Overview
Take a trip to Malaga on your Spain Vacation
The dynamic coastal city of Malaga is the idyllic gateway to the Costa del Sol and Andalusia in southern Spain. It's a vibrant, cosmopolitan hub that offers a multifaceted Spanish experience with abundant sunshine and a high quality of life. You'll find wide boulevards lined with swaying palm trees and inviting beaches in the heart of Malaga. Its energetic nightlife is full of entertainment options, from bustling bars to tranquil beachfront lounges.
Malaga's history, steeped in Moorish heritage until the mid-15th century, is etched into its historic centre. The La Alcazaba fortress, dating back to 1065, now houses a captivating archaeological museum, providing a window into the city's rich past. The Calle Alameda Park boasts one of Europe's most celebrated botanical collections and is a testament to the city's enduring charm. Sundays in winter come alive with open-air concerts, infusing the park with melodies and merriment.
Malaga proudly embraces its modernity, with Calle Larios at the heart of commerce, akin to a local Bond Street or Fifth Avenue. It's an ideal starting point for exploring the city's charming streets, vibrant plazas, and the magnificent Renaissance cathedral. Malaga invites you to savour its exceptional seafood, explore captivating museums, and soak in the Mediterranean spirit under the sun.

What do the experts say?
If you are looking for the best time to visit, I would recommend Spring and early Fall. The weather wont be too hot and you will be avoiding the peak season where not only does the temperature rise, but there are lots of crowds.
Be wary that lunch and dinner are taken very late compared to North America! And don't expect to just pop into the shops around midday - most of them shut for a siesta break!
Most people do not know that most regions of Spain have their own language and traditions. This makes visiting Spain such a unique experience - everywhere you go is like visiting a completely new country

Dear Goway Travel Team!
I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels. She recently curated a trip for me to Croatia, the beautiful islands, and Montenegro, and it was an absolute home run.
Jacqueline has an incredible ability to listen to her clients' needs and translate them perfectly into a flawless itinerary. Her articulation, guideline execution, and professionalism are unmatched. What sets her apart is her forward-thinking approach—she always knows the exact hotspots and trends, ensuring the pace of the trip matches my speed perfectly.
Everything transitioned seamlessly thanks to her attention to detail and care. She is a massive asset to your organization, and her consideration makes every vacation stress-free. I will absolutely continue to use her for all my future travels.

The Hot air balloon ride in the Masai Mara is a must…it’s breathtaking!Pam SeitzI have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime!

I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen
