In the old city centre, Centro Historico, there are museums to visit around every street corner. One of the city's most famous is the Picasso Museum, where you can view over 280 works by the world-famous painter of the same name, who also happens to have been born in Malaga. Another of Malaga's famous sons is actor Antonio Banderas, known to many as Zorro. Although he now lives in the US, if you are lucky you may see him wandering around the town. 

Over 1,000 years of Malaga's history can be easily found all over the city. Right next to the city centre you will find the Moorish fortresses of Gibralfaro and Alcazaba, the latter of which is over 1000 years old and is considered to be one of the best-preserved Moorish fortresses in Andalusia.
