A duplex penthouse with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an idyllic terrace is located in Malaga's historic centre. What more could you want from a central city spot? Positioned just a few minutes away from the main historic sights, shopping areas and an abundance of bars and restaurants – enjoy the best of Malaga with this home as your base. In a new building with an elevator, this modern penthouse apartment offers ample space for a small family or group of friends in town to balance tourism with relaxation. Take in charming views over the city's rooftops with a glass of Spanish wine in hand, as the secluded terrace area provides a tranquil escape from which to enjoy homemade dinners and aperitifs. Located on the north side of the historical centre, between El Egido Hill and Gibralfaro, the best way to explore the city here is on foot. Soak up the neighbourhood's street art as impressive colourful graffiti decorates the streets with an urban edge. In just five minutes, you'll wind up in the very centre of Malaga, but if you continue walking for just fifteen minutes more, you'll find the sandy shores of La Malagueta Beach – well worth a visit for a more relaxed approach to your day.
