Except for very specific neighbourhoods, Málaga is quite safe regarding women's security. Some guys might say things about your appearance if you're an attractive woman, but that's part of the "toxic masculinity culture", nothing to worry about. Robbery, instead, happens frequently if you forget things at the beach or don't watch out for long periods your belongings. Hope this info helps! 🥰

I studied abroad for a summer in Málaga and loved my experience! I felt very safe walking alone and meeting new people. The people I met were extremely friendly and basically everyone spoke English to some extent. Most of the time in the touristic areas they can spot if you’re American and will talk to you in English off the bat. Although, if you want to practice your Spanish, they will usually love to converse with you that way too! I recommend getting a bit off the beaten path for beaches. La Malagueta is a fun beach but it is very crowded and not as beautiful. I recommend the small fisherman neighborhood of El Palo for their more local beach! My favorite quiet place to sit and Watch have a coffee in the centro was La TeterĂa. For a day trip, the beaches in Nerja are crystal clear and so beautiful.

Málaga is a vibrant city , with good weather, nice people and tasty food. The beaches are not the best I have seen , but if you want to have a funny vacation in a young city is the right place. The place for who wants to party!
Posted: August 20, 2023Experienced: July, 2023I spent 5 nights alone in Malaga. I really enjoyed it. There's a lot to see and do, charming bars and restaurants, lots of walks and available tours. On the first evening, I participated in a wine and snacks tour, and one day I chose a trip to Caminito del Rey. The rest of the time I spent exploring the city and the coastline.

Hi, my name is Aline, I am Brazilian and I am currently living in Spain. I know, traveling is a passion that a lot of people share nowadays, I believe it is our nature. I am free spirit, I love to learn more about cultures, history and languages. I speak Portuguese, English, Spanish and also studied French, German and Italian for a while but I am yet to find new friends to help me to really learn. I am passionate about life and for me everything that surrounds us is a miracle. Hopefully I will meet new friends here ♥️
