Right on Plaza San Francisco, this apartment puts you at the heart of Málaga's old town, with the Alcazaba a six-minute walk away and the Cathedral reachable in eight minutes on foot. The apartment itself has real visual confidence – geometric wallpaper and a bathroom where graphic design takes centre stage give it a distinctive edge. Balconies in two of the three en-suite bedrooms look out over the square below, so even a slow morning feels well spent. Calle Larios, the Picasso Museum, and the port promenade are all within easy reach on foot.
