Be sure to visit The Picasso Museum; the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle; the Roman Theatre; the Cathedral – all of which are near to each other. If you have spare time, check out the shops all along the pedestrian street called Calle Larios. It is easy to get the train to Málaga and spend a day enjoying the Spanish culture and the many tapas bars! 

 Would you recommend any local restaurants?
