Málaga Cruises
Malaga is a city that is rich in history and culture – located on the shores of the Mediterranean, it is the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, and his childhood spent here is reflected in many of the recurring themes of his paintings, including flamenco and bulls. Known as the olive capital of the world, the Andalusian region accounts for 35% of the olives produced in the EU and are closely monitored by officials from the regional government.
Top Experiences
Picasso Museum
Pablo Picasso is Malaga's most famous son and this dedicated museum – 50 years in the making – houses a wide variety of works, the majority of which have been donated by relatives. Among these works are portraits of Picasso's immediate family.
Alhambra Palace
One of the most beautiful fortified palace complexes in the world, the Alhambra sprawls across its forested hilltop like – as Moorish poets described it – 'a pearl set in emeralds.' Complementing the showpiece palaces are a set of ravishing gardens.
Olive Oil
The southern Spanish region of Andalusia is the biggest producer of olive oil in the world. It’s an integral part of the cuisine, as well as the economy. The five types of olive used in production are Picual, Hojiblanca, Lechin, Verdial and Picudo.
