Sardines by the Sea
At Pedregalejo's chiringuitos, sardines are threaded onto cane skewers and roasted over wood in a boat-shaped fire pit; order an espeto de sardinas with your feet in the sand. El Palo's seafront grills serve the same smoky skewers, while Mercado de Atarazanas is a place to buy Málaga almonds and olives to take home.
Airport Train or Bus
From Málaga Airport, Cercanías C1 reaches María Zambrano in about 8 minutes and Centro-Alameda in roughly 12, with trains usually every 20 minutes. EMT's A Express bus stops at Alameda Principal and takes around 15-25 minutes, depending on traffic. Buy a C1 ticket from the station machines before boarding.
Walk the Limestone Maze
At El Torcal de Antequera, limestone slabs have weathered into stacked towers at around 1,200 metres, about 50 km north of Málaga. Follow the marked Green Route, about 1.5 km, for a short loop, or the Yellow Route, about 3 km, for longer passages through the karst. Both start at the Torcal Alto Visitor Centre.
Free Museum Sundays
Sunday afternoons bring free-entry windows at three museums: Museo Picasso Málaga offers admission during the final two hours before closing, Centre Pompidou Málaga from 4 pm, and Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga from 5 pm until closing. These offers apply to permanent collections; temporary exhibitions may require a separate ticket.
