About Malaga
The coastal city of Malaga, the sixth-largest in Spain, has a history dating back to 770 BC, when the Phoenicians first settled it in an area known then as Malaka. Over the years, various civilizations ruled Malaga, including Romans, Greeks, Moors, and Christians, each leaving a significant impact on the city.
Today, Malaga is known for attractions that originated during these periods, such as the famous Roman amphitheater, the Cathedral of Malaga, as well as the Alcazaba of Malaga, and Gibralfaro Castle.
Malaga is the birthplace of the world-famous painter Pablo Picasso, who was born in 1881 and lived there for 10 years before moving to A Coruña and Barcelona later in his life. Picasso was always proud of his Andalusian roots. His hometown and its surroundings influenced the artist’s work, which can now be admired at the Picasso Museum in Malaga, which was opened in 2003.
The passion for art in Malaga does not stop there. As you wander through the sun-drenched streets, you will also discover urban masterpieces coloring the city in vibrant tones. On a similar note, since 1998 Malaga has been hosting one of the most important events in Spain, the Malaga Film Festival. This event is held every year to promote Spanish cinematography to gain recognition not only on a national level.
And that is just a small part of what Malaga has to offer. From its fabulous beaches, buildings steeped in history, and rich culture to its seafood delights and laid-back and friendly locals, Malaga has been attracting millions of visitors each year.
From Seville to Malaga: travel tips
Despite the short distance between the two cities, there are a few things worth keeping in mind. Make your trip from Seville to Malaga as seamless as possible with these two tips:
Learn about Malaga’s coffee culture
It is not an easy job to order a coffee in Malaga, so you will need a little study session before you sit and relax at one of Malaga's charming cafes.
For pure black coffee lovers it is pretty simple: ask for a café solo, and you are good to go. But for those who drink their coffee with milk, that’s where the real fun begins. If you want your coffee to have 10% milk, ask for café largo, but if you want 40% milk, you should ask for café solo corto. Or maybe you want coffee that barely has coffee in it? Then go for café nube, which contains 90% of milk and just 10% of coffee.
These are just some of the coffee types you can order according to your preferences. Make sure you learn them all!
### Go on a day trip with a rental car
Malaga is definitely worth visiting from end to end but there are also some jewels in the surroundings of the city that you absolutely cannot miss. The best and most comfortable way to do so is by going on a day trip with a rental car, as you won’t have to worry about public transport being late. Some places worth visiting and that are not too far from Malaga are Cueva de Nerja, Fuengirola, and Mijas Pueblo.

Things to do when you get to Malaga
While it is hard to choose just a handful of things to visit or do once you reach Barcelona, we assure you these recommendations will be the highlight of your trip:
Drench yourself in the sun at the sandy beaches
Malaga is famous for its pristine, palm-tree-filled beaches lined along the Mediterranean coast, so it’s an experience that you cannot miss!
There are around 300 sunny days a year in Malaga, so unless you visit from December to February, when the temperatures are not as pleasant for swimming, you should expect nice weather for water activities, such as paddleboarding or windsurfing. The most famous beach in Malaga is La Malagueta which is not far from the city center, just around half an hour’s walk away.
### Learn about Malaga’s history at the Alcazaba
The Alcazaba is an ancient Moorish fortress built between 1057 and 1063. It is undoubtedly one of the most iconic monuments not only in Malaga but also in Spain, as it showcases and tells stories about the Islamic rule period in the country.
As you enter, you will be able to explore the remains of the ancient defensive structures, the patios, palaces, gardens, and so much more. While you are there, make sure you also visit the Castle of Gibralfaro.
### Connect with nature at the botanical garden
Escape from the city and visit Malaga’s botanical garden La Concepción, which will make you feel like you’re in the middle of a jungle! In these beautiful gardens, you will find more than 25,000 plants, each of them blooming at different times.
To avoid crowds, it is recommended to visit either during the week or early in the morning. You will need at least two to three hours to explore it all!
### Taste the local dishes
Malaga is also known for its unique cuisine, where seafood is the protagonist, so make sure you try one of these local dishes during your stay:
Espetos de sardinas: grilled sardines, it is considered a healthy dish, as only salt and a tiny bit of oil are added.
Pipirrana malagueña: if seafood is not up your alley, here is a summery dish that you will love! It is a salad that consists of diced onion, cucumber, bell pepper, tomato, olive oil, and salt. But keep in mind that it can be accompanied by clams, prawns, or other seafood.
When is the best time to visit Malaga
If you are visiting Malaga mainly for its beaches, the best time to visit is at the beginning of summer or towards the end of it, as the middle of summer is very hot. In May and early June, the temperatures range around 77°F to 82°F (25°C- 28°C), which is the perfect beach weather. September is also a great month to visit, as the water will still be warm and there will be fewer people.
For those who don’t mind skipping the beach, winter (December to February) is also a great time to visit Malaga, as the temperatures range from 50°F to 64°F (10°C to 18°C), which is a perfect temperature to explore the city without crowds.

“I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.”
“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

“We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.”
“We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable”
“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Our experience with Daytrip was excellent. They communicated with us well and helped us feel reassured at every stage of our planning. We had a transfer from Malaga Airport directly to our accommodation in Seville (2.5 hour drive). Francisco was waiting for us in the Arrivals area holding a sign with our name on it. He was a calm and careful driver while also answering our questions and pointing out interesting things along the way. He delivered us to the exact place we asked, even though it was a complicated part of old Sevilla.
Due to COVID, we were reluctant to take the trains, so we appreciate this option.
We will do this more often as it made our arrival so much easier and less hectic, especially after a long over-night flight!
Highly recommend.”
“Very simple booking process for our journey from Seville to Malaga. Door to door service, big, clean and comfortable car. Convenient without the risk and stress of missing a bus/train.
Ruben is a very careful, friendly and professional driver. He was well prepared with suggestions for the Christmas celebrations at Malaga. Would rate him beyond "Excellent". A special thank you to Ruben!
Will will definitely use DayTrip for future transfers.”
“Fizemos um transfer em junho de 2019 de Sevilha a Málaga com uma parada em Ronda.
Desde o inicio a comunicação foi imediata e mesmo com trocas de endereços que nós fizemos, deu tudo certo.
O motorista Samir, impecável: atencioso e pontual! No caminho nos foi dando informações sobre os lugares que passávamos.
Super recomendo a Daytrip!”
