Málaga in winter: the 7 best things to do and see

Just because Málaga sits by the Mediterranean Sea and is famous for its beaches doesn’t mean it’s not worth visiting in the winter. In fact, the city comes alive around the holidays with light shows, markets, and a grand parade — all of which you won’t get a chance to see if you come by any other time of year. Since Málaga doesn’t even get close to reaching freezing temperatures during the winter, the pleasantly mild climate means you can spend even more time enjoying the outdoors without the sweltering heat or summer crowds. Whether you’re visiting this coastal city on a solo trip, as a romantic getaway, or as a family vacation, these are the best things to do in Málaga in winter.

We had a fantastic tour from Málaga to Ronda and Seville, guided by Enrique. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and hidden gems of each place we visited. His passion for Spanish heritage really brought everything to life, from the stunning views in Ronda to the rich history of Seville. Enrique’s storytelling made the journey even more engaging, and he was always happy to answer questions and share insights. A well-organized and enriching experience — highly recommended!
