The locals gave the nickname ‘La Manquita’. Adjoining the Cathedral you will find the Iglesia del Sagrano which was built on the site of a mosque in the 15th century. There is a lovely square in front of the Cathedral with pavement cafes from where you can take in the vistas of this magnificent building.

It is actually the best preserved fortress is Spain and it is a must-see attraction when you are in Malaga. Arabic bathsNo better way to relax than to spend a day at the Arabic baths right in the centre of Malaga. You can use the dry heat or the wet steam rooms and then cool off in one of the pools. They also offer massage treatments if you really want to spoil yourself. The Arabic baths are more than just a hammam thanks to its gorgeous deco and architecture. Castillo de GibralfaroThe fortress of Gibralfaro is the other fortress overlooking Malaga and the port next to La Alcazaba. This iconic building was built in the 10th century and extended by a castle in the 14th. You can buy a ticket that covers the entry for both fortresses but it is important to know that you can’t walk between the two. However there is a regular bus running between the 2 buildings.
