# Málaga in 2 days: day by day

> Two days in Málaga combine city and mountains. Day one covers the old town: the Alcazaba fortress and Roman theatre, the La Manquita cathedral and the Picasso Museum, with the waterfront in the evening. Day two is a trip to Ronda, two hours away by bus: the Puente Nuevo over a 120-metre gorge, the white lanes of the old town and viewpoints over the valley.

## How the two days work

Day one is the old town on foot: the Alcazaba in the morning, the cathedral and Picasso Museum by day, then Muelle Uno and La Malagueta beach in the evening.

Day two starts early, as the bus or train to Ronda takes about two hours. Begin with the Puente Nuevo and the old town of La Ciudad, walk down the path to the viewpoint below the bridge, then explore the clifftop gardens after lunch. Take an evening bus back.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, add something nearby, and the timings update.

## Where to eat

In Málaga, have lunch at the Atarazanas market and espetos on the beach in the evening. In Ronda, terrace restaurants above the gorge cost more but the view is worth it; the squares of the newer town are simpler and cheaper.

Ronda's mountain cooking is hearty: stews, roasts, local cheese and bread with wines from nearby wineries. Take water and a snack for the two-hour ride back.

## Tips for two days

Book the Alcazaba and Picasso Museum online, and your Ronda bus ahead, especially at weekends. Wear comfortable shoes, as both the Alcazaba and Ronda have steep cobbled climbs.

Ronda evenings are noticeably cooler than Málaga, so pack a light layer. If you can, stay the night: once the tour coaches leave, the town grows quiet and the bridge is floodlit.

## If you have more time

With a third day, visit [Nerja](https://yesgo.io/spain/malaga/nerja) and its caves and coves, or walk the [Caminito del Rey](https://yesgo.io/spain/malaga/caminito-del-rey) above the gorge.

## Tips
