More information
Malaga
Malaga, the birthplace of Pablo Picasso and the entryway to the Costa del Sol, is a busy, occasionally chaotic city of 550,000 people. For those who choose not to spend their entire time on the coast's renowned beaches and the surrounding bars, there are an incredible number of museums and monuments, such as the Alcazaba fort from the 11th century and the Museu Picasso Malaga. Taverns and bistros are bustling throughout the ancient city. One can enjoy a pleasant stroll past banana trees and fountains on the expansive Paseo del Parque.

Day 1: Overnight Flight
Get ready for a true taste of southern Spain, from the sparkling blue waters of Costa del Sol to the chic avenues of Madrid. Your tour begins with an overnight flight.
Day 2: Costa del Sol
Welcome to Málaga, one of the oldest cities in Europe, known for its sunny, Andalusian lifestyle and for being the birthplace of artist Pablo Picasso. Settle into your new surroundings and start enjoying the town of Fuengirola. With no scheduled sightseeing today, spend the day as you wish, exploring the city independently. Depending on your flight arrival time, join your Tour Manager and fellow travellers for a welcome reception at your hotel this evening.
Day 3: Costa del Sol
Travel to Ronda! Like many of the Andalusian white villages, it has deep ties to the Arab population that once ruled the region. Walk the Old Town and see its 18th-century Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) over the El Tajo gorge. Then it’s your choice between visiting the Arab Baths archaeological site with your local guide -OR- delving into bullfighting’s fixture in Spanish culture with an audio-guided visit to the bullring. In Fuengirola this evening, gather for dinner at a local restaurant.
Day 4: Costa del Sol
Journey to romantic Marbella today and enjoy a walking tour of the city’s winding cobblestone streets before spending some free time exploring Marbella’s charming shops, cafés, and galleries on your own. Afterward, return to your hotel and spend the rest of the day at leisure, perhaps relaxing on the beach just a short walk from your hotel, or perhaps you’ll join an optional tour to Mijas, one of Andalusia’s most famous white villages.
Day 5: Costa del Sol
Discover the port city of Málaga with a local guide. Meet a local from the Sepulcro Brotherhood to learn about the importance of the religious brotherhoods to the local culture. Let Málaga’s winding old town streets and historic Roman Theatre transport you back in time. Engage in conversation while being welcomed into a local’s home for lunch. Top off your day in Málaga with some free time to explore on your own, perhaps to do some shopping or even visit the Picasso Museum.* Return to Fuengirola, where the sunset beckons a relaxing ending to the day.
