As the gateway to the Costa del Sol, Málaga has become one of Spain's cultural hubs, brimming with places to explore, from the attention-grabbing Pompidou Centre and the popular Picasso Museum to the street-art-cloaked alleys of its edgy Soho district. The hallmarks of Málaga's rich past are scattered throughout the cobbled streets of the old town, its mountainside Roman amphitheatre and the Moorish citadels of Alcazaba and Gibralfaro.

As well as being one of the most popular luxury destinations in Europe, Marbella is home to traditional Andalusian architecture, flower-covered balconies, and narrow pebbled streets where Spaniards and international visitors mingle alfresco during dinnertime. From Plaza de los Naranjos to the Alcazaba or the castle, walking around Marbella’s Old Quarter is the perfect way to get familiar with Andalusian traditions and rich culture.

Also known as the gem of Marbella, Puerto Banús is a small white town bordered by sea and mountains, perfect for spending a day with the family walking under the Andalusian sun or sailing on a catamaran. Between the haute couture boutiques and the yachts docked in the marina, Puerto Banús showcases some details of history like a Spanish walk of fame, the victory sculpture, and the seafront lighthouse.
