Visitors will want to tour the city's cultural and historical sights including the modern Picasso Museum; Alcazaba, a fifteenth century Moorish fort with its panoramic rooftop view of Malaga and its port; the La Manquita Cathedral with its mix of Renaissance, Baroque and Neo-classical styles; and Malaga's Castle which resides on top of Monte de Gibralfaro. If holidaying in August, you can catch Milaga's main festival, Fiesta Feria, and enjoy all of the excitement and celebrations. There is also a wonderful Three Kings Festival early in January that appeals to children of all ages.

Located as it is on the Sun Coast of Spain, Milaga's beach attracts many vacationers. Sunning, swimming, wind surfing, jet skiing and parasailing opportunities abound. After an active day at the beach, be assured there is no shortage of places to eat and drink. With its reputation for seafood, the city's greatest claim to fame is its fried fish, acknowledged to be the best in Spain. For the best fish restaurants, head out to the suburbs of Pedregalejo and El Palo.

An active nightlife, especially in the mild evenings from April to October, can be expected in the streets, bars and discos of Milaga until the early hours of the morning. There are two main areas where the city's youth congregate, El Palo, and the old city center where numerous dining and drinking establishments and discos are located.

Hot summers with sunny days that allow sunbathing almost every day from June to September, and mild winters with lots of beautifully clear and sunny days characterize the climate of Milago.
