Memorable Malaga
Nestled in the southern snippet of Spain is Malaga, a treasure-trove of attractions and the birthplace of the one and only Pablo Picasso. Kooky art aside, this town offers the perfect mix of old and new. Although popular with British sun-seekers and ex-pats, it’s far from a ‘little England’ and should be marked down as one of Spain’s lesser-known greats. ... Read more »
Walk the stone-paved paths of the 14th Century Castillo de Gibralfaro and its 11th Century neighbour, Alcazaba, for a hit of history. Next, try the Museo Interactivo de la Música de Málaga/the Malaga Interactive Music Museum for one of the biggest collections of musical instruments (old and new) in Europe. Like your entertainment with a bit of bite? Swallow your preconceptions and visit Plaza de Toros de la Malagueta to watch some bull versus toreador action.

MALAGA EVENTS
February’s Fiestas de Carnaval always attracts the big crowds. Expect to see traditional dress, flamenco dancing, parades, contests and a plethora of stalls. Oh and food. Lots of food.
Holy Week (around March/April) marks the lead up to Easter and is celebrated with parades and performances morning, noon and night.
The first week of June welcomes Feria del Libro, an enormously popular book fair. Keep an eye out for some first editions.
Mid-August’s Feria de Malaga is the number-one summer festival. Come for the fireworks, food, light displays, art, musical performances and a lot of alcohol-induced dancing.
Tourist Day in September is Malaga’s way of saying thanks to visitors. Celebrate your awesomeness with dancing, booze and an epic paella feast.
WHEN TO GO
Winters in Malaga are mild, with daytime temperatures around 15°C (59°F). Rest assured, you won’t be encountering a typical, Euro-style chill.
Humidity not your friend? Avoid looking like a walking frizz-ball by skipping Malaga from October to December.
November and December experience the heaviest rainfall.
GETTING AROUND
Buses are the main transport of choice. Plus, fares are pretty damn reasonable.
Taxis are well-priced and most of the drivers speak English. Some drivers offer tours, but beware of being ripped off.
If you’re exploring outside the city, the high-speed AVE trains will get you from A to B in the blink of an eye.
