Centro Pompidou de Málaga - Promenade lined with shops

Interesting and quirky. Lots of very weird art…read more You should visit. €zero on Sunday afternoon

Originally, I wasn't going to visit Pompidou, but it was Sunday and the lesser known museums that…read moreI'd planned on visiting were closed and Pompidou was nearby as with most of the museums. At the time of my visit, there was a choice of the permanent exhibit (7€, seniors 65+ 4€) and for an added fee you could view the temporary exhibit; just the permanent please. With admission, you get an easy-to-use audio guide to explain many, but not all the works that have the theme of time. Otherwise, most of the exhibits have cards that explain the art. For example, one section was about leisure time, another was about the aged which was thought provoking (elderly are less productive, more isolated). In general, the exhibits had a message (ie. breaking gender boundaries or how leisure time provided rest or promoted creativity) that required me to slow down and think about how time applies to me. Thinking the Pompidou had paintings from Picasso and Miró, I was surprised to find only one sculpture from Picasso, two paintings by Miró, and one painting by Matisse. While there was an exhibit where ground spices were hanging from pantyhose-like material and the audio guide said it invites you to smell the spices, I discovered the "invite" was rhetorical when security told me I was too close to the exhibit.

Quality/Quantity - A must visit. A highlight for Malaga, Spain. See all my pictures, well I think I…read moream missing like 100 pictures... Also, see my Yelp review for Alcazaba for more pictures. Bring your walking shoes. A fun historic visit. Ambiance - Decent size location. Historic and some beautiful views. Street vendors as you walk up to the location. Street performers, but he was actually pretty good, we tipped. Clean restrooms, but possible long lines. We decided to walk up, but you can take public transportation, ride share, etc. Cafe, bar available. Fairly busy. Kid, school tour friendly. Seasonal hours: 9am to 10pm daily during the Summer. Winter hours: 9am to 6pm daily. Cut and pasted from their website: Total area: 21,310 m² (including the Coracha and the Barbican). Walls: 1,310 meters in perimeter. Inner enclosure: 12,630 m² enclosed by 733 meters of wall, with 30 sections and 8 towers, most of them solid. Service - Self service, including the self service kiosk to pay. Price - 7 Euros, $8 US per person. Discounted when you buy the ticket for both places. 10 Euros, $11.50 US. And more importantly, you get to cut the line!! But not well signed. Glad we asked. Guided tours available for $$; see their website. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

Best 360 views of Malaga! It is ~20-minute walk uphill without pausing so do wear comfortable…read moreshoes, bring water, and take caution if you have mobility concerns. The walk up to the castle offers very nice views of the city. The paid portion gives entry into the walled complex at the top and is ~3€. The complex itself is mostly just the walls, which you can walk around all sides of and get stunning views of the city, harbor/sea, and mountains. The grounds contain a few information cards. One terrace had been turned into a cafe, so there really isn't much beyond completing the wall walk. Some of the views are identical to the Alcazaba too (at least on the sea-facing side and old town), so definitely go there if you have mobility concerns and are unable to hike this far up. Got very pleasant weather when I went so I lucked out. Worth a visit!
