The Málaga Experience
See where Pablo Picasso was born
While Spanish artist Pablo Picasso spent the majority of his life between Barcelona and Paris, only Málaga has the claim to fame of being his birthplace. Today you can visit young Picasso's childhood home - now the Picasso's Birthplace Museum - for an up close and personal look at his life and times.
Try the "pescaíto frito"
If you want to eat like the locals, head to any of the numerous beachside "chiringuitos" (beach bars) and order up some "pescaíto frito" (fried fish). For a taste of all that Málaga's Mediterranean shores have to offer, opt for the "fritura malagueña", Málaga's own signature fried seafood platter.
