Destination Essentials

Málaga's subtropical-Mediterranean climate means it's a joy to visit all year round. However, summer (June to August) offers the warmest weather ideal for beach holidays, though it attracts the largest crowds. Early autumn (September to October) boasts pleasant temperatures perfect for sightseeing, and fewer tourists, adding a tranquil charm to your holiday experience.
