What to do and see in Malaga, Andalucia: The Best Museums
Malaga is one of the oldest cities in the world, founded in the 8th century by the Phoenicians. Today, art is everywhere-- you can experience exhibits dedicated to glass and crystal, classic cars, contemporary installations, and, of course, the works of Picasso, who was born here. Wander past banana trees and beautiful fountains as you walk through Paseo del Parque, then hit the old city to quench your thirst at a Spanish tavern.

We were amazed at the collection and charmed by this unique place. The aristocratic owner of the house gives the tour. He's been developing the collection since he was 9 years old. His passion and affection for his beautiful collection is infectious. We were encouraged to get up close things to really look and at times even touch! Furniture and paintings of his ancestors complement the collection. Thank goodness he saved all these delicate objects from oblivion. I would recommend this tour for adults and young adults.

This Moorish castle in the centre of Malaga is a must see for any visitor - not only offering unparalleled views over the port, cathedral, park and city but stretching over to the mountains behind. Breathtaking rooms and decoration, the usual fantastic Mozarabic flowing water features complement the week preserved and restored structures - what an elegant and massive fortress. There’s a nice little bar half way up the route and best of all it costs little more than £2 less for concessions.

The same complex - a converted tobacco factory - that houses the Russian Museum also contains this unique place. It is a combination of automobile history - with emphasis on its beginnings and the classic cars - with the female fashion of the times as well as with history, highlighting the famous people who owned or drove several of the exhibits. Very much worth a visit, even for those who are not fans of cars or lovers of fashion.
