 | Málaga Tourist Traps | Tips 1 - 10 of 14 |  |
by Senoritasmile If you're keen to sample authentic Spain and not British seaside ghettos, then avoid the over-commercialised resorts to the West of Malaga along the Costa del Sol. If you manage to find anything remotely connected with spanish culture, you'll be charged tourist prices for mediocre food and entertaiment. If you looking for Britain and all things Briitsh with sun thrown in.. then fill your boots!
Try and hunt out small, spanish bars that serve traditional tapas free with each drink.
If you're staying in this area and are disappointed by what it has to offer, hire a car or check out the buses to explore some of the places mentionned in VT members 'off the beaten path' tips.

by pginer As sasid before, Malaga lives to the sea. And the lighthouse to light boats and ships during the night is just in the middle of the city, close to the port. Sorry: a bit dark. It was the sunset when I took the pic ... Leave a Comment

by pginer Other cities all over Spain which are built close to the sea do not live "to the sea". I mean, ports are out of the city and their sorroundings are poor: normal people do not go there. Some cities such as Valencia and Barcelona are making an effort to approach the city to the sea. But Malaga is not like that. The city lives in the beach and the port is in the middle of the city. Good experience! Leave a Comment

 horse carriage ride by ayesh Like in many larger cities you will find people who want to give tourists a special ride around the town. In Málaga you can sit yourself down in a carriage and let the horses guide you through the streets. I don´t know the prices anymore, but I do know that it was very expensive. I didn´t try it because of this... maybe it would have been worth it, but I chose to use my feet. Leave a Comment

All over Europe there are very poor people, I can`t believe that they are really wealthy and just go out begging or busking for something to do. If the situation is right don`t be embarrassed to be the one person who gives something. As the song goes, another day for you and me in Paradise. Unfortunately there are mentally ill people, drug users and alchoholics who may seem threatening and giving is the last thing on your mind, I respect this point of view. Fortunately the people begging in Malaga weren`t too bad although they did seem to arrive in waves. It`s sad that we can`t solve these problems and have to walk or turn away sometimes. It looks like the onus is on the authorities to keep this to a minimum because it can be awkward for tourists. Leave a Comment

The Cathedral charges entrance fees. I think it is not worth paying to visit as it is not that impressive. There are many better cathedrals than this. Leave a Comment

by nieldy Puerto Banus. A nice looking place but a bit 'Egg and Chips' in places. It has a Linekers Bar - enough said. Leave a Comment

by gabriellefox Parking in Malaga City centre is problematic. Spaces are scarce even in Winter, and it isn't very clear which areas are permitted for parking and at what times. If you are going to park in the city centre try to use one of the underground car parks.
If possible use another means of transport. Public transpost is good and makes for a bit of an adventure. Study up on travel words in your Spanish Dictionary as many bus drivers and train staff do not speak English at all.
If you need to park your car in a secure location for more than a couple of hours you can use a company called Easy Parking based at Malaga Airport. They have a courtesy bus service which will take you to the airport and pick you up again included in the price. Leave a Comment
