This site will tell you all you need to know about Semana Santa in the major cities of Andalucia.

I've been looking at the guide to Malaga and it is great. You can see animated maps of the brotherhood routes by day and times and excellent descriptions of where they go and what happens. One of the best travel sites I've seen.

The Alcazaba which is undoubtedly, the most important military fortification remaining from the Hispanic-Arabic period. This malaguenian fortress of Bobastro was built on the hillside of the Gibralfaro mountain (Yabal-Faruk, meaning mountain of the lighthouse) from where it is possible to watch the African coast. The Arabic historian Maqqari, assured that Badis el Ziri, king of Grenada, ordered its construction between the years 1057 and 1063, being the inside palaces remade by the following Nazaries kings copying the style of the Grenada Alhambra.

Fantastic vegetarian restaurant with lots of tofu, soya and wholefoods. A welcome relief after eating nothing but eggs in the mountains - it took us half an hour to decide what we wanted there was so much choice.

A smart, centrally located hotel within the budget of most travellers. Situated opposite Malaga's bustling fish, fruit and veg market, the Atarazanas is in the heart of the city, walking distance to the Picasso museum, the Alcazaba and Malaga's many fine tapas bars. The hotel has been recently refurbished, with a bar, good restaurant and clean, modern, en-suite rooms. I went in October 2005 and a double room cost £34, via an online hotel discount company.

The hotel is opposite the main Mercado, just five minutes walk from Malaga train station (not the RENFE).

Take advantage of, in many cases half price tee times from June to September as its low season for the many golf courses in Malaga. The courses are empty - just make sure you take a hat and plenty of water. Check out this URL for more information on courses in the area.

Opened last year this houses an excellent collection of Picasso's work from the whole of his career. Mainly composed of items loaned or donated by members of his family. The building itself is lovely and has architectural remains of a roman/visigothic palace in the basement.

Restaurant. In the beach suburb of Palo, at the Eastern end of the city (bus from the Alameda goes there)- great fresh fish, no menu. They cook what's good that day and the waiters bring it out on trays and shout out what it is. If you fancy it, stick your hand up or just ask for a look. Helps to know your Spanish fish names.

On the beach front at Palo.

This hotel in Malaga city centre is a great place to stay. It has a pool on the roof with fantastic views and a lovely breeze. I would definitely recommend it.
