Hotel Malaga Centro Málaga Calle Mármoles, 6 Online Booking

Traditional, earthy colours in comfortable ensuite rooms with all the modern amenities you need. On your doorstep a choice of activities including walking, swimming and exploring the sights and historical buildings of the city. There are many beaches strewn up and down this coastline and it is worth visiting a few different ones - take the time to soak up the sunshine, splash in the sea and recharge your batteries.

Once you feel a little more active why not climb up to see the Arabian fortress of Alcazabar with its landscaped gardens and fountains, at the entrance you will see the Roman ruins of the amphitheatre and higher up on the hill is the Castillo del Gilbralfaro once the Phoenician lighthouse and where you can enjoy splendid views.

Museums and churches paying tribute to the arts and history are all to be enjoyed and especially the Foundation of Picasso and his birth place.

There are two types of shopping here - the markets at the weekends provide a wonderful arena of colour, life, produce, gifts, artisan fayre and are very well organised giving space and a clean environment to shop in. Be sure to visit Calle Larios for designer wear, jewellery, perfumes and the best in fashion design.

Evenings are best spent in a fine restaurant eating the catch of the day with a nice bottle of wine and your favourite company.
