The Best Things To See And Do In Malaga In Spring

Its location on one of the world’s most beautiful coastlines makes Malaga an unbeatable city for a warm spring break. Temperatures range from the mid-20s (77°F) to the early 30s (90°F) at this time of year, meaning it’s the perfect season to explore the city’s port, beaches and botanical gardens – to name just three of its key attractions.

Relax on the beach

If the spring sun gets to be a little too much for you whilst you’re exploring Malaga, the beach is never far away. The Playa Malagueta is the closest of them all, about a 10-minute walk along the restaurant-lined Paseo del Muelle Uno at the east end of Malaga’s great port. Its half-mile (0.8-kilometre) stretch of fine sand provides an ideal setting for catching some Andalusian sun rays and taking a cool dip before lunch or drinks in one of the many wonderful seafood restaurants and bars on Muelle Uno. A little further eastwards is Playa Caleta, another superb city beach known for being the most well maintained in the area. Despite their proximity to Malaga’s busy city centre, neither the Malagueta or Caleta feel closed in or polluted, and from their clean sands, you can take in the beautiful views of the rough, mountainous terrain that surrounds Malaga. For those who quickly tire of sunbathing, there are plenty of chiringuitos in which to drink a cold beer and eat fresh seafood.
