18:00 Arrive in Maria Zambrano
Whether you are driving into to the city or taking the bus or train from the airport, you will more than likely start your journey off near Maria Zambrano station. From here you are a 15 minute walk from the centre. We recommend touring the city on foot, the best way to sight-see in our opinion.

Let’s leave the main strolling until tomorrow. It’s time to relax and take in the Malaga evening atmosphere. For us, the very first place to stop is La Terraza La Alcazaba, a roof top bar that overlooks the Alcazaba itself as well as the Malaga skyline. Order a cocktail and soak it all in! (the coconut mojitos are especially delicious).

14:00 Lunch
Is there anything better than sitting in the sun and ordering a tapa or two?
Our current favourite spot is La Farola De Orellana, a small tapas bar that is usually packed to the rafters with locals. Stand at the bar, order a couple of cañas of Victoria beer and order their spicy potatoes, papas a la mala leche, literally translated to bad tempered potatoes. The atmosphere is buzzing.
15:00 A wonder down to the port
After a couple of cervezas and some food, you are a hop skip and a jump from Malaga port; a great place to stroll, watch the ships come in and have a coffee and an ice cream.
