Many people know it for being the city that was born to the great Picasso and, contrary to what many people think, the artist was very close to this land. His house, in the Plaza de la Merced, where the Picasso Foundation can now be visited, is a good example of this because the artist has always maintained it as a reference and refuge. Nowadays it is one of those tourist points that one has to pass if you come to the city of Malaga to spend a couple of days.

Fiesta, food, museums and art, music, theater, cinema – it has one of the great film festivals in Spain – and the beach, a lot of beaches, some of the best in the Andalusian Mediterranean. The coast of Malaga is pure magic for those who live far from the sea and look forward to disconnecting from their routines in a space surrounded by sand, algae and warm waters. The city beaches in Malaga are very comfortable to take a swim between visits and tours, to eat a good meat skewer next to the shore or to simply walk. They have all kinds of services and are very close to the historic center and the main urban hotels, such as the Petit Palace Plaza Málaga.
The city of Malaga offers spectacular urban beaches where you can enjoy eating a traditional meat skewer on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
In the outskirts and the municipalities near the capital you can find other quieter beaches, with virgin nature and with a more traditional atmosphere. The area of Benalmádena, where you can find spectacular accommodations at a very good price, such as the Vincci Aleysa, is where you can enjoy the classic beaches of Malaga, its typical gastronomy, its relaxed life and its natural surroundings.
Marbella deserves a point apart. This city of glamor and exclusive leisure is the capital of the Andalusian Mediterranean holidays, the jewel of the Costa del Sol. In this area the hotels are more exclusive, in keeping with the purchasing power of those who usually spend their holidays in Marbella. However, there are exceptions that offer high quality accommodation with multiple services at really competitive rates, such as the Vincci Estrella de Mar, a luxury hotel at very fair prices.
To get the best prices is necessary to do a selection process and make an exhaustive search. Always go first to the official websites of the hotels that you are interested in, compare prices with third-party platforms (Booking, TripAdvisor, Expedia…) and you will see that probably the best rate is always on the hotels pages since you save the service fee of the intermediary and, in addition, you get personalized service.
