Málaga is not only a beach paradise but also a cultural hotspot with countless impressive sights. Málaga is the ideal destination! This charming city on the Costa del Sol has everything you could look for: beautiful beaches, impressive landmarks, and a lively atmosphere.
You will find the impressive Moorish palace and fortress Alcazaba in the heart of Málaga. Walk through the ancient gates and admire the stunning architecture. You can feel the rich history of the Moorish era as you stroll through the colourful gardens and stately walls. Combine your visit to the Alcazaba with the adjacent Roman theatre. The Málaga Cathedral is also a must-see during your holiday in Málaga. Admire the cathedral's mix of architectural styles and splendid wood carvings. In the mood for a spectacular view? Climb the cathedral tower or enjoy the cityscape from Castillo de Gibralfaro.
Did you know that Málaga is located right on the beach? When visiting the city, you should definitely set aside a beach day. The Costa del Sol boasts a coastline of no less than 300 kilometres, so there are plenty of beaches to choose from. Our favourites? Playa de Burriana in Nerja has fine, golden sand and charming shops and restaurants. Playa de la Carihuela in Torremolinos is perfect for families, thanks to its clean and shallow water.
Still have some energy left after a day at the beach? A holiday in Málaga offers so much more. Hop in the car and drive to the picturesque Benalmádena. This charming village and its typical white Andalusian houses is a feast for the eyes. Stroll through the narrow streets and enjoy the view of the coast. And, if you are in for some relaxation afterwards, grab a comfortable sunbed on the beach of Benalmádena and let the soothing sound of the waves wash over you.
Málaga isn't just a destination for culture and the beach, but also for food! The city is renowned for its delicious tapas and fresh seafood. Make sure to try boquerones fritos (fried anchovies) or pulpo a la gallega (octopus). Don't forget to pair this with a glass of local wine or a refreshing Tinto de Verano. Sounds like the perfect city trip, doesn't it?
Málaga truly comes alive in the evening! Start your night in a cosy bodega and enjoy delightful wines. Afterwards, dance the night away in 1 of the many clubs. Or, listen to live music under the stars and feel the vibrant atmosphere of the city.
