always nice to see a catherdral from the inside. This one is quit dark, but pretty nice. As we wanted to light a candle for our loved ones, we could only light a candle (electric candle) in a machine. This was a bit of a disapointment, and shows how touristic this attraction is. More

Firstly, I think I've been spoilt by visiting Seville and Toledo cathedrals and secondly, I'm not religious at all, so I was not blown away with Malaga cathedral. I can still appreciate the carving in the woodwork, and the stained glass windows, and the majesty of the pillars and high ceiling. But this cathedral lacks the magnificence of others that... More

The cathedral in Malaga is splendid! It does cost 5 euros to enter, but the inside is well worth seeing. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, and there is so much to look at and admire. There are many paintings, sculptures, stained glass windows, and a very grand and impressive pipe organ. As it was pouring rain outside, we considered... More

I didn't see inside the building because I was tired but I enjoyed sitting in the parc next to the tower and watching the beautifull structure. My husband and daughter went inside while I was refreshing myself sitting under the shadow of orange trees. More
