Malaga holidays are perfect for the traveller who likes to explore their cities on foot, the local tourism agency said this week.
UK holidaymakers looking for a relaxing city break with a great opportunity to soak up the sunshine on the beach should look no further than this key destination in southern Spain, declared the Malaga City Tourist Board and Convention Bureau.
Spokesman Antonio Montejo Romero said that for people walking around town on Malaga holidays it was only a 10 minute stroll between attractions.
“We consider that 90 per cent of the old town of Malaga, downtown, is pedestrianised, so visitors don’t need to hire a car to be moving around the city centre of Malaga,” he added.
Mr Romero went on to say that as well as the golden beaches of Malaga, holidays to the city can also be a cultural experience, since there are 23 museums to choose from, such as the Picasso Museum, containing the famous artist’s “most important private collection” of paintings.
There are many cheap flights to Malaga available from the UK, thanks to its status as a travel hub for the various resorts of the Costa del Sol.
Last month flag carrier British Airways launched new leisure services from London City Airport, among which was a Malaga route, operated by BA CityFlyer. The airline’s cheap flights to Malaga leave the Docklands airport thrice-weekly.
Holidaymakers looking for cruise holidays can also take cheap flights to Malaga, Barcelona and Palma from Leeds Bradford Airport, where Royal Caribbean International Cruises has recently expanded the number of connecting services.
