Take in the vistas of one of Málaga's picturesque churches, San Juan, from this home's sunny rooftop terrace (accessed via a spiral staircase). There's also a small balcony (standing room only) from where you can watch the world go by on the street below. On that note, you're likely to hear some city noise here, but that's to be expected because this home's location is excellent. You'll find the Catedral de la Encarnación de Málaga, the Museo Carmen Thyssen and the Plaza de la Constitución, all within a short walk.
