Malaga city break guide

The opening of the Picasso Museum in 2003 brought a new surge of energy to Malaga. Chic boutiques, gastrobars and cool cafés have sprung up alongside the traditional taverns in the winding lanes in the heart of the city. If you haven’t been for a while, you’ll be amazed at how it has been spruced up. Although there is plenty to see and do – and still more now the new Carmen Thyssen Museum has opened– Malaga is really a place to kick back and just enjoy the laidback Mediterranean vibe.

Flight time : Malaga is approximately two-and-a-half hours from UK airports.

Local laws and etiquette

You must carry your passport with you by law, and you sometimes have to show it when paying by debit or credit card. Get a couple of photocopies of your passport and your European Healthcard, both of which you will need for any medical treatment.

If driving, you must have two warning triangles, two reflective bibs, a spare tyre and spare headlamp bulbs. Children under 12 are only allowed in the front seat with approved safety belts.

It is not usual to share tables, even in fast food joints.

Anyone you are introduced to by friends will want to kiss you on both cheeks, but this does not apply to hotel staff, etc.

Lunch happens from 2pm, dinner from 9pm at the very earliest, though 10pm is the norm. Tapas get going around 1.30pm and after 8pm.

It is a bit cheaper to have drinks or tapas at the bar than sitting at a table, and sitting outside will usually cost an extra 20 eurocents or so per item.

Locals usually leave very small tips – just odd change for drinks and snacks, and often nothing at all. A 10 per cent tip for a meal is considered generous and 5 per cent is more the norm – unless you are somewhere really upmarket, where international rules come into play.

Most bars won’t mind if you go in just to use the toilet – los servicios.

Tap water in Malaga is perfectly safe to drink.

The Malaga Card ( www.malagacard.com ) costs €35 for 24 hours and includes admission to the Picasso Museum, the cathedral and other museums and monuments, plus use of the Malaga Tour bus and discounts at shops.

crafty caz: spanish easter card...update

Hi, my name is Carol and I live in north Nottinghamshire with my husband David and 2 cats, Eric and Willie. I am new to crafting but really enjoy making cards for my family and friends. Other hobbies include ballroom dancing(twice a week with my husband), learning spanish(for past 5 years, if anyone needs a good teacher I can highly recommend mine, she is fantastic!!) running and going to my local gym 4-5 times a week. I love the outdoors and particularly enjoy walking, birdwatching and cycling. But most of all I love to spend time with my lovely family.
