Dotted with palm trees and beaches, Malaga is a peaceful Mediterranean port on Spain's famed Costa del Sol. The Moorish fortress Alcazaba, Malaga Cathedral and hilltop Castle of Gibralfaro are among the prominent historical attractions. An expansive bullring, dating to 1874, still hosts fights and its museum displays bullfighting gear and memorabilia. Pablo Picasso was born here in 1881, and several museums house the native son's art, like Casa Natal, his birthplace, or the Picasso Museum, home of 250-plus works. To further explore southern Spain's Andalusia region, shore excursions head to Granada and its Alhambra citadel; Nerja, a coastal retreat boasting caverns; and Ronda, a mountaintop town split by the nearly 400-foot-deep El Tajo Gorge. More than two dozen wineries surround Ronda, as well as plenty of olive, orange, almond and avocado trees.
