Vacation Rentals in Malaga

The name Malaga already awakens the inner eye of many holidaymakers to stroll with a cool ice through picturesque alleys and to let their soul dangle under the Andalusian sun. And since Malaga is just the right place for this, you will be spoilt for choice when looking for a beautifully furnished holiday home. The Mediterranean city centre near the Plaza de Uncibay as well as the Plazuela Virgen de las Penasl from where it is only a few minutes walk to the harbour as well as to the numerous museums is especially big. Very popular are also vacation rentals and apartments with pool in the district Playa de la Malagueta, as numerous accommodations have a breathtaking sea view. If you like it a little quieter, you can look around for a vacation rental on the northern outskirts of the city, where you can relax near the Botanical Garden and the Embalse del Limonero lake, far away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

As the cultural centre of Andalusia, Malaga has a lot to offer families. The showpiece is undoubtedly the endless sandy beaches, which stretch from north to south over several kilometres. Besides the flagship Playa La Malagueta and the "pearl" Playa La Caleta, the city also offers some smaller bathing bays like Playa Banos del Carmen and Playa Penon del Cuervo, which are especially suitable for romantic hours for two. For those who want to move a little after relaxing on the beach, a guided bicycle tour into the surrounding area or a side trip to the interactive museum "Museo Interactivo de la Música de Malaga" is recommended. Speaking of museums. While the young visitors can no longer escape their amazement by visiting the Fliegereimuseum and the Automobile Museum, art lovers can look forward to a detour to the Museo Picasso and the Museum of Contemporary Art. A further highlight is the visit to the bullring, which is only a few minutes away from your holiday apartment in the centre and which is still used regularly today. The cultural trip is rounded off by an exciting sightseeing tour through the Moorish fortress Alcazaba and the Castillo de Gibralfaro.

Due to its proximity to the African continent, average maximum temperatures in Malaga do not drop below 16 degrees even in the deepest winter, making the Andalusian capital a worthwhile destination for winter refugees from cold northern Europe. But those who want to spend a bathing holiday there should better target the time between the end of May and the middle of October, when water temperatures of up to 24 degrees Celsius as well as up to 11 hours of sunshine per day attract.
