Going on holiday in Malaga
Malaga is a fine location around the year with dry, mild winters and hot, sweltering summers. The high season is from July through August, when the temperatures soar well past 30°C. Accommodation can book up, and coastal attractions swell with numbers. To avoid these crowds, you can consider the shoulder seasons in spring and early autumn. Both of these see warm and pleasant weather that's fine for beach excursions. Semana Santa is a particularly vibrant religious festival that sees Malaga come to life in March/April. Despite the low prices, winter is still delightful with dry coastal weather. Some resorts do close, and attractions see reduced hours, but Malaga remains a thriving hub.

The opinion of the Voyage Privé travel expert on Malaga
Malaga is the Costa del Sol's crown jewel, which is loaded with historical character and a glitzy port area. The city is the perfect fusion of tradition and modernity. Visit world-famous Picasso museums or enjoy cutting-edge art in Soho. The lively bar scene and bustling culinary culture make it a perfect nightspot, whatever your tastes. Then there are the breathtaking beaches, all awaiting sand-lovers just moments from the city.
Malaga – a gateway to the white mountaintop towns of Andalusia
While Malaga is so vibrant that it can sustain weeks of exploration, the surrounding area is equally lush and lively. Andalusia is renowned for its white-washed mountain towns, from Nerja to Frigiliana and Casares. These snowy "Pueblos Blancos" are well worth a day trip when you're not at the beach. You can navigate these scenic villages by car or simply jump on a bus to head deep into Andalusia.
