Malaga Short Break for Christmas Lights – 2nd December, 2 Nights from €169pp
Kick start the festive season with a Malaga city break. See the Christmas lights, shop the Christmas markets, and explore its historical centre and great food scene.
After many years of turning right when I arrived in Malaga airport, I finally got around to a Malaga city break. Malaga airport is frequented by millions of international visitors each year, but most use it as a gateway to stay in beach resorts on the Costa del Sol. I was one of those people, and can’t believe what I have been missing for the last 30 years!
Despite being the six largest city in Spain, Malaga feels more like a vibrant town. Its colourful streets are a delight to explore and it is packed with history and culture, as well as tasty tapas bars. It is even more impressive at Christmas time, as the city is covered in two million lights!
The Christmas lights in Malaga are renowned as being one of the best in Spain. Visitors flock to Malaga city every December to take part in the festivities and to enjoy its illuminated streets.
In addition to the lights, there are five Christmas trees, Christmas markets, colourful arches and light shows to complete the festive experience.
