One of the oldest Mediterranean cities seaport Malaga has to be my favourite coastal cities, unlike Ibiza its calmer, and has quite a few attractions for families with kids. It makes for a great base city as well if you would like to make day trips to white towns of Ronda, Alhambra or Marbella. There are quite a few options of amazing resorts and seafood restaurants so my cravings for Paella were taken care. Apart from the serene beaches, you can even opt to explore some of the historical attractions and believe me it’s going to be fun, there is more to Malaga then just the beaches.
