Malaga, sun-soaked playground on the Costa del Sol, cradles history and modernity in its sandy embrace. This vibrant Spanish city is a cocktail of ancient fortresses atop hills, where the Alcazaba and the ruins of the Gibralfaro castle whisper tales of the past amidst panoramic views. Below, the bustle of life radiates through winding streets, as locals animatedly chat outside bustling tapas bars, their laughter mingling with the aroma of sizzling gambas al ajillo. Here, you can meander through the Picasso Museum, a tribute to the city's son, that brims with creative energy before losing yourself in the art-loving Soho district. But be aware, by the city's sunny disposition, one can also be lulled into less pleasant encounters with tourist traps where paellas and sunbeds are served up at premium prices. Summers can sizzle a little too fiercely, testing the mettle of even the hardiest heat-seekers, and the coastline occasionally swaps the aroma of sea salt for a less welcome whiff from crowded beaches. Nonetheless, Malaga's charm often prevails, offering enchanting little spots where the pace slows, the sea breezes refresh, and the Andalusian spirit dances like the flamenco, passionate and unabashed.
