We Enjoyed Malaga’s White Night
Malaga boasts of being a very cultural city, in fact, there are more than thirty museums that it has, a not inconsiderable amount in proportion to the size of the city. In order for locals and visitors to enjoy the city’s cultural offerings, the City Council prepares the White Night of Malaga every year, about which we want to talk to you today.
What is Malaga’s White Night?
The White Night of Malaga is a cultural festival that takes place one night a year in the city and in which you can enjoy more than two hundred cultural activities for free. It is a way to encourage art, since it was the hometown of one of the most important artists of all time, Pablo Picasso.
The activities that can be enjoyed for free are very varied. They range from street art performances to visits to museums and exhibitions, music and dance performances, etc.
Due to the success of past editions, special activities are scheduled, prepared with this particular night in mind. In addition, they are designed so that all members of the family can enjoy themselves, including the smallest of the house.
An application was released a year ago with the aim of facilitating the enjoyment of the White Night, we are talking about Noctiluca, with which you can easily find any activity or museum you want to visit. You can create alerts for your favorite activities and it has a map that will take you to the chosen place.
What activities are enjoyed in the White Night of Malaga
It is impossible to cite more than two hundred activities, but we are going to highlight some of them that are really worth it. These are:
- Free visits to the main museums in Malaga.
- Dance on stilts.
- Giant puppets.
- Photographic exhibitions.
- Chamber concerts.
- Pop concerts.
- Vindictive exhibitions.
- Night visits to the Alcazaba.
These activities are usually the main ones and are present every year. However, each edition may change some or add new ones that are changing or staying according to success.
Do you dare to spend a holiday on the Costa del Sol and see what the White Night in Malaga is all about? It is a great opportunity to fully enjoy the city.
The main museums of Malaga
In case you pass through Malaga and want to visit some of its museums, either on the White Night or on any other occasion, here are the main ones :
- Picasso museum. It is almost a sin to be in the hometown of one of the most important painters in the world and in history and not know his museum and his house. They are very close to each other and the price, if you can’t see it at the White Night in Malaga, is three euros. Are you going to miss it?
- Contemporary Art Museum. A center with more than 400 pieces donated and that have the purpose of spreading the plastic arts of the 20th and 21st centuries.
- Pompidou. One of the headquarters of the famous original center located in France. There are not many Pompidou centers around the world, and Malaga has been one of those chosen for this. Since it opened in 2015 it has become one of the best museums in the city.
- Interactive Museum of Music. In this center you will find more than a thousand instruments that you can play and look at closely. You may not know many of them, as they come from other countries.
- Automobile and Fashion Museum. A strange but very interesting mix. On the one hand, iconic cars such as Aston Martin or Jaguar and, on the other, haute couture garments from the most renowned fashion designers.
Have you already taken note of everything you want to enjoy on the next White Night in Malaga? Just remember that this cultural event takes place in spring, an ideal time to visit the Costa del Sol.
