About Málaga

Old town, port, beaches.

Málaga is the capital of the Costa del Sol and one of Spain’s largest cities. Its old town runs from the cathedral and the Alcazaba to Calle Larios and the port, with the Picasso Museum, the Centre Pompidou and the Carmen Thyssen Museum a short walk apart. To the east the city has its own beaches, at La Malagueta, Pedregalejo and El Palo, and the airport and the high-speed train to Madrid are about fifteen minutes from the centre. Marbella is under an hour along the coast.
