    For nicer beaches head to Pedregalejo or El Palo to the east of the city. Here you will also find the best fish and seafood restaurants.
    Whilst paella is available in Málaga it is mainly for tourists and made with seafood (i.e. not traditional). When ordering ask how long it will take. Many of the cheaper restaurants make the paella in advance, so you are served a lukewarm stodgy mess. For good, fresh, paella expect a wait of at least 30 minutes. In Málaga we are more likely to eat arroz (rice) dishes; they are similar, but different, to paella and are eaten for lunch. The best place in the centre of town is Beluga in Plaza de Flores.
    Since this video was made Café Central has closed. However, there are still plenty of small, local, cafés and I would ask you to frequent them instead of the overpriced international chains.
    Most of the museums are free on Sundays.
    I appreciate your tips on how to dress. Yes we are on the coast, but Málaga is still a working city. Walking around town in your swimwear is really inappropriate, and is an absolute no no in restaurants.
    Another little piece of advice when it comes to eating out. Tipping your server is not taboo in Spain. You don’t have to leave much (the 15-20% rule doesn’t apply), but a few coins or a euro is appreciated.
    Don’t forget, also, that there is a train every 20 minutes from the airport into the centre of town which costs about 2 euros.

    You missed out the train from the airport. Super quick and convenient and for around 2 Euros into Malaga Centro. Right opposite the airport arrivals and takes around 15 minutes. Arrive at the train station and it's around a 15 minute walk to the old town, or get an Uber

    Great content and provides lots of ideas during our visit! We're contemplating options between flying into Madrid versus Malaga. We're staying in Airbnb in Bahia de Casares, Andalucia attending the Solheim Cup. Wondering how much time to plan from travel between locations. If we train from Madrid, thats 2+ hours as you shared, but don't have a gage for the extra time/effort for the rest of the commute. Thoughts?

    • @TheAbundantTraveler
      @TheAbundantTraveler  9 місяців тому

      I would say whatever works best for you. When I first arrive in a Country, I like taking a plane all the way to the final destination instead of airports and train stations when I am jetlagged. Just my thoughts. Thanks for watching the video and have a great trip.

    Hi I just suscribed to your channel!
    Never order a paella if you are not in Valencia Where that dish is from.
    A ride from Málaga airport to the city centre is quite expensive if you take a taxi.So yeah it's much better cabyfi or ubber. I'm a 41 years old guy who works as an airline pilot for a company based in Málaga and i'm from Málaga too so i'm very Lucky.
    I like your content and by the way you look beautyful! Such a gourgeos girl!
