Malaga is the cultural capital of the Costa del Sol. It offers much to see including the Castle of Gibralfaro, the Alcazaba, the Roman Theatre, the bull ring and Malaga Cathedral. It is a city of over 30 museums headlined by the Picasso Musuem. An open-top bus trip is a good option to see all the cultural delights the city has to offer.
