In addition, just a few meters away, in Calle Alcazabilla you will find the impressive Roman Theatre and the Alcazaba of Malaga, two of the best known monuments and most photographed in the historic centre.

If, after a morning of sightseeing on the streets of the city, you wonder where to eat in Malaga, we recommend you visit one of the restaurants of the Premium Group.
