Málaga destination brief: typical return fares from the UK, the cheapest months to fly, where to stay and what to do in the city.
Updated
Far too stylish to be just a pitstop. Think sleek Picasso museums, upscale seafood chiringuitos, and a distinct lack of basic tourist vibes. Use Málaga as a city break, a winter sun escape or the start of an Andalucía road trip.
Fly in spring or autumn for warm days without the August crowd. The city is compact, the food is excellent and the airport is a short train ride from the centre.
