malaga

Bonjour, malaga

Malaga might not be as popular as other Spanish cities, but a quick visit to the birthplace of Pablo Picasso is enough to win any visitor's heart. With a great mix of ancient history and modern culture, nearly 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, and several kilometres of beach, it's quite easy to see why Malaga has been described as 'Paradise City'.

Roman Theatre

Right at the base of the Alcazaba, this is Malaga’s oldest surviving structure — built in the 1st century BC during the reign of Emperor Augustus. It was in use for a few hundred years, then mostly forgotten. When the Moors arrived, they used stones from the theatre to help build the Alcazaba above it. For centuries, it was completely buried. It wasn’t rediscovered until the 1950s, when construction workers stumbled on it by accident. These days, it’s been partly restored and open to the public. You can walk around the site and even catch the occasional open-air performance in summer.

Malaga Park

Running alongside the port, Malaga Park (also called Parque de la Alameda) is a long, shaded stretch filled with exotic plants, fountains, and old sculptures. It was built on reclaimed land in the late 1800s and has a bit of that faded old-world charm. Not huge, but a good spot to cool off, take a slow walk, or just sit under the palm trees for a break from the sun.

Feria de Agosto

Malaga’s biggest party of the year happens every August. It kicks off with fireworks and runs for about a week, with two main zones: one in the city centre during the day, and the official fairgrounds (a bit outside town) at night. Expect dancing in the streets, horses, live music, plenty of flamenco dresses, and locals handing you a glass of sweet wine. There are food stalls, rides, and casetas (tent bars) blasting everything from traditional Sevillanas to reggaeton.

Port of Malaga

The Port of Malaga is still a working port, but these days you’re more likely to spot cruise ships and yachts than cargo. The waterfront’s been cleaned up nicely — Muelle Uno is the modern bit, with restaurants, shops, and an art museum (Pompidou Centre)—good spot for a walk, a coffee, or just watching ships come and go. You’re right by the Old Town too, so it's easy to swing by.
