Malaga city trip - Getting there, hotels, attractions and restaurants


Malaga has many facets and, as the second largest city in Andalusia, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations. The climate is ideal for a city break, especially in the months between March and November.

 

Getting to Malaga on the beautiful Mediterranean is easy and often inexpensive. Check flight deals for the best prices and look for budget accommodation or Airbnbs. Around Malaga, you will find small apartments as well as modern beach hotels. Thus, the city is ideal for a beach holiday. P.s. Be sure to book a hotel with a pool in summer. You can stay between three and fourteen nights - there is enough to explore.

 

On the Costa del Sol, you don’t have to worry about your Spanish language skills. You will be enchanted by the flair and benefit from the Spanish hospitality. The lifestyle is truly unique. Enjoy delicious tapas by the sea, relax under the warm sunshine and the cool Mediterranean Sea. You will find delicious restaurants around the beautiful beaches in Malaga. Especially when it comes to tapas and wine, you cannot go wrong with the diverse culinary on the Costa del Sol. I definitely recommend Playas de Palo when you want to visit the beach, because Playa la Malagueta is a bit crowded in summer.

 

But not just for sun, beach and food the Costa del Sol is famous for. Malaga shines with numerous sights and it’s full of culture and history. In addition to art museums and old churches and squares you will find numerous monuments and viewpoints. Your ideal starting point is the harbor or the city center. From there you can explore everything by foot or by bike. Make sure to visit the Malaga Wine Museum and the beautiful Jardines de Pedro Luis Alonso. It is a true natural oasis and a mediterranean idyll full of roses and colorful flowers - even in winter! Enjoy the scent of orange trees and listen to the soft sounds of the fountains. From there you can also explore the most beautiful viewpoints in Malaga.

Medieval fortresses, lovely parks and fantastic views in Malaga


You love breathtaking views and unique architecture?

 

Then you have to pay a visit to the old fortress and palace complex Alcazaba in Málaga. Close to the Teatro Romano, an impressive ruin of an amphitheater, you will find the climb up to the Alcazaba. The former fortress, perched high above the city, is part of the unique cityscape of Malaga.

 

From there you can walk up to Gibralfaro Castle – trust me, the views are totally worth it! The entrance fee for Gibralfaro and Alcazaba only costs € 3.50 and it’s worth every penny. Enjoy the wonderful view from the top. Both fortresses were formerly connected and can still be explored today through wonderful parks.

 

Be sure to bring a bottle of water with you during the high season. The way is simple but persistent and sometimes a bit exhausting.

But you will be rewarded with the breathtaking view over Malaga.
