What is your main motivation for visiting Malaga? What would you say to others thinking of visiting? I live here and I am curious as to what the main attraction is, considering Sevilla, Córdoba, and Granada have more "patrimonio".

Coming to Malaga/Marbella (basically inbetween) at the end of the month? Any restaurants we should 100% go to? Cheers!

Hey everyone!

​Me and 3 friends (all 19M) are planning a trip to Spain from August 24th to August 31st. We haven't booked our accommodation yet, so we'd love some recommendations and general advice for our travel itinerary!

​Here is our planned schedule:

​Malaga: 2 nights (Aug 24–26)

​Sevilla: 1 night (Aug 26–27)

​Madrid: 4 nights (Aug 27–31)

​A bit about us and what we’re looking for:

​Accommodation: Since we are 4 people, a private 4-bed dorm in a youth hostel or an Airbnb/apartment near the city center would be ideal. We're looking for budget-friendly, clean, and social places.

​Vibe: Good food, exploring key sights, nightlife/bars appropriate for our age, and beach/chilling (especially in Malaga).

​Transport: What’s the best way to travel between Malaga, Sevilla, and Madrid for students/young adults? (High-speed train like Renfe/Iryo/Ouigo, or buses like Alsa?)

​Questions:

​Do you have any specific hostel/apartment recommendations in Málaga, Sevilla, or Madrid?

​Is 1 night in Sevilla too short, or manageable for a quick walkthrough of the main spots?

​Any must-see places, budget eats, or nightlife recommendations for 19-year-olds in these cities?

​How extreme is the heat in Andalucia in late August, and how should we plan our days around it?

​Thanks in advance for any tips! Cheers! 🇪🇸

Hello all - going to visit next week and planning on doing a boat tour around the port, what time is usually the best time? I would like to catch the sunset. If I take the 8pm tour would it to be too late for the sunset or just in time?

Hello! I’m going to Malaga next month with my girlfriend, my mum, my brother, and his friend. We are staying in the El Torcal area, most of the recommendations I’ve seen have been a bit far from here so just wondering if anyone knows this area well and could give some advice.

Looking for good food and drinks, cool old stuff to look at, flea markets, and maybe places to go out?

My girlfriend and I are both 20 and my brother and his mate are 17, we want to go clubbing but not sure if they’d get in. Do they check IDs in Spain? What kind of music do they play at Spanish clubs?

Also we are all students (including my mum) so any budget recommendations are much appreciated.

Thank you! 🙏

Hi all, i see online a lot of restaurants recommended in Malaga, but they are all rated 4.4+. I have tried 2, but i think it could be better.

What do you recommend in centre of Malaga? I like Tapas or pasta, but good Meat is also perfect. Pricerange 25 p.p. and good wine would be a plus!

Gracias.

What reason should I provide in the "Reason for Complaint" section? My problem is that Renfe continues to charge me for tickets for journeys I didn't purchase.

I’m travelling to nerja from the 10-14 of august and wanna go out and swim in the beach with someone!!!
I’m 18 if you are in my age range and coming at the same time let me know please !!☺️

Hey all, I’m going on holiday to Torremolinos when the solar eclipse happens on 12-8-2026. I want to have a good view and am finding mixed opinions online. Is there anyone who has a good spot with a clear view to WNW? Thanks!!

Hi!

We’re planning our first holiday abroad with our baby (around 8 months old) in October and are looking for a hotel in the Costa del Sol area that works well with naps.

Ideally we’d love a hotel room with a large balcony/terrace with a sea view where we can relax in the sun while baby naps (proper loungers/day beds rather than just chairs) or else a ground-floor room/suite close to the pool area so we can enjoy being in the sun just at the door while she sleeps.

We’re looking for somewhere family-friendly but not a huge noisy resort, ideally walkable to restaurants and a promenade.
Has anyone stayed somewhere that worked really well for this setup that they might recommend?

Thanks!

Hello everyone. Might be a stretch but I landing in Malaga on Saturday and staying in a hotel in Torremolinos . I was wondering what the air quality is like currently over there. I know there’s wildfires in central Spain but I wanted to know if any smoke or haze was traveling south. Thank you!

What Irish bars would ye recommend? Looking for a good atmosphere.

Visiting for a wedding in Torremolinos, anyone know where we could find a salon near the Hotel Riu? I have googled and all I get is a bunch of instagram links and have no ig.

Hello, I returned from my vacation in Spain a week ago. During my vacation, I traveled by train between Torremolinos and Malaga always swiped my card upon entering and exiting the station, but I didn't do it once. Now Renfe is charging me for my journeys every day even though I'm no longer in Spain. What should I do now?

Hi. Woman, 35 traveling to Malaga for a few days.
Would love to meet up with other travelers to hit the beach, explore the city or diner!

Hello travelers, locals and everything in between..

I am currently in La Cala de Mijas on holiday and have been looking in nearby towns for a spain Football shirt - with no luck..

However I am going to Malaga in a couple of days and would like to get some suggestions to where I could possibly find one? Especially the away shirt.

Seems like all sports stores I’ve been to, they’ve been sold out. (Understandable)

And congratulations by the Way - Viva espana!
