Pizarra is a small, authentic Spanish village located about half an hour inland
from Malaga. The village was left unsettled until the Christian era. This is due
to the fact that a large rock threatened to crash down on the village. It was
blown up by the authorities in 1988 when it began to show signs of cracking. Pizarra is a typical Spanish pueblo and remains largely unaffected by tourism
but it does have an astonishing amount of nightlife activities for such a small
village.
Major Tourist Attractions
Pizarra has its own Municipal Museum which is used to showcase the Roman and
Moorish artefacts that have been found. An American painter called Gino
Hollander used to reside in the town and left the collection to the villagers
when he returned to America. Hikers, walkers and mountain bikers will love the
hilly and challenging terrain that surrounds the village. Nearby Carratraca is
home to an ancient Roman spa, which supposedly has healing properties. A short
journey to Malaga means visitors can enjoy a trip to the Picasso Museum, a Roman
amphitheatre, several ornate churches and a bullfighting ring. Once past Malaga,
visitors can experience Tivoli world in
Arroyo de la Miel. This is a theme park
that the children will enjoy as it offers over 30 attractions and rides.
Shopping Opportunities
Pizarra offers limited shopping opportunities for the serious shopper. It does
have an array of interesting shops where you can purchase goods such as
clothing, shoes, jewellery, local crafts and souvenirs. Malaga is a haven for
shoppers and you will find an El Cortes Ingles department store and the upmarket
shopping precinct known as Marques de Larios. There are many fashionable
boutiques and expensive clothing outlets to be found here. You can also purchase
watches, perfume, fine art and jewellery.
Eating Out and Nightlife
The village of Pizarra appears to be a typical Spanish village but it offers
rather more in the way of cafés and restaurants than other small villages. You
will find typical Spanish fare available alongside an array of international
dishes from countries such as Britain, France and Italy. There are many bars
which have Tapas and local beers to try.
Nightlife is non-stop in this village and it has several nightclubs and discos
for the visitor to enjoy. Many locals mix with tourists in these night spots and
dancing can continue into the early hours of the next day.
