The charming city of Malaga

Malaga is a wonderful, bustling city. It’s perfect for a weekend getaway or an extended beach holiday. This city has a lot to offer. For example, visit the palace and castle of Alcazaba and discover the Moorish influences from centuries ago. When you visit the Alcazaba, be sure to also see the Roman Theatre, located practically next door. Admire different architectural styles and the beautiful woodwork in the choir benches in Malaga's majestic cathedral. For the best view, climb the cathedral's tower or gaze out over the city from the Castillo de Gibralfaro. Stroll along the Calle Marques de Larios, Malaga’s main shopping street, to snap up the best souvenirs. In the evening, finish your day with some delicious tapas. Malaga is famous for fried fish, such as squid and anchovies. Of course your meal isn't complete without a glass of local dessert wine. Sounds like the perfect city break, don’t you agree?

“Malaga and the Costa del Sol offer so much more than sunshine and beaches. You will be pleasantly surprised by the overwhelmingly beauty of this region.”

Beach holidays on the Costa del Sol

Did you know that Malaga is located right on the Costa del Sol? This means you can easily combine a visit to Malaga with a day at the beach. The Costa del Sol boasts 300 kilometres of coastline so choosing the most beautiful beach can be a challenge. Want to know our favourites? We like Playa de Burriana in Nerja with fine, golden sand and lovely shops and restaurants. Playa de la Carihuela in Torremolinos with its clean, shallow water is a popular beach among families. Looking for some culture before hitting the sand? Drive to the idyllic seaside resort of Benalmádena and stroll its quaint streets lined with whitewashed houses, typical of the Andalusia region. Then it's time to enjoy the resort’s sandy beach and azure sea.

A road trip in Spain

Looking for adventure? Rent a car and drive around 50 kilometres from Malaga to El Caminito del Rey, a unique suspended walking path hugging steep rock faces. From here, you are very close to Ronda, a beautiful town perched on a mountain top. An enormous bridge connects the old and the new parts of the town. Enjoy unparalleled views across the mountain gorge. Escape the Spanish heat with a visit to the Nerja caves. These impressive caves are wonderfully cool.
