Málaga
HA Hoteles
Málaga blends its Phoenician and Roman legacy with modern museums and a vibrant seaside atmosphere. It is a welcoming city that smells of jasmine and sardine skewers, and its people make you feel at home from the very first moment.
At HA Hoteles, we want you to enjoy it from the centre. That is why we are at HA Hotel Trebol, just a few metres from Calle Larios and the Atarazanas Market. And if you are looking for a longer stay or a family experience, our apartments at AT Los Negros and AT Juan de Austria offer you space, comfort and the best location to experience Málaga like a local.
Must-sees
What you cannot miss in Málaga
Calle Larios
The commercial and social heart of Málaga. Strolling along Larios is a ritual: the shops, the architecture, the people. At Christmas, its lights make it one of the most beautiful streets in Spain. From HA Hotel Trebol, you have it just a stone’s throw away.
Atarazanas Market
A feast for the senses. This market, with its spectacular Arab-style façade, is the perfect place to discover local produce: fried fish, fruit, ham and the best olive oil. And if you are feeling adventurous, many stalls have bars where you can eat like royalty.
Picasso Museum Málaga
Picasso said: “No, I have not painted the war, but there is no doubt that it is in the paintings I have painted”. At the museum that bears his name, located in the Palacio de Buenavista, you will discover the essence of the Malaga-born genius. A must-see of art.
Alcazaba and Roman Theatre
Two jewels of Andalusi and Roman Málaga. The Alcazaba, with its courtyards, gardens and fountains, is a haven of peace right in the city centre. At its feet, the Roman Theatre reminds us that this city has been a meeting point of cultures for centuries.
Gibralfaro Castle
Climb to the top to treat yourself to the best panoramic view of Málaga. The walk up to the castle, surrounded by pine trees and with the sea in the background, is worth every step. The views of the port, the bullring and the entire city are the ultimate reward.
Centre Pompidou Málaga
The colourful cube on the waterfront has already become an icon of the city. Centre Pompidou Málaga brings modern and contemporary art to the Costa del Sol with temporary exhibitions and works from the famous Parisian museum’s collection. Art with a sea view.
La Malagueta Beach
The quintessential urban beach. A 15-minute walk from HA Hotel Trebol, it is the perfect plan to unwind. A swim, a sardine skewer at a beach bar and a nap in the sun. That is the way to understand life.
Soho and Calle Trinidad
The more alternative side of Málaga. Soho is filled with street art, galleries and designer bars. And Calle Trinidad, Picasso’s birthplace, retains the flavour of traditional bars where fried anchovies and an ice-cold beer are legendary.
Savour
Málaga is tasted with all five senses
Málaga’s gastronomy is simple, generous and full of flavour. Here, the quality of the produce takes centre stage.
Sardine skewers on the beach
Sardines threaded onto canes and grilled over sand. If there is a flavour that smells like Málaga, it is a freshly cooked espeto on La Malagueta or Pedregalejo.
Pescaíto frito (fried fish)
Anchovies, sole, squid… A plate of fried fish in any bar in the city centre is the perfect plan to share and feel like a local for a day.
Sweets and wines
Borrachuelos (sweet pastries), olive oil cakes and Málaga’s sweet wine are the perfect finishing touch. And if you are more of a vermouth person, they do that brilliantly here too.
