Mirador de Gibralfaro
The Mirador de Gibralfaro is one of Málaga's most breathtaking viewpoints, perched high above the city on the way to the Castillo de Gibralfaro. The hike up is quite steep, and just when you're hoping to take a little break, the mirador appears like an oasis waiting for you. Originally part of the 14th-century castle built to defend the Alcazaba, it now offers something far more peaceful: sweeping views of the coastline, the historic center, and the bustling port. It's the kind of place where watching the sunset with friends becomes something you’ll look back on with a smile.
Calle Marqués de Larios
Calle Larios was one of the first streets in Spain to become entirely pedestrianized in 2002, which was clearly the best decision - today it is not just a nice shopping street, it is the stage for every cultural event that happens in Málaga: During Feria de Málaga, it’s adorned with lanterns and bustling with celebration, for Semana Santa it becomes the stage for the processions, and during Christmas time, the luces navideñas make people flock to Calle Larios several times a day. It’s the kind of street that, no matter the occasion, always feels like the right place to be.
La Catedral de Málaga
Officially called the Santa Iglesia Catedral Basílica de la Encarnación it’s often referred to as La Manquita (“The One-Armed Lady”) because its southern tower was planned, but never finished. Legend has that the funding was stopped by the crown and the money was used to support the American colonies in their fight for independence from Britain. Though historians debate the accuracy of this, it adds an interesting layer to the cathedral’s story. The unfinished tower is less a flaw and more a reflection of Málaga itself - historic, vibrant, and full of unexpected charm.
That's what I thought...
