Vacation in Malaga
Stay in the Heart of Costa del Sol
With its rich cultural heritage, stunning architecture, and Mediterranean location, Malaga is one of the most popular destinations for travelers in the Andalusia region of Spain. Located at the heart of Costa del Sol, Malaga is very much a cosmopolitan city, but it is also a functional seaport. This unique combination gives the city an eclectic flair that is evident in the wide array of festivals and celebrations held year-round. If you are planning to holiday in this exciting city, there are many accommodation options ranging from vacation property rentals, Malaga timeshares, luxury villas, as well as traditional hotel and resort lodgings.
The Birthplace of Picasso and Beyond
There are many attractions conveniently located within the city of Malaga, so you'll never be bored if you decide to vacation here. Visit the Malaga Bullfighting Ring, built in 1874. With a total capacity of around 14,000 people, it's an unforgettable experience. And if you're staying in one of Marriott's Playa Andaluza timeshare villas, be sure to walk to nearby Calle Larios, one of Malaga's main streets, and peruse the unique shops, cafes, and restaurants.
In 2003, the city opened the doors of the Museo Picasso Málaga, a 89,350 square-foot complex featuring over 200 paintings, drawings, sculptures, and other works by Malaga's most famous former resident, internationally renowned artist Pablo Picasso. An innovator in both style and technique, Picasso forever altered the landscape of modern art, and his upbringing in the Andalusia region greatly influenced his life and success.
Just outside the city, you'll discover La Alcazaba, an 11th century military fortress and one of Spain's most important examples of Moorish architecture. For lovers of architecture, La Alcazaba is a real treat, because in addition to containing three palaces, manicured gardens, and ornate sculpted fountains, the fortress is just next door to both Gibralfaro Castle and the remains of an open-air Roman theater.
If you want to plan an exciting day trip, Seville and Granada are both easily accessible by train, bus, or car. Or spend a day at Tivolo World, a Spanish theme park with over 30 rides and attractions suitable for all ages. Catch live performances including Wild West shows, traditional Andalusian flamenco dancing, live music, ballet, and shows catered specifically to children. Here you'll also find a large selection of restaurants offering fare from American to Italian to Russian.
Whether you want to return to Malaga every year and are considering purchasing a vacation property here, or you're simply planning a one-time trip to one of the most exciting cities in Costa del Sol, there are many options for your accommodations ranging from resort access with RCI Points, to modest hotel and motel rooms, to villa and apartment rentals.
