10 Things to do in Malaga, Hotel del Pintor
1. Malaga City of Museums
The museums of Malaga have made the city one of the most fascinating and attractive cities in Spain and that is that the capital of the Costa del Sol is becoming increasingly consolidated as a cultural destination of Andalusia.
Museums, exhibition halls, artistic manifestations in the streets ... the hometown of Picasso opens its doors to art, music and literature with cultural centers such as the Picasso museum, the Thyssen museum or the Pompidou museum.
2. Walk the Caminito del Rey
When was the last time you did something for the first time? El Caminito del Rey is one of those experiences that you never regret, a journey not too long but intense that makes you reconnect with the meaning of life.
In the heart of Malaga between Álora, Antequera and Ardales, we find an imposing canyon that the Guadalhorce River itself was excavating: The Gaitanes Gorge, which gives its name to the Natural Park.
There is El Caminito del Rey , as a tourist attraction and historical vestige that unites two periods and two reservoirs. Two times because it was inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII in 1921 and continues to be traveled today. Two reservoirs because the reason for its construction was the maintenance of the canal built to communicate the northern reservoirs with that of El Chorro.
The path or walkways extends about 3km, although the accesses include almost 5, between the steep walls of the canyon, almost forming part of the rock and that includes sections in which the adrenaline will take hold of you: narrows of just 1m or over a bridge over 100m over the river.
