"my adopted city!" Málaga by cbeaujean

Málaga Travel Guide: 837 reviews and 2,097 photos

view from our house,in february,with sierra nevada (3478m) at the very back stage...

a city in perpetual move...and a lot to offer!

DON'T BELIEVE MOST OF THE GUIDES,EVEN RECENT ONES!!!....,explaining malaga is only a "landing" place on costa del sol entrance!¡ES MUCHO MAS!
since 27th of october 2003,as picasso birth place,visit ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PICASSO MUSEUMS,showing works never exposed until now!!!
moreover (as barcelona)the city is opening itself to the sea....making plans about harbour site...

after visiting my page,if you need more to be convinced,share an interesting and complementary point of view,having also a look on my friend malecka's malaga page!

what's new in malaga?

*new "PALACIO DE FERIAS Y CONGRESOS" ,malaga's avant-garde congress hall now open...
*new "CENTRO DE ARTE CONTEMPORANEO" (contemporary art new center)
*"TEATRO ROMANO" (roman theater) open for visitors and also for theater performances....
*"SENDAELRETIRO":A NEW ORNITHOLOGICAL and BOTANICAL GARDEN in CHURRIANA...see "things to do" new tip!
new great garden opens doors.After more than 5 years of renovations,the RETIRO reopens its gates.
This is a phenomenal site which dates from the 17th century,and will become soon one of the most important site of costa del sol!
*SOON:"MUSEO DE BELLAS ARTES" (fine arts museum) in an old palace called "la aduana"(old customs) near town hall....

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:way of life,cultural mixture,good food,climate mildness
  • Cons:the smoker is all-powerful...
  • In a nutshell:life is pleasant here....

    Have just returned from a walking holiday in Andalusia and ended up having a day in Malaga waiting for overnight train. I agree it is certainly not just an airport drop off. Had a great day.
