This is where you will see the luxury, surrounded by huge yachts, many restaurants, bars and high-end stores like Gucci and Louis Vuitton. A much more expensive city, but it&#8217;s worth checking out for the day.<\/p>\n<h3>Seville<\/h3>\n<p>When visiting Southern Spain, this is where most people go.

You will find everything you need from food to small convenience stores.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, umbrella and chair rentals are reasonably priced. Don\u2019t forget to take a picture with the popular Malagueta sign.<\/p>\n<h2>8) Go To A Flamenco Show<\/h2>\n<p>If you visit Southern Spain, you must attend a flamenco show. If you are not familiar with it, Flamenco is a traditional art form and dance of Andalusia. But it\u2019s much more than dancing; it is a mix of dancing, clapping, singing, and Spanish guitars. The dancers are passionate and expressive. It\u2019s a fantastic show to see.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In Malaga, check out any of these locations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cal y Canto<\/li>\n<li>Kelip\u00e9 Centro de Arte Flamenco<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flamencomalagacentro.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tablao Flamenco Los Amayas<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can book tickets to several types of Flamenco shows, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/mlaga-l402\/malaga-picasso-flamenco-show-t330636\/?partner_id=J809XX3&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;utm_source=contact%40wearetravelgirls.com&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Picasso themed Flamenco show<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/mlaga-l402\/malaga-3-hour-tapas-tour-and-flamenco-show-t164487\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">tapas tour<\/a> that includes a show at the end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>9) Visit The Mercado De Atarazanas&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s an experience going through the Atarazanas Market; I can guarantee all your senses will be heightened. Located in the heart of historic downtown, it is a great place to pick up fresh produce, meats, fish, cheese, spices, and many other delicious items.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the market early; don\u2019t wait until noon. It tends to get busy with all the other tourists visiting and taking pictures. Locals tend to go early, before 10 am. Also, be sure to check the prices; some stalls are more affordable than others.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Another great way to visit and learn at the same time is by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/mlaga-l402\/malaga-tapas-tour-t56013\/?partner_id=J809XX3&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;utm_source=contact%40wearetravelgirls.com&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">taking a walking tour,<\/a> which will show you around and include some food to try.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-37704\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/malaga-spain-things-to-do-5.jpg\" alt=\"Top 10 Things To Do In Malaga Spain\" width=\"1103\" height=\"1471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/malaga-spain-things-to-do-5.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/malaga-spain-things-to-do-5-774x1032.jpg 774w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1103px) 100vw, 1103px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>10) Tapa Hopping<\/h2>\n<p>I am sure one of the things you look forward to the most before your visit to Spain is all the yummy tapas. Well&#8230;what better way to try different tapas than by taking an afternoon to do tapas hopping?<\/p>\n<p>Many restaurants serve different ones worth checking out. Don\u2019t forget to try espetos, a popular dish in Malaga.
