Malaga is a space filled with food, music, sun and a love for life. Even just walking down the street or going to one of the many restaurants and cafés will allow you experience it. To properly delve into the culture of a place, however, it is best to plan your holiday around specific events that allow locals and tourists alike to engage with ancient and contemporary customs. With a range of these occasions happening all around the region, and Malaga Airport transfers straight to them available around the clock, you’ll find that it’s never been easy to dive into your holiday.
