Málaga
Picasso's home town: a Moorish fortress above the port, tapas bars below, and a city beach a short walk from the centre.
Setenil de las Bodegas: the town built under a rock

In the hills of Cádiz province, the houses of Setenil are built straight into the gorge of the Río Guadalporcún. On its best-known streets the rock forms the roof, so whole rows of homes, bars and cafés sit under a single overhang.

Before you go

- Your passport must have been issued less than 10 years before you arrive, and expire at least 3 months after you plan to leave.
- The EU's Entry/Exit System is in use: on your first trip you'll be asked for fingerprints and a photo at the border. It's free, but allow extra time.
