Top Nature in Malaga

My advice is to explore the small beach bars nearby for authentic tapas instead of the big restaurants... The vibe is more local and you'll probably enjoy better food at lower prices

check out the local beachside chiringuitos (beach bars) for reasonably priced seafood. i found the paella here much better than what i had at fancier restaurants

For the best sunset views, head to the beach around 7 PM. It's magical and totally worth it, plus it’s less crowded as most people leave after the daytime.

I suggest checking out the free exercise classes that they sometimes offer, like yoga or Zumba. I stumbled upon one during my visit and it was a fun way to mingle with locals.

Look for the little play areas if you have kids. They’re well equipped and kept the little ones entertained while I enjoyed some quiet time on a nearby bench.

Don't forget to bring some snacks and water! There are lovely picnic spots, and I found it way more enjoyable to snack while soaking in the scenery.

If you want to avoid the bigger crowds, try visiting on a weekday morning. I went on a Tuesday around 9 AM and it was so peaceful, perfect for a relaxing stroll.

make sure to wear comfortable shoes because there’s a lot of walking involved. i regretted my choice of shoes halfway through and it made exploring less enjoyable.

If you like flowers, don't miss the rose garden. I totally overlooked it at first, but when I explored, it was just stunning. Definitely a standout feature!

Check the weather, seriously! I thought it would be sunny all day, but ended up with a cloudy sky by 3 pm. Bring a light jacket just in case!

If you plan to swim, be careful with the current. I learned the hard way after being pushed quite a bit. Stick close to the shallow areas, especially if you’re not a strong swimmer.

I recommend going in the morning around 9 AM when it opens. It’s way less crowded, and the light is perfect for photos. Plus, you can enjoy the cool breeze before it gets too hot

My advice is to buy tickets online in advance. I saved a few euros compared to on-site prices, and I skipped the long ticket line, which was a lifesaver!

I recommend checking out the feeding sessions. I stumbled upon a seal feeding and it was such a highlight! Make sure to grab a schedule at the entrance so you don't miss it.
