Malaga’s coastline runs right along the city, so you don’t need to go far for a swim. The main stretch starts near the port along the Paseo de Pablo Ruiz Picasso. La Malagueta is the most central beach — about 10 minutes from the Old Town — with dark sand, showers, toilets, and sunbeds for hire. You’ll spot the big Malagueta sign where everyone stops for photos. The beach is lined with chiringuitos, casual seafood spots where you can try grilled sardines (espetos) cooked over open fire. La Caleta, just a bit further east, is quieter but has the same setup — clean, calm water, and easy access.

Malaga’s biggest party of the year happens every August. It kicks off with fireworks and runs for about a week, with two main zones: one in the city centre during the day, and the official fairgrounds (a bit outside town) at night. Expect dancing in the streets, horses, live music, plenty of flamenco dresses, and locals handing you a glass of sweet wine. There are food stalls, rides, and casetas (tent bars) blasting everything from traditional Sevillanas to reggaeton.
