From outdoor water sports to museum hopping, Malaga boasts a wide array of activities suitable for backpackers, families and couples. The seafront promenade of La Malagueta is, without a doubt, the social epicenter of local life. Trendy bars, nice beaches, galleries, souvenir shops, cultural happenings... you can find everything you need to have a fun day along this beautiful port. For a typical lunch in a ‘chiringuito’ bar on the beach with some fresh fried fish, travelers are advised to head to El Palo neighborhood. This laid-back area is a favorite among locals and water-sports lovers. The Mercado Central de Atarazanas is also a very good place to start your discovery of Andalucian food and local sweet wines. Of course, visitors can’t leave Malaga without spending some time in some of the noteworthy museums in the city. Museo Picasso is of particular interest for those who wish to see the most personal side of this world-renowned genius.
