The Port of Malaga is still a working port, but these days you’re more likely to spot cruise ships and yachts than cargo. The waterfront’s been cleaned up nicely — Muelle Uno is the modern bit, with restaurants, shops, and an art museum (Pompidou Centre)—good spot for a walk, a coffee, or just watching ships come and go. You’re right by the Old Town too, so it's easy to swing by.

Right at the base of the Alcazaba, this is Malaga’s oldest surviving structure — built in the 1st century BC during the reign of Emperor Augustus. It was in use for a few hundred years, then mostly forgotten. When the Moors arrived, they used stones from the theatre to help build the Alcazaba above it. For centuries, it was completely buried. It wasn’t rediscovered until the 1950s, when construction workers stumbled on it by accident. These days, it’s been partly restored and open to the public. You can walk around the site and even catch the occasional open-air performance in summer.

Formby Point is a picturesque stretch of coastline, situated on the Irish Sea, known for its high sand dunes, vast beaches, and diverse ecosystem. The area offers a relaxed setting for leisurely walks, picnics, or simply soaking up the sun.

Beginning at Baidi City, the Three Gorges – comprising the Qutang, Wu, and Xiling gorges – have been described by many poems since ancient times. You can contemplate its natural greatness from two of the most famous scenic spots, the Fengdu Ghost City and the Sibaozhai Pagoda.
