Magnificent Malaga

We have a guest post for you today from Jet2, all about Magnificent Malaga…

Malaga is the perfect place to go if you’re after a break from all this chilly British weather! It’s got lots more to offer than beaches and sunshine, although it does have plenty of that too. On top of the typical offerings of Spanish seaside resorts, Malaga has lots in the way of art, architecture and history, so it’s ideal if you want to spend at least a day or two of your holiday enjoying something a little more cultured than a Sex on the Beach and a trip to the local waterpark – but you can certainly do that too!

The thing about Malaga is that it’s got something for everyone, whether you’re booking a family holiday, a romantic couple’s break or you’re going away with a group of friends. If you’re into sightseeing, for example, you definitely won’t be short of things to do in Malaga. The birthplace of Picasso, Malaga has plenty of interesting architectural sites and art museums to wander around, as well as culture and history aplenty in the city’s old town.

If it’s sun, sea and sand you’re after then, equally, you’ve got plenty of it here. The city is the centre of the Costa del Sol, renowned as a popular holiday destination and offering plenty of hotels and tourist facilities for anyone after a laid back, beach holiday. For those into their nightlife, the city is buzzing after dark. Thursday through to Sunday is the best time to hit the clubs, including the Metropol, Velvet Club (also known as Sonic) and Paradise if you’re after a gay club.

Maybe shopping and tasty Mediterranean food is your thing, in which case you won’t go far wrong with a holiday here. The capital of the Malaga Province, Malaga has lots of great shops for you to browse around and plenty of restaurants to enjoy delicious Spanish food at. Pick from one of the many beachside restaurants to sit and enjoy a tasty meal and glass of Sangria at after a refreshing swim in the lovely Spanish sea. Some local dishes you could try are ‘espetos’, screwed and grilled sardines, and ‘pescaito frito’, which covers various types of fish, deep-fried. And of course, paella!

You can’t really visit Malaga at the ‘wrong’ time, as it’s almost always warm and dry, but if you want manageably warm weather, spring and autumn are good times to visit. Cheap flights to Malaga are not hard to find, with many airlines flying here throughout the year, including Jet2.
