Beaches
La Malagueta Beach
The city beach — golden sand a 10-minute walk from the centre.
La Malagueta is Málaga’s most convenient stretch of sand, backed by palm trees, chiringuitos and the famous lettered sculpture. The water is calm, sunbeds are for hire and the promenade buzzes day and night. Try the espeto de sardinas grilled on a boat-shaped firepit.
