Málaga travel tips
1) In Málaga, you won’t notice much of the Spanish siesta | The siesta is a real thing in Spain. Still, it is not as evident in many major cities and tourist destinations as in small towns and villages. In Málaga, large stores remain open all day. However, small shops usually close at 13:00 and 14:00. They reopen at around 17:00 and work till 21:30. Take that into consideration when you plan your day! |
---|---|
2) Visit the Plaza de la Merced — one of the most beautiful squares in Málaga | The Torrijos Monument, a large obelisk, dominates this picturesque square in the city centre. Pablo Picasso and some other renowned Spanish artists lived nearby. Don’t miss the Picasso statue and the museum devoted to this famous painter. The blossoms on the trees in the square can be spectacular. Besides, it has an excellent array of cafes and bars to choose from. If you are lucky, you’ll see a flamenco street dance performance. |
3) The quality of free Wi-Fi is quite poor in Málaga | Officially, free Wi-Fi from the Málaga City Council should be available in the city centre. You can get a good signal behind the tourist office on Plaza de la Marina. But in other places, you can hardly rely on free Wi-Fi. Most hotels provide their own networks. However, not all cafes, bars and restaurants follow that example. Besides, those Wi-Fi networks usually require a password you can learn from the waiting staff after you’ve made your order. Make sure to check your roaming charges before the trip. |
