So since it doesn´t cost anything to lay on the beach that was so worth it. We went in February and it was 20 degrees. It was amazing. there are a lot of cool shops in the more commercial part of the city so that was cool. you can walk everywhere. becareful about the buses because the bus...more So since it doesn´t cost anything to lay on the beach that was so worth it. We went in February and it was 20 degrees. It was amazing. there are a lot of cool shops in the more commercial part of the city so that was cool. you can walk everywhere. becareful about the buses because the bus to the airport never came =(. But just go sit on the beach it was cool. There is a strange garden near that port that I loved too. The hike to Gibralfro Castle is really long and hot but you get cool views of the city so it´s worth it.close

Very nice people, lots of shops, clubs, bars. The beach is not the best one, however you still can sunbath in the middle of November! :) Food-very many possibilities to try different food (Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Turkish etc.) Spanish ice-cream is REALLY worth trying it.

There are also many cultural object to visit: Museum of Modern Arts, Picasso\'s Museum, Picasso\'s house where he was born, Roman Theater etc. close

Malaga is ok. It is a typical \'rich persons\' holiday place, with plenty of fancy shops and cafes. Its a beautiful city with many squares, parks and beaches but one night was enough. Picasso museum is interesting and the views from alcazaba were pretty good. Visit malaga if you like...more Malaga is ok.

Costa del Sol's capital, is the best city to go on the beach, to go out at night and to eat the typical "pescaito frito" {fried fish}. There are a lot of bars on the beach, called "chiringitos" where you can eat this typical food. There are too a lot of pubs and discos around the city centre and...more Costa del Sol's capital, is the best city to go on the beach, to go out at night and to eat the typical "pescaito frito" {fried fish}.

There are too a lot of pubs and discos around the city centre and in the villages around where you can go out at night and to stay there until the day goes up.close

It appears that Malaga is trying to get the most out of its assets: admission fees for churches and castles are all quite high, even though the sites are not that special.

This was actually much better - the beach was much more beautiful, spacious, and less populated. It was an easy place to navigate on foot, with a plethora of shops and beautiful warm weather. There are any number of wonderful small eateries, and a McDonalds for the picky. Be aware of bus schedules - this gave us some trouble when we were trying to return to Madrid. There are two stations in town.close

I liked Malaga very much. Getting around by bus was ok, even to other cities, but buses dont work at night, and that limits mobility a bit. The beach is nice and Semana Santa activities were great. I found shopping a bit expensive personally. The people are great though. Very friendly and accept...more I liked Malaga very much.
