What to see in Malaga

Second city in Andalusia after Seville. Malaga is the capital of the Costa del Sol. An unmissable stop if you are visiting the Spanish region or if you are on holiday in one of the many nearby seaside resorts.

Malaga is a wonderful city, where the sun always shines. Here good cuisine joins the sea, to culture, to traditions, to museums and the art of Pablo Picasso, born right here.

Malaga is connected by a very efficient train: he feels. More than a train, it looks like a real open-air metro that will allow you to admire an excellent view of the Costa del Sol during its slow journey.. In fact, it stops from the center of Malaga to all the main seaside resorts on the Costa del Sol, passing through the airport and McArthurGlen Designer Outlets in Malaga (a highly recommended stop for shopping lovers). All this with little more than 2 euros per ride. (I attach below the photo with the map of all the stops)

The city of Malaga can be easily explored on foot, reaching all the points of greatest interest.
