It is also an important cultural and artistic centre, rich in history and with a truly fascinating past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>M\u00e1laga<\/strong> was founded by the Phoenicians in 800 BC, when it was known as <em>Malaka<\/em>, a name derived from the Phoenician word for \u201c<em>salt<\/em>\u201d, since the most important activity at the time was the salting of food.<\/p>\n<p>After passing under the rule of the Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans and Visigoths, M\u00e1laga was <strong>conquered by the Arabs<\/strong> in the second half of the 13th century, when it became part of the Sultanate of Granada.<\/p>\n<p>Only in 1487 did the Castilians of King Ferdinand the Catholic, through the <em>Reconquista<\/em>, reclaim the Spanish city during one of the bloodiest battles in the history of M\u00e1laga.<\/p>\n<p>The city\u2019s different Roman, Phoenician and Muslim origins emerge in several places, but the most emblematic is the <strong>Alcazaba<\/strong>, where traces of past conquests are concentrated within just a few metres.<\/p>\n<p>The ancient <strong>Roman Theatre<\/strong>, the imposing fortress of the kings of Granada and the <strong>castle of<\/strong> <strong>Gibralfaro<\/strong>, which dominates the entire city from above, offer visitors, at a single glance, the whole historical journey of M\u00e1laga.<\/p>\n<p>Nor should we forget the role that the capital of the Costa del Sol played in 20th-century art. M\u00e1laga was, in fact, the birthplace of the famous <strong>Pablo Picasso<\/strong>, whose life and works can be discovered at the Casa Natal and the Picasso Museum.<\/p>\n<p>On this page, we recommend <strong>the 10 things to do and see during your visit to Malaga.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If, instead, you are looking for a <strong>hotel in Malaga<\/strong>, we recommend choosing from those offered by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/city\/es\/malaga.html?aid=340168;label=malaga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\">Booking.com<\/a>.<\/strong> There are around 140 hotels with prices, photos and reviews from guests who have stayed there before you. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/city\/es\/malaga.html?aid=340168;label=malaga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Go to Booking.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class='code-block code-block-11' style='margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;'>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6745002529729253\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- Primo Paragrafo -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6745002529729253\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6773079954\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"tdi_5\" class=\"tdc-row\"><div class=\"vc_row tdi_6  wpb_row td-pb-row\" >\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_6,\r\n                .tdi_6 .tdc-columns{\r\n                    min-height: 0;\r\n                }.tdi_6,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_6 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_6 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_6:before,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_6:after{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: table;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"vc_column tdi_8  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span12\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_8{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" >[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The Alcazaba of Malaga&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1442777089050{background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span class=\"dropcap\" style=\"background-color: #dd3333;\">1<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you want to visit the city of <strong>M\u00e1laga<\/strong>, we recommend immersing yourself in its origins, starting from the symbolic place where the three cultures that characterise the whole city \u2014 Roman, Arab and Renaissance \u2014 come together.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2972\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2972\" style=\"width: 375px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2972\" src=\"https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/alcazaba-malaga.jpg\" alt=\"The Alcazaba of Malaga\" width=\"375\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/alcazaba-malaga.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/alcazaba-malaga-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2972\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Alcazaba of Malaga<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The <strong>Alcazaba<\/strong>, which in Arabic means \u201cfortress\u201d, is the oldest Muslim work in Spain, built between 1057 and 1063 on a rock where Roman ruins and an ancient defensive bastion of Phoenician-Punic origin once stood.

Generally, these snacks consist of \u201ccold\u201d dishes based on cured meats, cheeses, anchovies, olives, salad, or \u201c<em>hot<\/em>\u201d ones based on chicken, meat, fish, squid, octopus, potatoes, eggs, vegetables and greens, combined in the most imaginative ways.<\/p>\n<p>The habit shared by Spaniards, and one we recommend to all visitors, is to order something to drink, perhaps a glass of \u201c<em>tinto<\/em>\u201d red wine or beer, and two or more \u201ctapas\u201d in one bar, with prices per portion around \u20ac1.75, and then move on to the next place to repeat the same \u201critual\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If the tapas have only whetted your appetite, we recommend trying the <strong>typical dishes of Andalusian cuisine<\/strong>. The traditional dish is <em>gazpacho<\/em>, the cold soup made with vegetables and tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and onions, accompanied by croutons.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Fish<\/h3>\n<p>You cannot leave the Costa del Sol without tasting fish-based dishes. There are plenty of restaurants and <em>chiringuitos<\/em> serving fresh fish, shellfish or <em>\u201cpesca\u00edto frito\u201d<\/em>, fried squid, anchovies and seafood, especially along the beaches and around the port area of M\u00e1laga.<\/p>\n<h3>Meat<\/h3>\n<p>Alternatively, you can also choose <strong>meat-based dishes<\/strong>, such as roast loin, <em>cochinillo<\/em> asado, roast pork, chicken, <em>chorizo<\/em>, sausage, <em>tortilla<\/em>, omelette, bull\u2019s \u201crabo\u201d, or tail, for the more daring, as well as a wide variety of legume and vegetable soups, stews and the typical stuffed baked potato.<\/p>\n<p>Choose typical restaurants displaying the <em>menu del d\u00eda<\/em>: often a first course, second course, side dish, drink and dessert will cost you no more than \u20ac10!<\/p>\n<h3>Ice creams and desserts<\/h3>\n<p>If you love sweets, you should know that in M\u00e1laga you can taste the <strong>best ice creams<\/strong> in Andalusia. The most typical flavour is, of course, the <strong>famous cream with raisins and rum that bears the city\u2019s name<\/strong>. Not to be missed are also <em>tortas locas<\/em>, sweets made with sweet potatoes, and the traditional <em>Borrachuelos malague\u00f1os<\/em> soaked in liqueur.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"wpb_wrapper td_block_separator td_block_wrap vc_separator tdi_58  td_separator_solid td_separator_center\"><span style=\"border-color:juicy_pink;border-width:1px;width:100%;\"><\/span><\/div>[vc_column_text]<div class='code-block code-block-9' style='margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;'>\n<script async type='text\/javascript' src='\/\/s.clickiocdn.com\/t\/218260\/360_light.js'><\/script>\n<script class='__lxGc__' type='text\/javascript'>\n((__lxGc__=window.__lxGc__||{'s':{},'b':0})['s']['_218260']=__lxGc__['s']['_218260']||{'b':{}})['b']['_709457']={'i':__lxGc__.b++};\n<\/script>\n\n<script async type='text\/javascript' src='\/\/s.clickiocdn.com\/t\/218260\/360_light.js'><\/script>\n<script class='__lxGc__' type='text\/javascript'>\n((__lxGc__=window.__lxGc__||{'s':{},'b':0})['s']['_218260']=__lxGc__['s']['_218260']||{'b':{}})['b']['_709459']={'i':__lxGc__.b++};\n<\/script><\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"tdi_59\" class=\"tdc-row\"><div class=\"vc_row tdi_60  wpb_row td-pb-row\" >\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_60,\r\n                .tdi_60 .tdc-columns{\r\n                    min-height: 0;\r\n                }.tdi_60,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_60 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_60 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_60:before,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_60:after{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: table;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"vc_column tdi_62  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span12\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_62{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_62 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_62 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_62 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_62 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_62 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" >[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Where to Stay in Malaga&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1442777569373{background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span class=\"dropcap\" style=\"background-color: #c60c0c;\">10<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>M\u00e1laga<\/strong> is a very affordable city, as are most Spanish cities.
