Malaga’s coastline runs right along the city, so you don’t need to go far for a swim. The main stretch starts near the port along the Paseo de Pablo Ruiz Picasso. La Malagueta is the most central beach — about 10 minutes from the Old Town — with dark sand, showers, toilets, and sunbeds for hire. You’ll spot the big Malagueta sign where everyone stops for photos. The beach is lined with chiringuitos, casual seafood spots where you can try grilled sardines (espetos) cooked over open fire. La Caleta, just a bit further east, is quieter but has the same setup — clean, calm water, and easy access.

The Bahrain World Trade Center is one of the country’s most recognisable landmarks and a defining feature of its skyline. The complex is open to the public, where you can admire its striking architecture, explore the popular MODA Mall, or dine in its restaurants. The twin towers are connected by three skybridges, each fitted with a wind turbine, an innovative feature that harnesses the strong Gulf winds. On breezy days, you can often see them turning. Frequently featured on postcards and travel guides, this building has become a modern symbol of Bahrain.

Alghero is known for its red coral, and here at the small Coral Museum you can watch an exhibition on the history of the old tradition where they harvest these water plants. The corals are then used for making unique jewellery, that you can find everywhere on the island.
