This city delights his tourists with fantastic weather all the year round. Malaga is right in the heart of Costa del Sol area and has a total of 14 kilometers of beach. Thus, during summer time, swimming is one of the greatest choices you can make on a daily basis. This way you can recover after intense training, workout, boost your brainpower and even find inspiration in happy moments.
During winter the water’s temperature is not high enough for a swim, but the weather is sufficiently warm to relax by the beach. Local cuisine is mouth-watering. I recommend you to try a plate of fresh sardines roasted in a traditional seaside barbecue and a beer (a caña). Also, you should go for lunch at one of the restaurants by the sea. There you can have your meal and watch the sunset over the Mediterranean in a highly enjoyable atmosphere.
3. Expand Your Networking in Malaga.
