Málaga Cathedral sits in the heart of the old town, so most of the time you'll simply walk to it. Here's how to reach it from the airport, the station or the port — and what's worth seeing on the same square kilometre.

The Cathedral is on Calle Molina Lario, between Calle Larios and the port. From Plaza de la Constitución or Calle Larios it's a two-to-three-minute walk; from the port and Muelle Uno, about five. If you're staying in the centre, walking is almost always the quickest option.
Take metro line L1 or L2 to Atarazanas, the terminus next to the Central Market. From there it's roughly a five-minute walk into the old town and to the Cathedral.
The cheapest and most reliable route is the Cercanías C1 train, which runs from the airport to Málaga Centro-Alameda in about 12 minutes for €1.80. From that stop it's an 8–10 minute walk to the Cathedral. If you arrive at the main station, María Zambrano, take the metro from El Perchel to Atarazanas.
The Cathedral sits at the middle of everything, so you can build a whole day around it without a taxi:
Because everything is this close, the centre rewards a guided walk that strings the Cathedral, the old town and the monuments together and explains what you're looking at. The route below does exactly that.
