The most famous resident of Malaga is Pablo Picasso, who was born there, which makes it all the more worth visiting. The museum is located in a 16th-century building – Buenavista Palace, which was specially adapted for this purpose. The exhibition presents a collection of the artist’s works from 1892 to 1972. The collection includes paintings, drawings, graphics, sculptures and ceramics showing the artist’s extraordinary versatility.

Castillo de Gibralfaro

The castle was built in the 10th century and was rebuilt again in the 14th century. It used to protect the Alcazaba fortress located at the foot of the hill. Currently, only the defensive walls remain of the building, from which you can see an extraordinary panorama of Malaga. You can reach the top of the hill by car, bus or on foot. We recommend choosing a walking tour, because it takes only half an hour and allows you to admire the landscape from the viewpoints located on the route.
