Frequently Asked Questions

At the cruise berths, about two kilometres from the historic centre. A shuttle drops you at the Plaza de la Marina in five minutes, but the walk is pleasant and worth doing.
Yes, and it makes a fine introduction. The route follows the Palmeral de las Sorpresas, a palm-lined promenade, then Muelle Uno with its terraces and the multicoloured cube of the Centre Pompidou Málaga. Allow about twenty minutes.
The Alcazaba and its Roman theatre in the morning, then the Picasso Museum, then the Atarazanas market and Calle Larios. All on foot, no excursion needed. Adding Granada to the same day is a different proposition, and it would cost you Málaga.
A palace-fortress raised in the eleventh century by Moorish rulers at the foot of Mount Gibralfaro, backing onto a first-century Roman theatre. You climb from patio to patio among orange trees, pools and horseshoe arches, with wider and wider views over the harbour. Arriving at opening, around 9 a.m., spares you the queues and the heat.
Yes, if you have the legs and half an hour to spare. The path starts at the Alcazaba and the summit view takes in the bullring, the rooftops and the sea horizon. In hot weather, carry water: there is almost no shade.
Around two hundred works, from ceramics to cubist canvases, mostly donated by the artist's family, housed in the Buenavista palace. Allow one to one and a half hours and book ahead: Picasso was born here in 1881 and the museum is busy. Plaza de la Merced, five minutes away, surrounds his birthplace.
Yes. La Malagueta city beach is fifteen minutes' walk from the centre. The chiringuitos grill espetos there — sardines skewered on canes over embers. It is the taste of an Andalusian summer.
A nineteenth-century hall built behind a Moorish gateway and lit by a large contemporary stained-glass window: hams, almonds, glistening fish and juices pressed to order. It is the best place to see Málaga as it actually lives rather than as a postcard.
Very well. Flat ground between port and centre, a beach within walking distance, a lively market and a fortress to explore. Only the Gibralfaro climb and midday July heat call for caution with young children.
The euro and Spanish, with workable English in the centre. Cards are accepted everywhere. Spring and autumn give you the light without the furnace; in July and August, do your sightseeing early and keep the afternoon for the beach.
