Originals plans in Málaga
Here we present a list of activities and unique experiences that will allow you to discover Malaga from a different perspective:
Discover the Urban Art of Malaga
Malaga has experienced a boom in urban art in recent years, becoming an open-air gallery. You can take a self-guided tour through the city streets to discover incredible murals and works by local and international artists.
One of the most emblematic places to admire urban art is the La Trinidad neighborhood, where the walls become paintings that reflect the cultural diversity of Malaga.
Taste the local gastronomy at the Atarazanas Market
Gastronomy is an essential part of Malaga culture, and what better way to get to know it than by visiting a traditional market. The Atarazanas Market is one of the oldest and most emblematic markets in Malaga, where you can find a wide variety of local products, from fresh fish to fruits and vegetables from the region.
Además de hacer tus compras, puedes disfrutar de una experiencia gastronómica única degustando tapas y vinos en los puestos del mercado. It is a perfect opportunity to try authentic flavors.
Picnic at La Concepción Botanical Garden
Malaga is known for its beautiful gardens and parks, but there are some secret corners that don’t appear in tourist guides. We propose a picnic with your partner or friends at the La Concepción Botanical Garden, where you can enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature in the heart of the urban center.
These gardens offer an oasis of peace where you can relax, disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city and admire the variety of plants and flowers.
Immerse yourself in the history of Malaga with a thematic escape room
One of the cool plans to do in Malaga is to play a themed escape room. These escape games will allow you to immerse yourself in different periods and historical settings of the city while solving enigmas and riddles.
There are several companies that offer escape rooms with themes related to the history of Malaga, from the time of the Phoenicians and Romans to the Reconquista and the Inquisition. It’s a fun and educational way to learn about the city’s past while testing your wits and teamwork.
For example, one of them is the escape room “The Treasures of History: The Treasure of Málaga” where you will have to tour the historic center of Málaga while solving puzzles and a plot based on the culture and history of the city. This experience combines the dynamics of traditional Escape Rooms, the resolution of tests and puzzles of different types, with street gymkhanas and traditional tourism.
Visit the “La Brecha” shopping center
La Brecha is an alternative shopping center which is located in a square between Nosquera street and Andrés Pérez street with several businesses dedicated to crafts. Among the venues is the legendary Candilejas record store, a space dedicated to artists from Malaga, flamenco and classics in Spanish.
The rest of the stores range from manufacturers and restorers of musical instruments to designers of minimalist-style furniture.
Film plan at Cine Albéniz
The Albéniz Cinema stands out as one of the most iconic cinemas in Malaga, not only for its beautiful architecture and unique movie theaters, but also for the variety of films, short films and documentaries it screens.
In 2008, after being acquired by the Malaga City Council, the cinema underwent a notable renovation. Since then, it plays a prominent role in the Malaga Film Festival, being the setting for screenings and presentations of many of the nominated films.
Beer tastings: the Cruzcampo Factory
