Soho Málaga. Commissioned murals by international street artists cover the walls of a formerly neglected grid between Alameda Principal and the port. A self-guided walk takes about an hour, and the district's independent galleries and coffee bars have followed the artwork in. Best in the late-afternoon light before the sun drops behind the buildings.

Museo Carmen Thyssen. A restored sixteenth-century palace in the old town holds nineteenth-century Spanish painting, heavy on Andalusian scenes and costumbrista detail, which explains a great deal about how the region has pictured itself. Rooms are small, the courtyard café is good, and ninety minutes is comfortable. Tickets on Tiqets →

Mercado Central de Atarazanas. A Moorish shipyard gate survives as the entrance to a nineteenth-century iron market hall with an enormous stained-glass window at one end. Fish, ham and produce stalls trade in the morning; the bars along the sides serve from the counters. It closes early afternoon, so go before lunch.

Caminito del Rey. A boardwalk pinned to a gorge wall an hour north of Málaga runs three kilometres above the Guadalhorce river. Tickets are timed and sell out weeks ahead, walking is one-way with a shuttle bus back, and the whole trip takes most of a day. October weather suits it well.
