Tour Description

When you think about Malaga, what comes to mind? Beaches, sea, and sun? Most likely, you're correct. Yes, it has all of those things for sure, but it also has great history and culture. This incredible offer actually covers admission to no fewer than six of Malaga's top museums. We believe this to be our best-value ticket—don't tell anyone.

The Museo Casa Natal de Picasso is one of the six, and it is obviously devoted to the most well-known son of the city. Furthermore, it's located in the same building as his birthplace!

One of Spain's greatest art museums outside of Madrid is the Museo Carmen Thyssen, where you may find even more artwork
