Where it is

Blossom
Citorah says The chef, Emi Schobert, is from Buenos Aires, and Michelin describes the cooking as contemporary, with South American touches. There are two tasting menus: Esencia, at €140 a head (€75 with wine pairing), and Confluencia, at €190 (€95 pairing). Allow about three hours.
The catch Blossom recommends smart casual dress, and doesn’t recommend bringing children.
Citorah PickMuseum
Museo de Málaga
Citorah says The Museo de Málaga fills the Palacio de la Aduana, the late-18th-century customs house on Plaza Aduana, and opened there on 12 December 2016. It has two sections, fine arts and archaeology, with more than 15,000 pieces between them. The archaeology section’s core comes from the Alcazaba’s excavations, including glazed Hispano-Muslim ceramics, and from the old Museo Loringiano, the collection the Marquises of Casa-Loring built up after a find in Málaga in 1851. For EU citizens, it’s the best free hour in the city.

Citorah says The Centre Pompidou Málaga is in the Cube (El Cubo) on the port, between Docks 1 and 2 at Muelle Uno (Pasaje Doctor Carrillo Casaux s/n). It opened on 28 March 2015 as the Paris institution’s first outpost abroad, and in 2025, at ten years old, renewed its commitment to the city for ten more.
