Two sun-soaked cities that keep drawing visitors
Málaga smells of art and tapas. It is the city where Picasso was born, and life flows between museums, promenades, and narrow, bustling streets. Families stroll along the waterfront, while cafés fill with the hum of conversation and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Flamenco, alive in local tablaos and small, intimate bars, sets the rhythm of Andalusia – in every stamp of a foot, in every clap, you can feel the pulse of southern Spain. This is a city of history and everyday life, full of galleries, music, and emotions that do not fade even after dark. Málaga is the heart of the Costa del Sol – friendly, warm, open, with the subtle elegance of the south that makes you want to return. Best to start with a walk through the historic center, visit the Picasso Museum, and end the evening at a tablao on Calle Larios to experience authentic flamenco.
Marbella is a resort that has long attracted footballers, families hoping for a touch of southern France, and those for whom the sparkle of boats in the harbor, the clink of champagne glasses, and caviar on pearl spoons are an inseparable part of the scenery. Here, time moves slowly, as if between one glass of champagne and the next. In the old town, you can get lost in flower-filled alleys, discovering hidden patios and small, family-run eateries. Moments later, you find yourself in Puerto Banús, where the shimmer of boats, boutiques, and nightclubs creates a completely different, thrilling rhythm. Marbella is constantly evolving – new apartments, restaurants, galleries, reasons to return multiply like sunlight on the sea. Start with a stroll through the old town, taste tapas in a cozy local spot, then wander along the marina to watch Marbella’s nightlife come alive. Here, you don’t need to do anything. Just being here is enough. Southern Spain will take care of the rest.
