Tourist guide: what to do and see in Malaga
Sardine skewers, beaches, fun and glamour.
There are not many places in the world which, just from the beachfront promenade, can stimulate all the senses. But enjoying the beach, the rumbling of the waves, the midday sun and the calm, excites the senses exponentially when you have all this in front of you whilst you enjoy some freshly grilled sardines. Satisfied? Wait, there's more! How about enjoying one of the world's most glamorous evenings? Or simply take pleasure in the company and lively atmosphere in the local streets, whilst enjoying the food and the sunshine in a traditional Spanish tavern? Your biggest dilemma will be what to take with you: heels, shoes or flip flops? Everything! And get your taste buds ready to enjoy some of the best fresh seafood in the entire world.
