Malaga is a city located in the southern region of Spain, on the Costa del Sol. The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with evidence of settlements dating back to the Bronze Age. Over the centuries, the region has been ruled by various civilizations, each of which has left its mark on the city. The Phoenicians were the first civilization to establish a settlement in Malaga, around 770 BC. They established a trading post and called the city 'Malaka'. The Greeks followed, establishing a colony in the city in the 6th century BC, which lasted for several centuries. In the 3rd century BC, the Carthaginians took control of Malaga, followed by the Romans in the 2nd century BC. The Romans expanded the city, building an aqueduct, amphitheatre, and other impressive structures. During this time, Malaga became an important port and commercial centre. The Visigoths took control of Malaga in the 5th century AD, followed by the Moors. The Moors greatly influenced the city, introducing new architectural styles, such as the famous Alcazaba Fortress and the Gibralfaro Castle. The city also became an important cultural centre, with scholars and poets flocking to Malaga. In 1487, the city was conquered by the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella during the Reconquista. Malaga became an important centre of the Inquisition, which saw many non-Christians persecuted and killed. The city experienced a period of decline during the 16th and 17th centuries. During the 19th and 20th centuries, Malaga experienced a resurgence, with new industries such as textiles and agriculture driving growth. In the 20th century, the city also became a popular tourist destination, with its sunny climate, beaches, and rich cultural heritage attracting visitors from around the world.
Getting Around Malaga Spain
Málaga is a pretty small city and very easy to navigate on foot. If you stay at a hotel or apartment in the city center, you will be able to walk pretty much everywhere. If you want to get to some of the beaches in other parts of the city, the bus network is very easy to use. I simply put the location of where I want to go into Google Maps and then choose the public transportation option. This will tell you exactly where the bus stop is, what time the bus is due to arrive, which stop to get off at, and then where to walk to get exactly where you want to be from the bus stop. From exploring the antiquities to indulging on Tapas, let's look at the what to do in Malaga with something for everybody.
From exploring the antiquities to indulging on Tapas, let's look at the what to do in Malaga with something for everybody.
1 Check Out The Alcazaba
An ancient Moorish fortress set above the city of Malaga and built to defend it, the Alcazaba is a must visit in this city.
You can walk up to the monument from the city centre – you can easily see it from almost anywhere in Malaga's old town – and the ticket kiosk is about half way up the hill. Here you can get a single entry ticket (€3.50) or you can get a combined entrance ticket that grants you access to the nearby Gibralfaro Castle too.
After gaining entry, continue the climb up to wander the fabulous ruins of this 1st century fortress that was built by Arabs ruler and predates even the Nasrid Kingdom. Spending an hour strolling and snapping this structure is a lovely thing to do in the afternoon, especially if you time it with golden hour, when the views over the city and to the ocean beyond are spectacular.
It opens at 9am and last entry is at 7:30pm.
Alcazaba History
A fortress built between 1057 and 1063 by the Moorish rulers, Malaga's Alcazaba was intended as both a defence structure to protect the city and as a place for its leaders to enjoy life... and what a place to put a palace! Situated on an elevated piece of ground above the city (a city which has retained the same name throughout history), the Alcazaba also offered its inhabitants excellent views over the sea and surrounding countryside, making it a key vantage point to spot any potential invaders.
Using materials from the Roman Theatre below (which was actually only rediscovered in 1951), the Alcazaba was later captured by the rulers of the Nasrid Empire – yes the same crew who built the Alhambra in Granada – who converted it into an even more beautiful place for the ruling elite to live and enjoy. Later the Alcazaba was joined to the neighbouring Gibralfaro Castle and today you can visit both under 1 combined ticket – although access to them is via separate means.
The best-preserved alcazaba (which means Citadel in Arabic) in Spain today, this epic spot in Malaga is famous for being home to a 3 month long siege, during which its 110 towers came in very handy! Now the Alcazaba is a more set of ruins but, having been well-preserved and cared for, it can still be enjoyed by visitors to Malaga and is a great and affordable tourist attraction.
Things to Know Before Your Visit
Facilities are thin on the ground at the Alcazaba, so go to the toilet before you arrive!
You may also want to bring some water and snacks with you to enjoy at the top,
There is a small café onsite, but for budget travellers, bringing your own nibbles is the key!
It's also worth noting there's lots of walking to do in the Alcazaba and to get here you'll have to climb a fairly steep hill, so sensible footwear is a really good idea! There's also not much shade, so a sunhat for protection and sunglasses is certainly a good idea in the summer months.
A good daypack you can carry all your gear in – camera, guidebook, water, snacks, sunhat etc – and keep your hands free, is another top item to bring.
And you'll want to bring cash or a card to pay for the entrance ticket as well.
2 Hike to the Gibralfaro Castle
As I mentioned above, you can actually visit the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle in Malaga under one ticket – which is a top budget hack if you're looking to explore both attractions in this city.
Not to be missed, another one of the top things to do in Malaga is definitely to climb to the top of this castle, which sits above the city and has an even more impressive lookout than the Alcazaba, mostly thanks to the fact it sits higher. Needless to say, it is a hike to get up here, but one that should put you off exploring this wonderful 10th century fortification, which is most famous for the 3 month siege that took place here.
You can walk around the ramparts, which is a delightful experience, especially in the morning or early evening when you avoid the midday heat and are likely to get the clearest views.
An hour and a half is a good amount of time to do it justice.
3 Visit the Cathedral
Next up on the list of Malaga icons you can’t miss, it’s the city’s wonderful Cathedral. Built in two different styles because it took so long to construct, the local nickname for this building is La Manquita, which translates as the “one handed lady”, so you can ask locals for directions to this place if you get lost! But you shouldn’t get lost because this huge church sits at the centre of the historic quarter and can be seen from all around. Amazingly, it’s still not been finished! But its missing tower only adds to its charm!
Don’t miss heading inside to see the Baroque choir stalls and the look for the clues that give away how this Cathedral actually occupies the site of the former Mosque of Malaga.
The Cathedral is free to enter on Sunday morning, otherwise you can buy tickets at the entrance.
4. See the Roman Theatre
And sticking with the sightseeing theme and the history slant, another thing you have to do in Malaga is visit the Roman Theatre
At the foot of the Alcazaba, you can actually enjoy a tour that takes you to both these monuments and fills you in on all the heritage surrounding them. Check out this top-rated option. Otherwise, the Roman theatre in Malaga is free to enter – a feat you couldn’t enjoy until 1995 when it was only fully excavated for the first time!
To be fair, it wasn’t even re-discovered until 1951 – pretty mind-blowing when you think that this huge structure was sitting just below the city streets!
5 Explore the Picasso Museu
I will start with my favorite e Pablo Picasso quote : “A picture is not thought out and settled beforehand. While it is being done it changes as one's thoughts change. And when it is finished, it still goes on changing, according to the state of mind of whoever is looking at it." :) Yes, I love reading this quote every time.
In homage to this city’s most famous export (closely followed by Antonio Baderas!), this museum is situated in the street where Picasso went to school.
Tickets cost 8€ and are best booked online in advance to skip the line and grab an audio guide that explains more about this great artist, his life and work.
6 Eat ALL The Tapas & Pinchos in the Old Town
If there’s one street that’s a rite of passage for tapas in Malaga, then it’s Calle Granada.
A busy, narrow alley in the historic centre, it is home to several of the city’s most famous and popular restaurants for affordable tapas (small plates) and pinchos (similar, but with a slice of bread as the base).
They include:
El Pimpi | Already a local institution, it gained an even bigger reputation when Antonio Banderas (another hometown hero) became a shareholder in 2017. This is absolutely the place that every tourist has on their itinerary, and it’s permanently busy, but its sprawling multi-room interior and pleasant outdoor area means you can usually get a table without a reservation (but for dinner or weekends in high season, I recommend booking). Sincerely, I found the food and presentation to underwhelming and the mobile-based menu frustrating.
Casa Lola | A whirlwind of an atmosphere inside, but it works. I really enjoyed our meal here, with a excellent house wine and delicious berenejas. Often a queue outside to get a table. Not to be confused with Pez Lola, which is on the same street and equally popular, but more heavily focused on seafood.
La Campana | This was recommended to me by a few people, but I didn’t eat here!
7. A Drink At La Bodega Antigua Casa de Guardia
A place that must be protected at all costs, Antigua Casa de Guardia is one of the most unique (and memorable) places you'll ever have a drink at. With tapped oak barrels of Malaga's signature sweet wines and vermouths, it's got a decor that seemingly hasn't changed much since it opened in 1840, a tab system where the running total is scribbled in chalk on the wooden bar, and the curious aroma of spilled sweet wine straight from the barrel abounds. The crowd ebbs and flows between lots of locals and lots of tourists, with the former running to a different schedule than the latter, but it somehow manages to retain a good atmosphere whenever I stopped by for a tipple.
This is a place where you simply walk in one of three doors, stand at the bar, take your pick from one of the dozen or so barrels, watch them fill it up from source, sip from your short glass, and repeat. There are no tables, and the service from the white-shirted men straddles gruff to friendly depending who you get, but everything adds to the atmosphere. There's small, super authentic plates of tapas to accompany your drink, but do note that those served here are the typical small plates that are often served across Spain with a drink, rather than combined into as a standalone meal - think of it as a fancier-feeling version of a scotch egg and shared pack of crisps.
Where + When | Open every day from 11am, closing at 10pm during the week, 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and 3pm on Sundays.
8 Enjoy Modern Art At The Pompidou & The CAC
If that cultural transformation I talked about earlier started with the election of Francisco de la Torre and the Picasso museum at the beginning of the new milennium, it reached its zenith when the Pompidou opened its doors. Paris's famous inside-out colourful art centre selected Málaga to host its first and (so far) only outpost outside France, a significant cultural coup for the city's credentials*. Benefitting from the curation and collection of the French version, the Málaga Pompidou focuses on 20th and 21st century art in its frequently refreshed permanent collection, with two or three temporary exhibits usually focusing on modern works too. It makes sense to pair a stop with your visit to Mercado Central de Atarazanas.
This, alongside the free Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Málaga in the SOHO district, were two of our very favourite things to do in Málaga. Modern and contemporary art galleries may not be everyone's cup of tea, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take a sip every now and again to see if your tastes have changed. Whilst the Pompidou gets far more visitors due to its brand recognition and locations (yet still fewer than I would expect), the CAC holds its own. Situated within a large converted wholesale market building between the edge of the historic centre and the graffiti-strewn Guadalmedina River, it principally showcases emerging Spanish artists and a variety of styles and mediums (it introduced us to the pitch black humour of cartoonist Joan Cornella). Exhibitions change every few months.
Where + When | The Centre Pompidou Málaga is open 9.30am-8pm every day except Tuesdays. To visit both the permanent and semi-permanent exhibitions, it's €9 for adults or €7 for concessions, and you can buy official advance tickets here or here. A free audioguide is included, and you should set aside up to two hours to fully appreciate it. Admission is free on Sundays after 4pm. Most of the complex is underground, but you can easily find the entrance by heading toward its signature colourful cube on the seafront (here on Google Maps). This marina area near the entrance is known as Muelle Uno (maps), and it's seen a lot of redevelopment shaped around tourism and cruise ships, with shops, bars, and restaurants along the waterfront: I didn't like it but feel free to stroll along before or after the art and make your own judgement.
In the other direction, Palmeral de Las Sorpresas walkway is quite pleasant though, with a few places to drink, markets stalls, and occasional live music. The nearby Parque de Malaga is also a nice, quiet spot for a break from the sun and a stroll in the verdant shade.
9. Have A Day at Malaga’s Beaches
Despite our overwhelmingly positive experience of Malaga, there is one element of the city that let us down - the beach.
Whether it was due to the area being so known as a holiday destination, that I’ve been fortunate to visit some of the world’s most incredible beaches, or not long come off a couple of weeks on the gorgeous Oaxacan coast in Mexico, but the long, wide stretch of dark sand that lines Malaga’s coastline was disappointing.
So, whilst I don’t recommend heading here for purely a beach holiday, the local beach will do you fine for a few hours. And, if you’re simply desperate for sunshine after a long winter, it’ll do you good too on your city break. Called La Malagueta, the main city beach is actually artificial, man-made with dark sand shipped in from the Sahara. Just a flat 10-minute walk from the historical centre, it’s lined with a cluster of more modern buildings, the type of which are all too common along the Costa del Sol thanks to its boom as an international tourism destination in the 1970s. You can rent chairs and parasols (€14/day), there small places to eat and drink running alongside it, public toilets available, and the sea conditions are suitable for swimming. Find it here on Google Maps.
There are a few others small beaches further east along the city’s coastline which some of you may prefer: Playa Pedregalejo (maps) and Playas del Palo (maps). You can walk to them along the waterfront, but you may prefer to rent a cycle or catch the bus - you can find some great accommodation options there in this post. Alternatively, you may prefer to enjoy the coastline with a glass of cava in hand on this sunset sailing catamaran experience, or during the day on a popular one-hour scenic sailing trip.
10. The Port of Málaga and its seafront promenade
The Port of Málaga is much more than a place of trade. It has a charming seafront promenade lined with palm trees and restaurants with outdoor patios that offer a delicious variety of dishes from Spanish cuisine. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing stroll overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, while you enjoy a delicious Andalusian tapa or two.
In addition, the Port of Málaga is an important entry point for cruise ships that sail through the Mediterranean. This makes it an epicentre of tourism, where visitors can explore the city before continuing their trip, or enjoy local excursions.
Likewise, throughout the year, the Port of Málaga is the scene of cultural events and festivals that celebrate music, art and nightlife. If you’re not sure what to do or see in Málaga, the port is a place where culture comes to life on every corner.
11. The Farola de Málaga, icon of the city
The Lighthouse of Málaga, located in the Port of Málaga, is one of the oldest lighthouses in Spain, second only to the Torre de Hércules in A Coruña, in addition to being one of the two Spanish lighthouses with a feminine name. Its construction ended in the 19th century, in 1817, during the reign of Ferdinand VII. Since then, it has been witness to numerous historical events and changes over the years.
The architecture of La Farola is distinctive, with a square–based tower that rises over a two–storey building. Its design combines Neo–classical and Neo–Mudéjar elements, and its white colour makes it especially visible at the entrance to the port. In addition to its historical and architectural importance, La Farola continues to fulfil its main function as a lighthouse, guiding the boats to the Port of Málaga and facilitating navigation on the coast. This lighthouse has become an iconic symbol of the city of Málaga and is widely recognised by both the local inhabitants and the visitors, the reasons why Málaga is known as the “lighthouse of the Costal del Sol”. It has become a recommended stop for anyone wishing to get to know the city of Málaga and be an integral part of Málaga’s maritime identity.
12. Walk along in Calle Larios
Formally known as Calle del Marqués del Larios, it remains the most emblematic street in Malaga since its opening in 1891. It connects two major squares (Plaza de la Constitución and Plaza de la Marina). Along this pleasant pedestrian promenade, locals and visitors can hop from shops to various bars and restaurants. There is also a monument dedicated to the second Marquis of Larios, Don Manuel Domingo Larios y Larios.
13 Stroll through the squares of the historic center
Practical advice
Visit duration: between 45min and 1h, not including window shopping!
If you’re a shopping enthusiast, head for Calle Marqués de Larios, where you’ll find a host of international names, or be surprised by the handicraft and second-hand stores!
Opening hours: 24/7. And don’t forget to come back and take a tour of the town at night, as many buildings are beautifully lit.
Difficulties: None, but bring comfortable shoes to withstand the shock of the cobblestones! And don’t forget a hat on sunny days, when the streets are full of sunshine.
Parking: I recommend Parking Malaga Centre, in Calle Marqués, and continuing on foot.
Eating out: You won’t be able to resist one of the many tempting restaurants for long, and I already recommend the excellent Restaurant Beluga on the ever-bustling Plaza de las Flores!
14 Admire Spanish painting at the Carmen Thyssen Museum
The Carmen Thyssen Museum is a veritable nugget for lovers of Spanish art!
Housed in the magnificent 16th-century Palacio de Villalón, this museum offers a panorama of Spanish painting, from romantic landscapes to naturalism and costume scenes. A variety of themes, colors and techniques that I loved discovering! The permanent collection also includes over 230 paintings by great masters such as José Moreno Carbonero, Joaquín Sorolla and Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo. See more photos in our dedicated article, coming soon.
15 Chill in the Arab Baths
I visited the Arab Baths Hammam Al-Ándalus, which have a range of bath and treatments to “connect you to your inner nature”.
It’s a fantastic place to slow the pace of life down, switching between the different baths, relaxation rooms, steam rooms and cold-water pools. You relax and drink tea until you’re called for your treatment.
I snapped my photos when the bath was empty since you can’t bring your phone in—and honestly, why would you want to?
16 Walk Through the Historical Botanical Garden
Home to one of the most beautiful gardens in the region and one of the best things to do in Malaga on a trip to the city, the Botanical Garden is just so stunning to see. Referred locally as La Concepción Jardín Botánico – you honestly can’t miss it.
Over the years, the passionate team have amassed over 25,000 species of plants, which they’ll show off as much as they can.
Once here, take a stroll and learn more about the ecosystems and the preservation work that goes on behind the scenes.
One thing to note, it can get really intense in the sun, so make sure to take a hat, sunblock and water with you. If you want some shade, pop over to the gazebo and admire the tremendous view.
17 Relax in Parque de Malaga
Surrounded by palm trees and loads of trails, Parque de Malaga is pretty big. In fact, you can spend a few hours strolling the park and Jardines de Pedro Luis Alonso which was opened in the 1800s.
Once here, make sure to spot the sculptures of; Ninfa de la Caracola, Escultura del Fiestero and the Monument of Salvador Rueda which stands proudly on the grounds.
Afterwards, head over to Casa Lola Strachan for their delicious tapas. You’ll leave stuffed after all the pates!
18 Climb the breathtaking Caminito del Rey
Caminito del Rey is the perfect place for hiking enthusiasts to immerse themselves in a sublime natural setting! Cut into the side of a cliff for the construction of a dam at the beginning of the 20th century, this path has now been rehabilitated as a hiking trail.
I gave it a try and loved this shot of nature!
After an initial walk in the forest, I took narrow paths through breathtaking scenery, observing the flora and fauna along the way.
The ultimate challenge: crossing the 100m-high suspension bridge between the narrow gorges!
Practical advice
Access: 1 hour's drive from Malaga
Duration: between 3h and 5h for a 7.5km one-way hike
Times: depending on weather conditions, please note that reservations must be made at least 1 month in advance if you are coming on your own. Difficulties: uneven ground, steep steps, a suspension bridge to cross. Bring water, as there is no spring on the trail, and good shoes. Please note that the hike is forbidden to children under 8, and that helmets must be worn.
Price: €10 (entrance to the site), €18 (entrance + guided tour), between €30 and €60 (excursion)
Parking: yes, on-site parking. Plan to arrive at least 30min in advance to have time to park before going to your hiking slot.
Catering: yes, several stands with drinks and snacks at the end of the course
19 Discover the atmosphere of the Malaga Market
I didn't want to leave Malaga without visiting the Atarazanas market! It's a fun way to discover local culture while filling up on good food, in a vitamin-packed atmosphere! The place is worth a visit for its wrought-iron façade (built in the 19th century on the site of former Muslim wine cellars) and its splendid, colorful glass roof. Those who come early can hope to secure a seat at one of the few tables available. Otherwise, you can do as the locals do, eating standing up at the stall counters or taking your spoils to one of the town's green spaces.
Traditional food from Malaga
As a city by the Mediterranean Sea, fish is the go-to food in Málaga, particularly deep-fried fish.
When walking along the boardwalks, you will notice plenty of beach bars and seaside restaurants (known as ‘chiringuitos‘) grilling various types of fish. The most popular dish is fresh sardines (‘espetos de sardinas‘), which are skewered and grilled, usually inside traditional fishing boats full of sand, only seasoned with a bit of olive oil and sea salt. Order a cold beer, enjoy and thank me later! 🙂 Other typical dishes you can sample in Málaga and around the province include: ajoblanco (a cold soup made of garlic and almonds served with grapes), berza malagueña (a stew consisting of vegetables and meat), gazpachuelo malagueño (a fish soup), or porra antequerana (a thicker variation of the traditional gazpacho and salmorejo that is also served cold).
The last thing you can’t miss when visiting Málaga is experiencing ‘tapeo‘, that is trying tapas, which are snacks that can be either served cold or hot, and can be combined to make a full meal.
Pro tip: for a cheap and quick snack head to the chain restaurant 100 montaditos for Spanish mini sandwiches. Eating out in big cities can be pricey, so this was a nice option for a quick bite on a budget.
20 Street art in Malaga’s Soho and Cruz de Humilladero district
Soho is the neighbourhood behind the CAC (contemporary art centre) and was one of our big favourites in Malaga. This area is experiencing a real revival since an initiative called MAUS (Malaga urban arts Soho) has transformed it into a street art district. Just one piece of advice, keep at least 2 hours to walk around this area, taking the time to admire the different graffiti that decorate the buildings.
21 Málaga neighbourhood: El Perchel
El Perchel's one of the oldest neighborhoods in Málaga. It’s a lot less touristy than the Old town, Soho and La Merced, as El Perchel's more of a working-class neighborhood. Many people who live in this area have a job related to the ocean. If you’re a fish lover, El Perchel might be heaven! You can find some of the freshest seafood here. Not that much into eating (or working with) fish? You can still enjoy the authenticity of El Perchel nevertheless!
.JPG)
Internationality
El Perchel's located a bit outside of the city centre, making it less attractive to internationals. However, El Perchel's a hidden gem if you like to live in a more traditional neighborhood. Imagine yourself stepping out of your door, walking around in the narrow streets of Málaga. This can be your new reality.
22 Málaga neighbourhood: La Malagueta
If you’d like to live close to the sea, La Malagueta's the area for you! With a 1,200m long beach spanning from Puerto de Málaga to Playa de La Caleta some call La Malagueta the best neighbourhood to live in Malaga. The area's located east of the Historic Centre and offers many luxurious hotels and beach bars for your downtime. Step outside your high-rise apartment tower and smell the Mediterranean sea! The blue ocean is at your doorstep.
Internationality
La Malagueta's loved by international expat families with children. The neighbourhood's peaceful and offers some international schools. This makes the area perfect for those looking for an international experience nearby the beach.
23. Visit Malaga Museum
The Museo de Málaga is a must-see for lovers of Spanish art andarchaeology! You’ll be as enchanted by theformer customspalace that serves as its setting as you will by the scope of its rich, double collection, with over 15,000 pieces to discover! The museum is distinguished by its vast spaces, where colorful scenography creates a welcoming, immersive atmosphere.
The Museo de Málaga is housed in the old customs house, one of the most remarkable buildings of Málaga’s neoclassical period. Built in 1787 by architect Manuel Martín Rodríguez, this building was commissioned by King Charles III in response to the growing volume of maritime traffic following the introduction of free trade with the Americas.
Completed in 1829, it first served as a tobacco factory, then as a customs house from 1835, and then alternated with administrative use. The building has undergone several modifications over the years, but its architecture is still impressive! With a surface area of over 18,400 m2, the museum offers an impressive setting for its collections, and unveils a charming patio where I loved to take a break.
The Museo de Málaga seems to stand out for its peaceful atmosphere, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the tourist crowds. For the best experience, I advise you to avoid weekends and opt for an evening visit, as the museum is open until 9pm.
23. Visit OXO Museo del Videojuego
Do you like Nintendo or Playstation? In the video game OXO museum in the center of Malaga you will get an experience that all video game lovers enjoy. Enjoy dozens of video consoles and exhibitions related to the most classic games.
OXO Museo Videojuego Málaga is an innovative centre dedicated to disseminate, preserve and promote the artistic and technological legacy of the video game sector.
OXO is a unique space in Spain in which to discover the past, present and future of video games in a five-floor building located in the historic centre of Malaga next to the cathedral.
Every floor of OXO house brings different collections and exhibitions where visitors can experience and learn about all kind of video games in their original formats.
OXO is a space in Malaga that is committed to become a world reference point for the video game culture and industry.
Five Quick Travel Tips for Málaga
· Many museums and galleries are shut on Mondays, and lots offer some form of free entry on Sundays.
· The city is very pedestrian friendly, and you don’t need to take a public transport to around the historic centre or main sites - some of you may wish to use the Hop-On / Hop-Off bus.
· Avoid Euronet ATMs for cash withdrawals wherever you travel; Unicaja’s didn’t charge us a fee.
· Málaga Airport (AGP) is just a 15-minute, €4 bus ride from the city centre. It’s the best place to pick up a rental car, but there are a lot of terrible reviews and common scams from certain companies to bump up the insurance or get you on pre-existing damage, so go in with eyes wide open. I recommend looking + booking via AutoEurope and RentalCars to get the best overview on rates and availability, whilst this post has lots of tips to help you avoid extra costs: Car Rental Tips for Travellers.
· You’ll find several tourism kiosks in the historical centre for maps + info, and the main tourism office is down the the port (maps). English is widely spoken at attractions and tourist-facing restaurants, but I encourage everyone to make the effort to use a bit of Spanish.
