Málaga in four days
Four area-based itineraries in Málaga with photos, directions and optional indoor visits.

Start this route
Atarazanas Market
Visit during trading hours; the working stalls are part of the experience.
Walking directions
Carmen Thyssen Museum Málaga
Plan a museum visit and combine it with the surrounding streets.

Day 2: Alcazaba and Picasso
Start this route
Málaga Roman Theatre
An archaeological stop beside the Alcazaba that links naturally with the centre.

A square for a break that links the walk with Picasso-related sights.
