Malaga 🎣
Stunning Beaches of Málaga
Málaga has become one of my favorite beach spots in Spain. The food is great, the walks are lovely, and the weather is fantastic. Make sure to watch a sunset here—they’re amazing.
Everyone is very cheerful and friendly to tourists. The Alcazaba hike and the Roman theater are must-see attractions, and they're free on Sundays. If you have extra time, check out the nearby places I mention at the end of the blog for day trips.
For food, I definitely recommend trying the local Spanish dishes, especially anything fried like calamari. If you like sardines, try the Espetos – sardine skewers. Also, don’t miss out on other seafood and a cold gazpacho to cool off from the heat.
