·17 July, 2020
·Samantha - Travelling King

Malaga is a beachside city within the southern Spanish region of Andalusia. Malaga’s airport is often used as a gateway to the Costa del Sol, with many travellers not setting foot within the actual city itself. And while part of the city is built up of skyrise apartments and hotel resorts where tourists can lounge by the pool and enjoy the year-round fantastic weather, the majority of the city has an incredibly strong artistic and historical past that is very evident in Malaga as it stands today. As well as the city’s palm trees and soft sandy beaches, Malaga is known as being the birthplace of artist Pablo Picasso who is a world-famous artist from the early 20th century. The Picasso Museum Malaga is housed in a converted 16th-century palace within Malaga Old Town, and the artist’s childhood home is also open and renovated with some early works and restored…

Budget Travel Guide to Malaga

Malaga is one of the largest cities on the south coast of Spain, and while it’s long been the gateway to beach resorts on the Costa del Sol, it’s far too often been overlooked as a travel destination in its own right. The city has long played an important role in Andalusian affairs, but it has always been in the shadow of nearby Seville, a city which for a long time was the centre of the vast Spanish Empire. For travellers today, that’s just fine, because it means that compared to the more popular Spanish cities and the package holiday influenced coastline, that Malaga is both a cheap and untouristy city to explore. Marvel at Moorish era architecture, visited the hallowed halls of the Picasso Museum, and indulge in great value local cuisine at the tapas bars and taverns. It’s a great place to visit, and to inspire your next…

Nestled within the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Spain’s Andalusia region, Granada is one of the most historically diverse places in Spain with strong Islamic and Christian influences. It’s also an incredibly captivating city made up of crooked streets lined with tea houses, quintessentially Spanish white-washed buildings and the best tapas scene in the country. The main draw Granada comes from the Alhambra Palace and fortress, which sits on a hill overlooking the city. It’s a monumental complex built in a Moorish/Arab style dating back to the 13th century when this part of Spain was a Muslim region. And when Andalusia became a Christian kingdom years later, the Alhambra was the Royal Court of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella who added some Renaissance style in the 15th century.…
