I was in Malaga with a friend in September. The city is the gateway to Andalusia and unfortunately overcrowded with tourists. Nevertheless, it is very easy to visit as many attractions are close to the city center. As you are bound to land in Malaga on a tour of Andalusia due to the airport, it makes sense to explore the city a little.
The highlight of Málaga is that the city offers many cultural sights. Many museums and castles are located close to the city center and can be visited without much effort. The harbor and a visit to a local restaurant are also not to be missed!
An affordable attraction close to the city center is the Alcazaba. This is an old castle that can be climbed, with a hiking trail behind it
Málaga is the center of Andalusia and is also "very much on the way" on a round trip due to the airport. It's worth stopping!
Good infrastructure (airport, train, bus)

Spring in Andalusia traditionally starts with a visit to Malaga. After we had completed the standard program, a visit to the Alcazaba and the Castillo de Gibralfaroq, we went to the Centre Pompidou, which was a worthwhile detour. In the evening we found an absolutely authentic tapas bar, the Mesón Mariano, which had simply delicious tapas. Afterwards, you can really immerse yourself in the nightlife. There was a crowded bar with a very loud crowd on every corner. The nightlife goes on until dawn, even during the week.

I have to say, I've been to Málaga 4-5 times now. I'm thrilled with the city, it's diverse in every respect, you can relax by the sea, but you can also just go shopping or go on a day trip. My conclusion is that you have to see the area.
The city is one of the most beautiful cities in all of Spain
A day trip to the mountains is recommended
The mix of mountains and sea is unique
Beautiful beaches
Beautiful landscapes
High crime rate
Public transportation hardly available

My vacation in Málaga was definitely unforgettable. My personal highlight was the crocodile park. There are many beautiful and, above all, large animals here. I don't have a direct insider tip. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed a walk along the NUSI Lago de Pesca. I spent a lovely evening with my family in the Calnmor bar. I can give my vacation 5 stars with a clear conscience.
The Crocodile Park is a great destination.

.Malaga is located in a subtropical climate zone of Mediterranean type. What does this mean? Well, we can observe here very mild winters and long and warm summers. The average annual temperature is over 73 degrees during the day and 57 degrees at night. It is worth bearing in mind that you can rent apartments in Malaga at any time of the year. November here is like the first half of June in Poland and there is almost no rainfall. You can enjoy beautiful weather all year round and the temperatures in spring and autumn are ideal for walking and sightseeing.
Are you fascinated by history and enjoy learning about stories from previous eras? Then you should go to the Castle of Gibralfaro (Castillo de Gibralfaro), which was built by Yusuf I. He was the Muslim ruler of Granada ruling in the first half of the 14th century. The castle was built on a mountain 130 feet above sea level, all to defend the Alcazaba fortress located at the foot of the mountain. Both the castle and the fortress are connected by a passage protected by a single line of walls, while the entire castle served a military function until 1925. This entire structure was built with modern features in mind. The zigzag walls made it possible to dispense with the construction of flanking towers, while the main gate was designed in such a way that the invaders had to change the direction of attack, which in turn weakened its momentum and prevented the use of battering rams.
If you have apartments in the center of Málaga, keep in mind that there is a ramp available at the top of the walls that offers an amazing view of the city, and if the visibility is good, you can even see Giblartar or the Moroccan Atlas Mountains. After the Spanish conquered Málaga in 1487, the castle became the residence of Ferdinand II Catholic and his wife Isabella I Catholic.
Agree with the rule that you can never have enough history and sightseeing? Then visit the Renaissance church in Malaga, Andalusia. Here, you can still admire the Arab walls that form a large architectural ensemble with the nearby Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle. The entire cathedral and its interior were built in a typical Renaissance style. So if you are an architecture lover, renting accommodation in Malaga will give you a real historical feast.
.Do you know what "white garlic" is? It is a soup served cold, which is also known as white gazpacho. Having booked accommodation in Malaga, it is impossible not to try it. It is made with bread, ground almonds, garlic, water, olive oil and salt. Some people also add vinegar to it. This traditional dish is served with grapes, melon or apple slices. If you like original combinations, try albondigas en salsa de almendras, or meatballs in almond sauce. And for all seafood lovers, there are anchovies marinated in vinegar, or boquerones en vinagre.
.An overnight stay in Malaga can also be a great opportunity to try a dish called fritura malagueña, or deep-fried fish and seafood. They are always served with a slice of lemon. Pipirrana malagueña, on the other hand, is a refreshing salad consisting of onions, tomato, cucumber and red and green peppers. Salt, pepper, olive oil and sherry-based vinegar are added as seasonings. The base of pipirran is usually octopus or shrimp.
Do you love refreshing drinks and soups? Then booking apartments in Malaga was a good choice. Porra antequerana comes from the Andalusian town of Antequera, near Málaga. It is nothing more than a cooler, which is a derivative of the well-known Spanish gazpacho. The soup consists of sun-dried tomatoes, bread, garlic, olive oil and peppers, and the whole dish is served in tapas form.

Specially nice and also free to visit is CAC Málaga, the center for contemporary art. The not too large permanent collection but instead many changing exhibitions make this museum in Málaga particularly interesting.

.If you book a vacation rental in Malaga at the port, you can walk to the Centre Pompidou Malaga.
