Picasso's Balcony

Picasso's Balcony: Andalusia

Nothing says ‘la dolce vita’ quite like this gorgeous home we found tucked away behind Calle Alcazabilla, one of the most well-known streets in Málaga. Whether you’re here to sightsee or simply escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you can’t do much better than this centrally located apartment, situated within easy reach of all the city’s major attractions. Soak up gorgeous views from the roof of Málaga Cathedral, put your art appraising skills to the test at the Picasso Museum, or sit back and relax at Malagueta Beach. Whatever your day has in store, this place has got you covered.

When you’ve had your fill of being out and about, you’ll come home to a stunning apartment steeped in Malagan charm. Interior design fans will love the furniture choices here, not to mention the hydraulic mosaic flooring, an original design feature protected by the city’s Heritage Institution. Beat the heat with a glass of tinto de verano in the air-conditioned living room or step out onto one of the balconies – there’s a grand total of four to choose from here – and watch the sun go down as you tuck into a tapas dish or two. Bliss.
