Do you think is easy to do a proper guide on what to do and see in Malaga<\/strong>, and crop it in a short blog post?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover Malaga was on our bucket list, everyone was telling us to go there for our holidays and we finally did it. It was our first time going around the South of Spain<\/strong> and we didn’t know what to expect. The South of Spain<\/strong><\/span> is completely different so be ready because it will be spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n

We organized an amazing road trip to Spain<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, our main city was Malaga, because of the closest airport to the city centre and the beautiful beach, Miami style. We have always been attracted to Spain, so we decided to organize a road trip and start it from Malaga. This will be not just a suggestion for a summer trip in Andalusia, but you can also visit this part of Spain in winter<\/span><\/a><\/span>, for a weekend break.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been working really hard and we deserved a good holiday, where the main attraction was just the sun, nice food and finally the beach. Malaga is a really beautiful city, you can visit it walking, by car or using public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Malaga to airport<\/h2>\n\n\n

Malaga airport is named Pablo Picasso, in honour of the famous artist. <\/strong>Going around the city you will see a lot about Picasso if you get a chance try to visit the museum dedicate to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, maybe now is already the time to give you some right suggestions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just at the exit of the airport, there is the bust shuttle terminal. The buses connect you straight to the city centre, it will cost you just 3 euro<\/strong>. You don’t need to book in advance, you can pay on the bus to the driver. Remember, the drivers accept only cash, is not possible in any way to pay on the bus by card, but there are many cash machine around the airport, and it is easy to find one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like always we suggest don’t change your money to the cash exchange inside the airport and avoid huge fees and tax (spend it on food and shopping). <\/strong>Before starting your trip ask your bank for the details and the fee to pay with your card abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it is your first time in Spain, don’t worry is not too difficult to find the way to go to the city centre. As soon as you leave the arrivals hall and you exit from the airport you will see the bar Gambrinus<\/strong> (a Spanish traditional bar where you can find the local Cruzcampo<\/strong>)<\/em> and walk straight in that direction on your left-hand side you will see the bus stop, A ( Line A Express Malaga Airport – Malaga city).<\/cite><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ride will take around 20-30 minutes it always depends on the traffic. There is a bus every 20-25 minutes from 7 am until midnight at the airport. By bus, you will see all the neighbourhoods of Malaga and part of the city centre, but you will miss the sea areas and the heart of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n

When is the best time to visit Malaga<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Malaga is always beautiful, winter, summer or even springtime<\/strong>. If you want to enjoy every single moment may be the best time is around April and May, is not too hot and not cold and you have to opportunity to go to the beach as well. For us, it was very difficult because we are currently living in the UK, where the weather is not the best one so we always want to go somewhere where there are sun and beach<\/strong>. We have been in May and it was hot, but really acceptable, good weather for enjoy the city and don’t sweat and go to the seaside to swim. Check out all the best dishes Spain has to offer<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to see and what you can’t miss in Malaga<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing that you can’t miss is the Picasso Museum<\/strong><\/span>. It has been always my favourite artist, and when I discovered that there was a museum in Malaga I booked the ticket as soon as I could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ticket is not expensive, for people over 65, student or under 26 the cost is 6 euro,<\/strong> (poor Toti), otherwise, the “full” price is 8 euro<\/strong>. It is open every day from 10 am and is it closed on the 25th of December, the 1st of January and the 6th.<\/span><\/strong> Remember as in Malaga there are always a lot of tourists it is better to book the ticket online and jump the queue. It is easy to reach and to find it, is just close to the Roman Theatre.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
