We're staying in Almunecar for a week and are looking for a small town close to Malaga for the night before we fly out. Any recommendations? Our flight is not until midday.

Hi! Me and 5 of my friends are going to Malaga/Marbella this summer and we’re looking for beach club recommendations

We really liked Nikki Beach Marbella, but the beds were around 350€ which felt pretty expensive for us, especially since a lot of it comes back as bottle credit and we don’t drink alcohol, so it’s not the best deal for our group.

Honestly all the beach clubs we’ve found so far seem super expensive so we’re wondering if that’s just normal there 😭 We’d preferably love one with a pool too!

Does anyone know any good beach clubs that are a bit more affordable, either in Malaga or Marbella? We still want a nice vibe/music/beach day atmosphere but without spending an insane amount.

Thanks!!

going from portugal at the end of august with my boyfriend for 4 days and we found a really nice appartment to stay in Mijas. was wondering if it would be worth it to rent a car (i've seen a few going for 160€ for the whole time we're staying). i know that there's trains and other public transportation but i'm uncertain about it because i've heard that parking could be really bad. i'm mainly thinking about it so that we could go to nerja in about half the time (same goes for other places). i'm unsure. so i wanted some opinions...

i want mainly a beach vacation so my plan without nerja was:

day1: malaga center until check in; check in in mijas; mijas' beach
day2: marbella day
day3: benalmadena dolphins' sightseeing + beach
day4: checkout; malagueta beach/malaga so we can be near the airport

if we were to be by car i think the whole of day3 would be for nerja and on day4 whilst we're going in the direction of malaga we would go to benalmadena.

i would like some opinions on locals/people who have visited.
would it be worth it to rent it for the whole trip or maybe just the last 2 days?

Staying in Malagueta for several weeks. Need to to a big shop for staples. Which is my best best? Happy to take a bus or taxi for this first big one.

Hi all, i booked a trip to torremolinos, thought it is a small beach town and a good place to stay for 4 nights and from there to visit small towns around and o0f course malaga. ive read all reddit about torremolinos and all say its relaxed and chill. then i searched torremolinos on youtube to get an idea about it and i was in shock! it looks like mallorca balnearo. only alcohol and cheap tourist scams. ugly city, no culture, no nice buildings, no nice old town. i think i will have a bad time there???

Hey everyone l, as a relatively clueless dude I thought I’d ask for people’s thoughts on which souvenirs you feel are the best representation of Malaga.

Are there any souvenirs or gifts that you feel Malaga does particularly well? All the usual stalls are there: ceramics, jewellery, hats and apparel, incense, etc. what do you personally think is a nice little piece of Malaga to take home with you?

If you think it’s all the same basic junk, you’re also welcome to share that opinion. 😅

Does anyone know if there are any private pools I could pay in to use for the day? Or anything free for that matter?

Don't mind paying, there Saturday and Sunday this weekend solo and a dip may be nice if the sun's shining!

Any other hits tips or places to hang would be cool DM me

Thanks :))

Hey!

I’ll be in Málaga (close to the city centre) at the end of May and I’m trying to figure out if a day trip to Tarifa is doable without a car 😅

Has anyone done Málaga - Tarifa - Málaga in one day and was it manageable?

I don’t want to stay overnight, but the bus/train connections are confusing me a bit, and BlaBlaCar doesn’t seem to have many rides going that far south.

Any tips are super welcome 🙏

Hi heading to Torremolinos for a few nights in June. Looking for some authentic bars or chill bars with acoustic music etc... Trying to avoid the super touristy parts. Thanks in advance ☺️

Hi we're visiting Torremolinos in June for the first time. Ideally looking for authentic bars and low key chill bars, acoustic music etc...rather than the usual touristy type bars. Any tips greatly appreciated. Thanks 😊

Let me know :)

Hi 🙂

I’m visiting Málaga with my girlfriend for her birthday and I want to plan a really special day for her.
We already have a rough plan:
breakfast by the sea, maybe a private boat rental, nice dinner and sunset at Gibralfaro.

I would really love recommendations from locals for:
- romantic restaurants
- hidden spots/views
- good breakfast places
- cool boat rental ideas

Trying to avoid tourist traps 😊
Thanks a lot!

Hi I'm going to Torremolinos later today. My girl wants some fake handbags, and some fake clothes such as football for my little cousin. Anyone know any decent markets for this? I've heard there's often some near the beach. Thanks

When will they be set up for the season? I see on the webcams that they are not out yet.

For anyone that is familiar with the area, how is the street - Salinas - (off the beaten path? in the heart of everything?)

But more importantly, if we want to head to Malagueta (specifically around Cachalote Chiringuito), how long of a walk is that and is there another way to get to Malagueta besides walking?

Holaa Gunners in Málaga,
Anyone watching the match against West Ham tomorrow? Any good pub before El Clásico?
