With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, Málaga is one of the most visited tourist cities in southern Spain. Capital of the Costa del Sol, it is famous for its beaches, the Gibralfaro castle and, of course, the Picasso Museum. Among the hotels in Málaga, choosing Catalonia is a guarantee of a comfortable stay.
Bathed by the waters of the Alboran Sea, Málaga has 14 kilometers of beach. Among the most popular are Malagueta beach, close to the historic center of the city; Pedregalejo beach, the old fishing township or Huelin beach, where one of our hotels in Málaga is located, a minute walk from the sand.
Walking through the historic center is one of the best things to do in Málaga, especially along the busy Larios street, the epicenter of the city's feria held in August. Less than 5 minutes walk from this street you will reach the Málaga Cathedral, popularly known as “La Manquita”, since one of its two towers was never built. Not far from there on foot is also the Alcazaba, an 11th century Muslim fortification that houses a complex of gardens, fountains, patios and palaces full of charm.
The Gibralfaro Castle is another must-see, since from its wall and its 8 towers you will enjoy the best views of the city and the sea. A perfect plan at sunset, as is a stroll through the port of Málaga or being amazed by the good state of conservation of the Roman Theater.
