Around an hour outside Málaga, this cliffside path takes you through narrow walkways, deep gorges, and a high suspension bridge at the end. It’s about 8 km one-way and takes a few hours, depending on your pace. It used to be known as dangerous, but it’s now rebuilt and safe, with handrails and a clear path the whole way. You’ll need to book ahead, and there’s a shuttle at the end that takes you back to where you started. The views are what people come for — steep rock faces, bright blue water, and huge open skies.

Set in an old 18th-century palace, this small museum provides visitorws with a decent overview of Malaga’s wine history — especially the sweet fortified wines the region is known for. You’ll see old labels, tools, and learn a bit about traditional production methods. There’s also a tasting at the end, which is probably the main reason to go.

One of Málaga’s liveliest squares, Plaza de la Merced is known for its statue of Picasso sitting on a bench — a nod to the artist who was born just a few steps away. The square has a long history as a public meeting spot, once home to a local market (hence the name Merced, tied to trade). These days, it’s a social hub with cafés, bars, and outdoor tables where people linger late into the evening.

This beautiful garden in the city's central area is a wonderful place to go on a hot summer day. Order a beer at the bar inside and enjoy the outdoor seating.
