More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air‑conditioned van with the Mediterranean wind already nudging your jacket, the city's stone and sea arranged like a meeting of two maps. Málaga’s Alcazaba rises above the harbor—compact courtyards, crenellated walls and views that push your eyes toward the blue. Inside the Picasso Museum, canvases and sketches mark artistic restlessness; the narrow streets of Marbella later open into a sunlit plaza where orange trees drop bright scent into café tables.
