You might want to experience something with a little more action and in that case you will find various water sports on offer along the beaches.

By simply walking through the city of Malaga you will appreciate the many historical and cultural aspects that can be found. The Cathedral of Malaga is an awesome structure that is a classic example of the Renaissance style from Spain’s history. You can admire the architecture from the outside and then head inside to appreciate the grand interior. Malaga is the birthplace of one of history’s greatest artists Pablo Picasso, so why not enjoy some of his original paintings by visiting the museum named after him.

The natural scenery and small villages around Malaga are worth exploring and by a simple walk or biking trip you can uncover some great views of the region as well as some quaint area’s that present honest Spanish life.

Golf is perhaps one of the biggest sports in Spain and various resorts offer great facilities so it will come as little surprise that you are able to grab a hole or two in Malaga.

Malaga – Food & Nightlife

Couple on an all inclusive holiday The city of Malaga is home to some fine cuisine in the various restaurants in and around the area. The city has many seafood restaurants which you will soon realise is the main type of dish available, though fear not because it isn’t the only food available. You will find popular dishes are served in Chinese and Italian restaurants. Those who prefer to stick to tried and tested British dishes will appreciate the food served in most of the hotels.

The nightlife in Malaga isn’t as lively as nearby resort such as Torremolinos but it still has a fantastic nightlife to offer. There are plenty of bars for tourists and locals to enjoy a nice wind down to busy days. There are also plenty of clubs to go to where you can dance well into the morning hours. It is this nightlife that draws the younger crowds of tourism. During summer you are likely to experience Flamenco shows that take place out in the streets and they provide a very Latin feel to your Malaga holiday.

Malaga Weather and Climate

Malaga enjoys fantastic weather perhaps even the best that Spain has to offer, over summer you can expect temperature to be 28°C. The peak summer months will easily see temperatures that go over the 30°C mark, the best months for this are July and August and these months will also see the most sunshine. The average time of sun light during the day over summer in Malaga is 10 hours, during this time there will be little if any clouds so tourists can lose no time working on that tan.

Over winter things won’t be as great but will still be pretty good. January is known as the coldest month for Malaga but even then the temperature won’t fall below 17°C. As for sunshine each day the number of hours drops to around 6 which still means there is more than enough to enjoy for tourists who prefer escaping cold UK winters. The winter might see some rain but hardly any in all honesty because this coastal city has never suffered with a great amount of down pour.
