The center of Malaga is a true treasure that combines the city’s rich history with a vibrant urban life. With a perfect blend of historical charm and modernity, this lively district is a must-visit for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the essence of the city.

A visit to the center of Malaga would not be complete without exploring its most precious gem, the Alcazaba. This imposing fortified palace, built in the 11th century, stands on a hill overlooking the harbor and offers panoramic views of the city. Stroll through its lush gardens and admire the intricate architectural details from the Muslim era as you delve into the history of the region. A short distance from the Alcazaba is the Roman Theater, an ancient amphitheater that was discovered in the 1950s. It is a fascinating testament to Malaga’s Roman past and a must-visit for history enthusiasts.

Right next to the Alcazaba stands the majestic Cathedral of Malaga, popularly known as “La Manquita” due to its unfinished tower. This Renaissance cathedral is an architectural and cultural landmark of the city. Admire its impressive facade and explore its interior, where valuable artworks and beautiful architectural details can be found.

Downtown Malaga is also a perfect place for a pleasant stroll along cobblestone streets and to discover charming squares such as the Plaza de la Constitución and the Plaza de la Merced. These squares are surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and shops, where you can enjoy delicious local cuisine and relax while observing the daily life of the people of Malaga.

Downtown Malaga is also famous for its world-renowned museums. The Picasso Museum Malaga, located in the Buenavista Palace, houses an extensive collection of works by the famous painter Pablo Picasso. From his early creations to his masterpieces, the museum offers a fascinating insight into Picasso’s artistic evolution. Another notable museum is the Pompidou Center Malaga, a branch of the famous modern art museum in Paris. Here, you’ll find an eclectic collection of contemporary art and temporary exhibitions that will leave you inspired and thoughtful.

If you’re a shopping enthusiast, you must visit Calle Larios, the main commercial street in downtown Malaga. Here, you’ll find a wide selection of shops, from major brands to independent boutiques, where you can purchase everything from fashion to traditional items and souvenirs.
