If you like a bit of culture, then this home’s location in Málaga’s Centro Histórico is spot-on. You’ll find the Carmen Thyssen Museum and the Picasso Museum nearby, and the Catedral de Málaga, with its Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles, is also within walking distance. With private balconies (quite small, mind) and views of la Plaza de la Constitución, this pad is ideal for enjoying a bit of Malaga’s sun. Inside, it’s decorated in neutral tones, and the main bedroom opens out onto a compact balcony too. Just make sure to pack earplugs – the central locale means noise is to be expected.
