Malaga Shore Excursions

Malaga (pop'n 530,000), is the second city of southern Spain and the largest town on the sunny south coast.

Today, it acts as a gateway to the Costa del Sol, one of Europe's top vacation package destinations.

Few tourists take the time to visit Malaga even though it is a pleasant city which is most famous as the birthplace of Pablo Picasso.

For cruise passengers it is an ideal point from which to take a shore excursion to the extraordinary city of Granada with its magnificent Alhambra palace.

Other excursions are listed below for you to consider but in all honesty the Alhambra is the place you really must visit during your limited time here.

Shore Excursions from Malaga

Alhambra Palace in Granada
Although a number of shore excursions are available from Malaga the most popular one by a long way is the trip to the Alhambra Palace in Granada. Many cruise passengers who have joined us on a private tour to the Alhambra have told us that this day was the highlight of their whole vacation.

Rural Andalucia
This excursion departs from Malaga port and visits the region inland from the coast including Ardales, the magnificent gorge at El Chorro and the town of Antequera or national park of El Torcal.

Marbella, Puerto Banus and Mijas Village
Visit Marbella, the jewel in the crown of the Costa del Sol along with its jet set marina at Puerto Banus. On the way back we'll visit the quaint white village of Mijas high above the Mediterranean.

Ronda
Take a drive up the mountain to the quaint town of Ronda which is one of the most popular tourist destinations from the Costa del Sol

Gibraltar
Visit the British dependency of Gibraltar where you can take a trip to the top of the Rock where you'll see the resident Barbary apes and get splendid views across the Straits of Gibraltar to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

Cadiz Shore Excursions
