You will find sandy beaches, gravel beaches, and palm beaches along the seafront. With well-developed infrastructure, bars and lots of entertainments or semi-wild beaches. All the beaches have parking lots nearby.

The city of Malaga is worth visiting as well. Walk around the historic centre and see the Cathedral, the Alcazaba fortress and more. Try authentic cuisine at the Atarazanas Central Marketplace (Mercado Central de Atarazanas).
