10) Quad-biking... Be prepared for mud.... and lots of it! Quad bike outings will certainly take you off the beaten track but it's all in good fun and beginners are most welcome. For details see check out Adventuresportsholidays.com
9) Ancient Alcazaba... This is arguably the most important historic monument in Malaga and is definitely worth a look. The fortress was first built in the 8th century and gives fantastic views of the city. Don't forget your camera.
8) The Picasso Museum... Any visit to Malaga would not be complete without a look inside the former home of Spanish artist Picasso at Plaza de la Merced. Here you can find original works of many celebrated artists including Picasso.
7) 'The Rock'... A couple of hours drive down the coast will take you to Gibraltar which is still British territory. A word of caution though, it may be British territory but they still drive on the right-hand side!
6) Check out a bullfight... It's certainly not for the faint hearted but Malaga is in the epicentre of bullfighting country. Bullfights usually take place on weekends at the prominent 'Malagueta Bullring' in the city centre. The season runs from April-September.
5) Help me, Ronda... The idyllic town of Ronda can be found in the mountains in the northwest of the province of Malaga. If you enjoy picture postcard views and don't suffer from vertigo, then this place is certainly worth a trip out to. And possibly the best thing, it's difficult to find better tapas than they serve in Ronda.
4) Putt yourself on course... Malaga is among the best places in Europe to play golf. You'll find over 50 courses in the area ranging from courses such as Valderama and San Roque where major tournaments are often played to less famous courses where you can pick up the basics. Check out Golfmalaga.com for more info.
3) The 'millionaires playground'... If you want to sample the lifestyle of the rich and famous then head down to swanky Puerto Banus. The harbour views are as spectacular as the lavish yachts moored in front of the celebrity-styled cafes and bars.
2) The Caves of Nerja... 4 km's east of Nerja you'll discover one of Europe's finest cave structures. Incredibly, this ancient geological wonder was only discovered fifty years ago when a group of small boys were playing nearby. You can find them under the slopes of the Sierra Almijara Mountains
1) Malaga from above (well, not for too long!)... Skydiving is the ultimate adrenaline rush and you can enjoy Malaga's fantastic mountains and beaches from 15,000 feet with a tandem skydive. For more information visit Skydivespain.com. Be sure to hold on tight!
