Malaga, known as the "capital of the Costa del Sol", runs the risk of being typecast as a purely seaside resort. But Malaga is much more: it is history, nature, gastronomy and, of course, culture at the highest international level.
More and more visitors are left captivated by the many attributes of this beautiful city. From the Citadel and its Arab remains, the Roman amphitheater at his feet, its museums, its tapas route, his contagious joy in the streets.
There is sun and good weather throughout the year, so you can visit at any time. Much more if it is on special dates (Carnival, Easter, the fair in August, when it gets cold in Northern Europe).
Hotel Ibis Malaga Avenida Velazquez
Because I know the service of the Ibis hotels by having stayed in them in Girona, in The Hague and on a couple of occasions in one of those offered in Madrid, I decided this would be ideal for me.
Also, I chose the one that is in the Avenida Velazquez, one of the entrances to the city and the closest to Malaga airport. This is the closest to the Heat , the Automobile Museum and the recently opened Russian Museum. It is also located within walking distance of Congress Center so it is ideal for those who come to participate in meetings; direct access to the shopping area for those who come to Malaga for leisure.
And of course, because being 10 minutes from Pablo Picasso International Airport, it is the perfect alternative for those in connection or who have to take a very early flight or very late (in addition to a minimum fee you have the option of a late checkout until departure time of your flight).
La Térmica
La Térmica is a center of contemporary cultural creation and production, a nursery of talent and a meeting point for artists. It's a great space gained to history where they work and expose all representations of art. A space for creation, learning and entertainment spaces featuring unique approach where the most varied art forms, enjoy live music, shows, conferences and a wide range of activities covering all areas of culture.
The building of la Termica construction began in 1906 in order to house the House of Mercy but even before opening its doors, it suffered many changes to its structure and purpose. They are over 100 years of history in a building that has managed to be recycled and given new life without losing the charm of its tiled corridors and high windows.
Malaga Car Museum
Automobile Museum
With five years of existence this museum has gained an important place in the cultural offer of Málaga. There you can take a tour through the history of the various means of mechanized transport. With truly amazing painting copies from the beginning to current trends: great classic cars from the late nineteenth century to current examples of tuning of ancient specimens.
In this space there is more, since there is also a collection that reflects the fashion at different times, meeting rooms, banquets and exhibitions.

This building complex has a long history in Malaga and which hosted for decades the tobacco factory so it is popularly known as La Tabacalera.
