Málaga needs 2 days: the historic center with Picasso's birthplace and the Picasso Museum on one, and Gibralfaro Castle plus a beach afternoon on the other. May-June avoids the heat and the July-August crowds, when the city fills with visitors from northern Europe. Prices aren't as low as a decade ago — Málaga has become one of Andalusia's pricier cities amid a digital-nomad boom. Its shift from a Costa del Sol gateway town to a cultural capital, with over 30 museums, is what sets it apart today.
