Looking at this picture, you’d never guess it was taken in Andalusia, in Torremolinos, a village close to Malaga. This wonderful church belongs to an old hospital, still in use but as a psychiatry unit. It is difficult to define the architectonical style since I am not an specialist. Could you say something about it?. The hospital is located 50 meters from the beach, it is situated among beautiful gardens but it looks dirty in some areas. Anyway, it’s worth.
Malaga offers several museums, everyone knows Malaga Picasso Museum, but If you like modern art, you can visit CAC, Art Contemporary Center, too.
The CAC is located in the heart of the Malaga City, in “Calle Alemania” very close to bus and train stations and Alameda Principal Street, one of the most famous street in Malaga.
The CAC entry is free. The Museum closes on Monday. And offers several art collections.
The Museum services are cafe and book store. The cafe have a terrace where you can enjoy the weather of Malaga, and have a coffe, salad or tapas.
In a previous post we mentioned about the Malaga Cathedral. Well, what follows is a nice night view of the Cathedral main door and the Palacio Arzobispal. It is not a photoshop collage. Both monuments are one in front of the other in a nice plaza called “Plaza del Obispo“. An small corner of the paradise for having a drink or an ice cream rounded by such wonderful art pieces.
The Feria de Malaga finished last sunday. As usual, a fireworks performance took place on Monday eve. Many people were viewing this wonderful spectacle and sadly said goodbye to seven days of fun and fair.
Just a few moments of the fireworks fair goodbye present:
Malaga is offering these days its best touristic attraction. In the pic on the left a view of the main street, CalleLarios, garnished and ready to receive all visitors to the fair. If you wish to share a wine with friends dancing and tasting the famous ‘tapas‘, no doubt, the Feria del Centro is the best place. La feria del Centro is best visited from 14p.m. to 18p.m. Do not expect to find any shop or bank opened after midday.
Malaga is now in Fair. Many foreigners come to visit the crawded city center in the day-fair, also known as “feria del centro” but there is as well a night-fair (Real de la Feria). Tapas, Rebujito, Cartojal, horses, sevillanas, toros… The right place to spend a couple of days dancing, walking around the city and drinking the most popular malaga wines. The best hours to visit the Feria is from 14 p.m. to 18 p.m. but if you prefer to know the night side of this fiesta, do not forget visiting Real de la Feria from midnight, where fair continues until sunrise.
The cathedral of Malaga was built between 1528 and 1764. Located in the center of the City, next to the Alcazaba de Malaga or the Roman Theather.
This monument is called “La Manquita”, (Litlte one armed woman) because one of its tower is not finished. There are two possible reasons for this, the money to complete the tower was used to help in American Revolutionary War or to finish a road in Antequera and Velez Malaga.
The interior has influences of the Renaissance and baroque styles.
Carranque is a nice place to swim outdoor and practise many others sports. It has a 50mts swimming-pool. There’s an indoor swimming-pool as well but is closed in summer months.
Personally, I recommend to attend from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. where most of andalusian are in the “siesta“. You will have nearly all the lanes empty just for you. Do not forget solar protection. You are in the “Costa del Sol“!!!
The Alcazaba de Málaga is the most important historic monument in Málaga. Located in the center of the city was constructed by the Moors in 8 th Century.
Inside of Alcazaba de Málaga you can find beautiful gardens and terraces (patios). The monument offers great views, you can view the whole city from there.
