Málaga, everything within walking distance
Loft2Stay is just a few minutes' walk from the historic center of Málaga. So you don't need a car to discover this vibrant city. But there is also the option to rent a garage nearby, about a 1-minute walk away. Just be aware that it's a tight garage, so don't rent a large car.
Stroll through the cozy shopping street Calle Marqués de Larios, visit the impressive Málaga Cathedral, walk to the Moorish fort Alcazaba or enjoy the view from Castillo de Gibralfaro.
Art lovers can indulge in the Picasso Museum, Pablo Picasso's birthplace, the Museo Carmen Thyssen or the colorful Centre Pompidou Málaga.
Do you want to escape the hustle and bustle for a while? Then the beautiful botanical gardens Jardín Botánico La Concepción are definitely worth a visit.
The modern port Muelle Uno is also a wonderful place to walk, shop or enjoy a drink with a view of luxury yachts and cruise ships.
