Don't just use Malaga airport as a gateway to the Costas___check out Malaga city and some culture and history. The Cathedral is magnificent and well worth the 5euros entry charge as is the Alcazabilla which is a 12th century palace fortress situated just behind the Cathedral and beside the Roman theatre. Malaga has some great cafes for having a relaxing... More

It costs €5 per adult to visit, and you can spend a good hour or so looking around. There is plenty of nice artwork and architecture to enjoy. There is a small shop and museum on the way out – but be warned the toilets here are not nice! You are not allowed to use flash photography, but this is... More

The Malagans gave the money that had been earmarked for the second tower to the Americans to fight the Brits in the war of independence. I suspect the work will now never be finished. On a sunny evening is is worth having a drink at the Cheers bar in Obispo place so you can see the beautiful pink and gold... More

This church of epic proportions in the centre of Malaga is not to be missed. It is built with a nave and two aisles. The artwork is indeed grand and the tombs along with the Gothic altar pieces are worth the time especially if you are a Renaissance scholar.

Maybe we have been spoiled by all the beautiful cathedrals we have seen throughout Europe but this one was not that special. I would not recommend going out of your way to visit it.

This cathedral is in marked contrast to what you see in Seville,Cordoba and Granada, more recent, less ornate but still quietly impressive. It is light and airy and a marked architectural contrast to other in Andalusia dating from the 17th century.
