Malaga, Spain
Malaga is Andalusia's coastal gem, compact enough to explore entirely on foot. The old town radiates from the pedestrianized Calle Larios, lined with elegant 19th-century buildings. From there you can climb to the Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress with sweeping sea views, or continue up to Castillo de Gibralfaro for a panorama of the bullring, port, and Mediterranean. The Picasso Museum occupies a Renaissance palace, and the Centre Pompidou Malaga brought Paris to the waterfront in a rainbow-colored cube. The Soho neighborhood has become an open-air street art gallery, while the Atarazanas market is the best place to sample local produce and freshly fried fish.

The climb to Gibralfaro castle is steep but rewarding — go early morning to beat the heat and have the panoramic views largely to yourself.
Year-round walking is possible thanks to the mild Mediterranean climate, but April through June and September through November are most comfortable.
