one of the best features of this seaside town. It's a huge park near the sea and also part of the center of town. Lots of people were here enjoying the outdoors. And it is a beautiful park.
