Granada: About a 90-minute drive from Malaga is the historic city of Granada. Brimming with history and Moorish architecture, Granada is set in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The city’s most notable attraction is the Alhambra — an impressive palace and fortress set in picturesque gardens. It’s worth taking a drive to Granada just to see this beautiful piece of architecture.
Marbella: Less than an hour’s drive from Malaga is the beautiful beach resort of Marbella. A playground for the rich and famous, Marbella is home to designer boutiques, lavish restaurants and expensive hotels. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a celebrity yourself!
Mijas: The hillside village of Mijas has retained much of its traditional Spanish charm, and is the perfect escape from the bustling city of Malaga. Characterised by white-washed buildings and narrow, cobbled streets, Mijas is quaint and picturesque.
