Malaga embark Majesty question

Hi you experience cruisers

We are cruising on Taste of Italy this Thursday 24th and wondered if we are bordered about 11 ish which is what I sort of expect, can we get off and have bit of a time in Malaga as we don't normally see it, as it's normally just a fly in fly out.

Even a walk around the harbour.

Many thanks

Susan

You will have plenty of time to go into Malaga centre - a great city. Try some of the best Tapas you will find anywhere at El Pimpi, El Jardin or Antigua Casa La Guardia - visit the beautiful Cathedral - wander the back streets where there are numerous little shops selling Flamenco dresses and local Silverware - visit the famous Picasso Museum - take bus no. 35 up to the castle for superb views - visit the Citadel (Alcazaba).

The ship docks about 1.5km from the city centre (takes about 30 minutes to walk) but there is a frequent shuttle train from shipside to city centre that costs 3€. Once at the port main gates just cross 2 roads/5 minutes walk and you are in the heart of the old city.

If you want to stay closer to the ship - just walk to the new Muelle Uno development within the port grounds - a good selection of shops and restaurants. Also within the port grounds - just up from the main entrance gates - is the older ferry terminal and in there is an excellent Tapas bar which is somewhere we visit every time we are in Malaga (roughly every month).

You won' t be bored! Hope this helps.

You are welcome Susan. Yes - we live about 40 minutes east of Malaga by Lake Vinuela so regularly visit Malaga. Have a great day and wonderful cruise.
