I traveled solo to Malaga and from there to a few places around. Visited Gibraltar, Marbella, Benalmadena, Torremolinos, Caminito Del Ray hike, Ronda, Seville, and Nerja. Really loved it. Very safe and transport is very cheap, they have deals on trains so it makes it very easy and budget-friendly.

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!

I spent 5 nights solo in Malaga. Really enjoyed it. Plenty to see and do, lovely bars and restaurants, and loads of walking and tours available. I did a tapas and wine tour my first evening and did a day trip out to the Caminito del Rey on one of the days. The rest I spent wandering around the town and coast.

In malaga i had the most amazing time! There were beautiful cheap hostels in which i felt very safe! The beach is lovely and there are places to go for food and drinks on a budget. the nightlife is great fun and there are lots of friendly solo travellers so it’s a great place to make friends. Lots of cultural things to do and on sundays ( i think it’s sundays ) there’s free/ half price enteries to most galleries and museums

I loved Malaga. We did day trips to Seville, Granada and hiked Caminito del Rey. It was very easy to get to places by bus or train. In Malaga we hiked up to Alcazaba - great views. We loved hanging out on beach during day and going to great restaurants in city center at night. So safe & the people were so kind. We had a great time.

Museums are incredible, the food, the architecture, the friendly people, and their relaxed respectful culture. I adored the port, it has a stunning walkway with restaurants, bars and shops great to sit out reading a book.

I’m French and I have been there with a friend. I recommend Picasso museum, Alcazaba, nightly flamenco show in the ancient Roman theater (must see) and visiting churches.

Definitely don’t miss Mercado Atarazanas (main market) one of the best in Spain. Wander round and get a fresh seafood tapa on one of the bars. Best views are from the terrace at AC Marriott but Batik roof terrace in the Malaga Premium also has great views of the alcazaba. You could consider the free walking tour on your first morning to get your bearings and learn about the history.

Things to do: * Thissen Museum * Picasso Museum * roof bar at Marriott Hotel * walk around Málaga Port, plenty of nice restaurants in the city center close to the Cathedral

There are 2 really nice castles in the city, I think they may even be linked by a big wall/ path. You get a great view! Lots of the restaurants are to die for (just make sure they’re not the ones advertising an English meal 😜) The beach is super lovely and you can get fresh fish cooked on the beachfront. You can also do like a 12 hour trip to Morocco.
