Malaga Bucket List: 40 Exciting Things to Do in Malaga, Malaga, Spain

Welcome to Malaga! I’m gearing up for an exciting trip this week and have put together a list of 40 exciting things to do in Malaga. These activities should help me (and hopefully you) to plan your Malaga trip. While I’ve covered the classics, I’m also a fan of spontaneous exploration, seeking out hidden gems not found on the internet. Stay tuned for an updated review when I’m back. Ready to explore Malaga? Let’s dive into this ultimate Malaga bucket list!

I always love trying traditional food or participating in food tours when traveling abroad. It’s my favorite thing to do when traveling, so I thought I start with this topic first! Here are some examples of food and culinary experiences in Malaga:

- Try Traditional Tapas: Indulge in the local cuisine by trying authentic Andalusian tapas. Visit local bars and savor specialties like boquerones (anchovies), salmorejo, and Iberian ham. Either explore different bars and tapas yourself or join a guided tapas tour to sample a variety of local dishes and learn about the city’s culinary traditions. I think a tapas tour in a small group is an excellent way to discover hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path eateries.

- Enjoy some Churros with Chocolate: Indulge your sweet tooth by trying traditional churros with thick, rich chocolate. You can find these delicious treats in local cafes, especially in the morning or late evening. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
