"I've heard of Malaga, but where is it?"

Malaga, a port city in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, is full of charm, such as the blue sea, the white town, delicious food, and Picasso's hometown✨
This time, we will introduce a model plan that allows you to enjoy Malaga efficiently and thoroughly in one day!
[9:00] Start walking around the city at Malaga Cathedral, where you can feel the history⛪
First, go to "Malaga Cathedral (Catedral de Málaga)", the center of the old town.
The beautiful exterior and the majesty of the interior, which combines Spanish Baroque architecture and Renaissance style, are a must-see!
🎫 Admission fee: Approximately €8 (Tickets with rooftop access are also available)
💡 There are few people in the morning, so it's easy to take photos♪
[10:30] Enjoy an artistic moment at the Picasso Museum🎨
Malaga is the birthplace of Pablo Picasso! The Picasso Museum (Museo Picasso Málaga) exhibits a wide range of works from his early period to his later years, and even if you are not familiar with art, you can enjoy it.

⏱ Duration: about 1 hour
🎫 Admission fee: from €12 (recommended with audio guide)
