Getting to Malaga

You can fly to Malaga from most major ports in the UK and Europe for as little as £100 return, depending on the time of year and the carrier.  You can fly into Malaga Airport direct and access resorts via a short drive or taxi ride. (or arrange a transfer with the resort)

If you feel like a road trip, it's around 900kms from the UK through France. Make sure you have all the correct permits for travel before heading off.  Driving is an excellent way of experiencing Europe on the ground, but you will need more time each side for travel. Allow 2 days for driving, sightseeing and breaks.

History

Málaga is a municipality of Spain, capital of the Province of Málaga, in the autonomous community of Andalusia. With a population of 571,026 in 2018, it is the second-most populous city in Andalusia after Seville and the sixth most populous in Spain. It lies on the Costa del Sol of the Mediterranean, about 100 kilometres east of the Strait of Gibraltar and about 130 km north of Africa.

Málaga's history spans about 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest cities in Europe and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. According to most scholars, it was founded about 770 BC by the Phoenicians as Malaka. From the 6th century BC the city was under the hegemony of Ancient Carthage, and from 218 BC, it was ruled by the Roman Republic and then empire as Malaca. After the fall of the empire and the end of Visigothic rule, it was under Islamic rule as M?laqah for 800 years, but in 1487, the Crown of Castille gained control in the midst of the Granada War.

Climate

Malaga enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate which has helped make it one of Europes favourite Holiday destinations. It is, after all, the capital city of Spain's sun coast', the Costa Del Sol

Hot Dry Summers And Mild Winters

The climate is characterised by long, hot, dry summers and very mild rainy winters. The city receives almost 3000 hours of sunshine a year which equates to about 300 days every year with sunny days. However, Malaga is also prone to fog which develops over the sea and blows inland. The average high temperature climbs to 20°C early on, up to 21°C in April and 24°C in May. Night times remain cold, only getting up to an average low of 11°C in May. 

Summer in Malaga runs from June until September. The average temperature stays in the high 20s for the entire season, climbing to an average high of 28°C in June, and peaking at an average of 31°C in July and August.

This period can see temperatures reach into the 30s in the middle of the day, although low humidity and sea breezes offer respite.

Attractions and Activities

Málaga has weathered the centuries in stride. Founded in the eighth century BC, Málaga is one of the oldest Mediterranean seaports. The landmarks reflect the city's checkered past - ruins of a Roman theatre, a 10th-century Moorish castle built on the remains of a Phoenician lighthouse, the 13th-century Alcazaba, and a beautiful Baroque basilica. Besides history, Málaga offers the stunning scenery of the Costa del Sol and great weather combined with culture and a beautiful stretch of beach. Leafy palm trees line the seaside promenades, and tropical vegetation flourishes throughout the city. Málaga's old-world ambience enchants visitors who take the time to explore. Wander the historic centre to discover little boutiques and tapas restaurants. Stroll along the harbour and stop at a waterside restaurant to indulge in a delicious seafood meal.
