Málaga Travel Forum

Will be driving down from Granada thru Motril and south east toward Gibralter. Need an inexpensive overnite, non hostel, on beach side, anywhere between Almunecar and Malaga. Some mentioned: Almunecar Playa, Bahia Tropical, Arrayanes Playa, Best Alcazar (on Marina del Este...not the other one;), Elimar, Proamar, and El Rancho.

One with the most votes from you guys and gals wins :)

Muchas Gracias (with my Catalunya tongue tween my teeth :)

I want to take a day trip to Gibraltar from Malaga. I will be there early November and do not want to rent a car. Does anyone have a suggestion about tour company or car/driver hire? I understand it is is better to go only to the border and walk across and take a local tour. Is there bus service form the city to the border?

Hello

I will be in Malaga for over a week and thought I'd like to visit Morocco too. Can anyone suggest ferry service?

Thanks again

Hi - flying into Malaga airport next week, anyone have any experience of the various hire car companies at the airport? recommendations or horror stories...? I plan to drive down the coast to Tarifa over the week and back again....
Also, any nice stop off points along the way. Keen to avoid the whole brit abroad thing, see some culture..
Cheers for any help!

I'll be celebrating the Big Four-O on Friday, 2nd October and will be going to Malaga for an extended weekend with my friends, currently 8 people confirmed, this could increase to about 10 or 11. I have not been to Malaga before and would welcome any suggestions anyone has for a nice restaurant with a great atmosphere where we could spend the evening enjoying tasty food and good wine. English-speaking staff would be helpful as only one of us speaks a little Spanish. The place should offer a nice and affordable selection of wines and cava and mix of meat and fish dishes. Ideally, we wouldn't want to spend more than EUR50 a head maximum. Thanks for your help! Nic

I'm planning a trip for about 8- 17/18 year old girls and I'm obviously trying to get it as cheap as possible and looking for an area with great nightlife. Malaga has been suggested to me as suitable for what I'm looking for. I was wondering could you give me any decent quality (1/2/3*) cheap hotels or apartments to rent and names of good clubbing aareas? We would like to be fairly central to the nightlife aspect and close to the beach or infact a hotel/apartment with a swimming pool. Thankss!

We are visiting Malaga next week and are aware of an amazing wine/sherry bodega in the centre of Malaga where its all from barrels and the prices are chalked on the old wooden bar, and it has great tapas. Please can anyone assist me with the location of this place?

We will be in Malaga for one week and will depart from Faro, PT. What is the best way to get to the Faro Airport. I thought we might spend one night at a location closer to Faro along the coast of Spain. Not sure how long it will take to drive from Malaga to Faro. Is driving the best option? Thank you for any information you can provide.

Hi! We will be having a 5-hour stop over in Malaga from Barcelona to New Castle. Is it possible to visit Alcazaba? What is the cheapest way to get there just to take some pictures and not miss our airplane? If it's not possible to go there, is there any place we can go for some sight-seeing near the airport so we can maximize our trip?

Thanks!

Hi
I will be visiting Malaga in May and was wondering if anybody knows of any art galleries or studios that are run by artists themselves, that showcase the work of emerging and more established artists.

I will certainly be visiting the established art galleries and museums, such as Picasso museum and the Contemporary Art Centre but was also hoping to find some more 'alternative' venues.

I know Malaga has a thriving 'alternative' music scene - does this apply to the art scene as well?

I've scoured the net but with no luck - I think I need help from someone who knows Malaga pretty well!
I'd really appreciate any help with this, thanks.

Hello!!

Quick question..

Is there just one bus terminal in Malaga or several. My mum will be travelling from La Linea to Malaga on Thursday on a Portillo Bus, and then going onto Almeria on an Alsa Bus. The same goes for her return, but she was wondering if Portillo and Alsa buses operate from the same bus terminal in Malaga as she only has a 15min gap between her change of bus.

Thanks for all the info you can give!

Sugarpuff!

There will be 2 of us visiting Malaga in March 09 and we would like to have a private room (shared bath ok). Can anyone recommend a good place to stay? We will arrive and leave by train.

Sorry, but my engslish is too bad...
I'm interesting is it possible to do if we have a hostel in malaga. I mean if our trip to Tanjer start early morning and can we be in Malaga same day? Which is the fastest way to do this?

Hi, we are a family of 5 travelling to Malaga in August this year, I have had some crazy quotes for a transfer from the airport to Miraflores where we are staying. I have found out that a taxi outside the airport would cost us 40 Euros each way which is a fair price but I am unsure as to whether they have people carriers as taxi's. We would obviously not be able to fit into a standard 5 seater car, any suggestions would be fantastic!

We will be visiting Malaga in May just for a day. How accessible is the city from the port? Can we explore the town on our own? If not what sort of transportation should we get? From the port, do they have the hop on hop off buses that you can take for the day? Interesting places to see and do in Malaga?

Hi,
We are going to Malaga on July 11th for 2 weeks and need to hire a 7 seater people carrier.
Can anyone suggest somewhere to hire one as everywhere I have looked is ridiculously expensive?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm coming to Malaga by way of Seville Airport.

What are my options in terms of getting to Malaga? Bus? Train?

thanks

Hi

I would be traveling from Granada to Malaga by train in my coming Spain trip.

I understand that I would need to change train at the Bobadilla Station. I intend to take the train leaving from Granada at 7.15am and arriving at Bobadilla at 8.56am. The soonest train that leaves Bobadilla to Malaga is at 9.13am.

Can anyone advise:

1. Will I be able to make it on time for the train transfer since it is such a shor time frame? I do not know how big is Bobadilla train station and whether my arriving train platform and departure train platform is near or far from each other.

2. Will there be any chances that my first train from Granada to Bobadilla be late and hence miss the train from Bobadilla to Malaga?

Help to the above will be much appreciated.

We are arriving Malaga, Monday 15 decembre via train from Madrid and need to pick up car at airport. Is it best to taxi or another train?

I am looking for a long term car parking (1 to 3 months) in Malaga reasonably cheap and preferably no too far from airport. Can somebody help here? Thanks. Xazy

We will be stopping in Malaga for one day on a cruise..from 8am to 6pm....is it feasible to try to go to The Alhambra? I know it is quite a drive.

We will be there on November 1, 2009....All Saint's Day....and I'm presuming that everything in town will be closed. So, our only option is really to take a tour (if tour guides are working that day)

Or, can anyone give me some other suggestions as to what to do while there for a day?

Thank you very much for any information. :)

Hello,

I was wondering if someone knows where I can access the elevator going up to the Alcazaba. I know that there is an entrance near the Roman theater but don't know where I can take the elevator.

Thank you for any help you may give.
