Hoping to be Europe's Capital of Culture in 2016, Malaga is well-known for its sandy, sun-drenched beaches and vibrant nightlife. Bodega bars, dance clubs and traditional Andalusian restaurants provide a great selection of choices each night. During the day, you can take a trip to Gibralfaro Castle and the Alcazabilla. Art is a big deal in this city too, and rightly so considering one of Malaga's most notable citizens was the world-renowned artist Pablo Picasso. Andalusia's second largest city, Malaga is home to almost 600,000 people.
