Picasso Museum Málaga
Picasso Museum MalagaIt was renovated from a 16th-century palace, retaining its Renaissance style. The museum houses a total of 233 works by Picasso, including oil paintings, sketches, sculptures, and more.The collection was donated by Picasso's daughter-in-law Christine, his grandson Bernard, and other family members. It encompasses over two hundred pieces, including oil paintings, sketches, sculptures, prints, and ceramics, spanning from his academic studies in his youth and cubist collages to his late works in the 1970s, effectively laying out a corridor of the evolution of Picasso's style. "Paul in a white hat" is based on a photograph of his eldest son Paul in the park, capturing the child's innocence with remarkable vividness; "Mother and child" and the series of portraits featuring Jacqueline and others are also worth a close look.Malaga · 13.2 km from Torremolinos
Costa del Sol
Costa del Sol is a stretch of resort coastline along the Mediterranean in Malaga Province, extending from Nerja in the east to the Manilva area in the west, spanning over 100 km. The coast gets its name from its climate, which is sunny most days of the year. Vacations here can be very slow-paced: take a walk along the seaside promenade or go for a swim during the day, and at noon, head into a beachside eatery to order a skewer of charcoal-grilled sardines—locals thread the sardines onto thin skewers and grill them over a wood fire. Many eateries even use old fishing boats filled with sand as grills right on the beach. Paired with an iced drink, this is a quintessential dining experience on this coast. In the evening, you can explore the old town of Marbella and wander through the white-walled alleys around the Plaza de los Naranjos. Golf is another highlight here, with a high density of courses along the coast.Mijas · 15.5 km from Torremolinos
La Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnacion
The coastal city of Málaga is the second largest city in Andalusia and the hometown of Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. Favored by European and American holidaymakers for its serene blue skies and warm Mediterranean climate, Málaga is considered the gateway to the Costa del Sol. Once a vital gateway to the Mediterranean, Málaga boasts thousands of years of history. Founded by the Phoenicians and later ruled by the Romans and then the Islamic world, it truly is an ancient city. Though few historical sites remain in Málaga today, with many of its bustling districts replaced by modern skyscrapers, large ancient buildings like the Alcazaba still offer glimpses of the cultural legacy of the Islamic era. For example, the Renaissance-style Málaga Cathedral, built between 1528 and 1782, boasts a north tower reaching 84 meters, making it the second tallest cathedral in Andalusia.Malaga · 13 km from Torremolinos
The Alcazaba
Located in Malaga, The Alcazaba is an important military fortress from the Islamic period and serves as evidence of the long-standing Islamic presence here. Built in the mid-11th century, it extensively utilized columns and stone materials from the adjacent Roman theater during its construction, and was extensively rebuilt by the Nasrid dynasty in the 14th century. Today, it is one of the best-preserved Alcazabas in Spain. The entire fortress consists of nested inner and outer walls. To reach the palace area, one must pass through multiple gates and a deliberately winding uphill path; this "zigzag" entrance is the essence of its original defensive design. In theheart of this fortress, the southern wing of the 11th-century old palace retains horseshoe arches and carved arcades, while the Nasrid palace area is centered around the Courtyard of the Orange Trees and the Courtyard of the Reflecting Pool, where glazed floor tiles complement the fountains, capturing the full charm of Islamic-style courtyards.Malaga · 13.3 km from Torremolinos

If you are into arts this museum is for you. Many are original Picasso paintings. Not a big museum but it will take time to go around especially when reading about every piece. Although there was a set time to enter and we were late by 10 minutes there is actually a queue so you are really not missing anything! The museum is very close to a cathedral and it is literally the centre of the city. Not to be missed

The Costa del Sol, located on the Mediterranean coast of Andalusia in southern Spain, is renowned for its abundant sunshine, long beaches, and vibrant resort atmosphere, making it one of Europe's most popular seaside resorts. With a coastline of approximately 150 kilometers, it enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate with over 300 sunny days a year. Its most unique feature is not only its beautiful and spectacular beaches but also its rolling hills. Visitors can lazily sunbathe, read, or surf on the beach, or simply walk across the main street and hike through the mountains filled with pine trees, broom, and rosemary. Furthermore, it boasts numerous historical sites and scenic spots!

The cathedral is located in the center of Malaga. It is one of the tallest buildings in Malaga. It has a long history and is very beautiful. The square outside the church is crowded with tourists, which is quite lively. The surrounding buildings are also very beautiful.

Akasaba Castle is a highland in the old city of Malaga. It's free to go, climbing slowly along the mountain road, with mottled walls and pleasant scenery outside. Standing at a high altitude, overlooking Malaga's bullfight and coastline, it is refreshing. Continuing up, through the Islamic garden, we reached the interior of the castle and looked out from the castle window like a picture. The castle is generally reserved, the interior is no longer exquisite, but there are a lot of utensils used at that time can be visited. It's interesting that the castle is so intricate that it inadvertently loses its way in the room.

The castle was built by Esteban Martin, a Spaniard who spent most of his life in the United States. His favorite explorer was Columbus, and he was quite disappointed that there was no building that paid tribute to Columbus, so he built this fairy-tale castle.

An incredibly beautiful place for the whole family! A beautiful tropical garden with a diverse collection of orchids, a small waterfall, parrots, and, of course, butterflies—they're completely unafraid of visitors and fly around. Beautiful!
