The Malaga guide on Tourist Office sets out the things to visit in Málaga as a one-day route on foot that starts at the Mercado de Atarazanas and passes the cathedral, the Museo Picasso Málaga and the Roman Theatre on its way up to the Alcazaba and the Castillo de Gibralfaro, before ending on Muelle Uno and the seafront.
It also picks out museums beyond that route, such as the Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga and the Centre Pompidou Málaga, gathers free sights from Playa de la Malagueta to Calle Marqués de Larios and follows the concerts and events coming up in the city.
