What to see, to do, and to eat in Malaga. This is my second 'first' visit to the city.

I've been to Malaga before, but never been to Malaga before. This time I explore the city, see the sights and enjoy the food (washed down by the occasional beer). #malaga #andalucia

I know the feeling when you can't fall asleep because you are too excited about something.

[@dragos_serghie]

After living there in Málaga for almost two years and having to leave it almost forcefully because of covid I have to say I really miss it and your video took me back to memory lane. It's great to see the city is full of life again and looking forward to returning there soon

[@steve-marsh]

The pressure waiting to hear your score on the Calamari! Glad you enjoyed it, there's a reason this place is always busy with locals :) Málaga is one of our favourite cities and it felt like we were there with you, brilliant! Although with the WC sign on the inside of the door does that mean you can have a pee in the corridor?

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Now that *would* make an interesting video, wouldn't it!

[@scottycat6822]

Scott I spat out my coffee when you got into trouble in the market 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been to Malaga a few times and it seems I missed a lot. It’s a beautiful place. Thanks for the laughs 😂

[@BRae-r5f]

When are you and Alicja going to North Berwick? Scott's been very patient on that front... 😊

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

I enjoy the Steve/Scott “rivalry”… it keeps things spicy! Cheers!

[@kayakandbikeexploringontar174]

Went to Malaga last May with the intention of mostly drinking lemonade, OJ and Fanta. Peach juice at the carrefour express was also amazing. But when I got a free drink with desert at Chiringuito Tropicana that changed everything! Agua de Valencia and Tinto de Verano were more refreshing than I could've thought was possible, but the flavour of Pacharan and Brandy de Jerez was an amazing unexpected surprise. I haven't consumed alcohol for 15yrs, but in Malaga I was having 3 drinks every evening and not getting drunk or getting hangover headaches/gut-rot, only good feelings. Spanish booze tastes great and doesn't hurt, booze isn't like this back home unless it's 100% authentic small-batch craft and that's just the starting point. Recipes and processes need to be good as well, but Spain has it all finely-tuned to perfection. Thanks for doing a second 'first' visit video, more exploring and more ideas is the best!

[@peternolan5353]

Scott looks so different with the hat on.and giving Steve a thumbs up, now u no you've hit the nail on the head

I live an hour away from Malaga and thought I knew the city well. You introduced me to a couple of new places. Many thanks

[@cilldublin07]

fair play for going up to la rosaleda, home of the best supported club in third tier spanish football. malagas a very under rated city that most tourists never visit on their holidays to the costa

I didn't get a lot from your video of Pizzara(?) because I'm definitely not a hiker...but I love Malaga and totally enjoyed this video. It's such a beautiful place. Good one❤❤

[@hanshartfiel6394]

Great video, Scott. The WC on the inside of the loo made me laugh. I guess they put it there to remind you were you are.

[@janettesinclair6279]

Lovely city! I don't remember it being such a beautiful place and I love all the sculptures. I was in Malaga many years ago but staying on the outskirts. And we left from that railway station to go to Madrid, and from there to Gerona for the flight home. That ice cream looked the business, Scott!

[@lpr8858]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you!

[@robertofraser101]

Brilliant stuff scott enjoyed look foward too next one glad it started went well

[@ageoflove1980]

Disneyland effect... I know exactly what you mean and it just never goes away. I always sleep terrible the day before travel. But once Im there and everything is sorted I completely crash and the next day I wake up fresh as a daisy and the adventure can truly begin! And cool, I think at 23:24 on the right you see a Canarian Dragon Tree! If something reminds me of summer holidays, its that!

[@DavidMorton-p8m]

Great video. Note in the station. You can't get on the Ave platforms, but you can get a really good view of them through a glass wall from the 1st floor of the shopping area.

[@HazelCrowley-b5t]

I love torremolinos there's lovely walks lot better than the other 2 ,😂

[@horsehollerer]

Beautiful tour, cheers! I was there exactly a year ago but only to catch a train to Granada for a couple of days, then Cordoba for a couple more days, then Sevilla for a day. So much beauty on that trip, it was overwhelming. I didn't even think to look around Malaga. looks great.

[@kevinellis8869]

Another good tour, glad young Mr Marsh was able to point you in the right direction for food. Memo to self: Uphill walking walking should be avoided at all costs unless absolutely necessary. Keep up the good work!

[@paulgibsonphotography]

Great Video Scott

[@raymundoypatricia7226]

Loving your content. New Subscribers.. Malaga a wonderful city so underrated. thanks for your hard work..

[@SparkySenor]

You managed to cover pretty much everything, except La Maguletta Beach. When I first visited it was the original Railway Station (Maria Zambrano since 2007), was big and empty, no shops and no English anywhere, that was about 30 years ago, it's a very changed place now but I still love it and you did it proud.

[@mariopoliti3072]

Really enjoyed that Scott, what a lovely place Malaga is, I was there recently but only the airport as I was staying at Benalmadena, but next time I will be sure to visit Malaga, another great vlog Scott 👍

[@TheIantoJones]

Just ordered your book :)

[@johncruickshank6159]

Great video as usual thanks 👍 ....OMG....so so lovely a Lemon Sorbet Gelato 😅

[@birdsbodger]

I know what to call my onion rings now! Nice video, was glad to see you eating that ice cream as you look very thin, keep on knocking back the calories! I didn't realise Malaga was in division 3 either so thanks for an informative video.

[@tomkemp9465]

In my experience calamari usually taste like eating the eraser off my pencil when at school. Best seafood experience was called espedata (I think), in Albufera in Portugal. It is a swordfish steak. Smells like fish but tastes like chicken. Shark tastes the same.

[@rosemarymee]

Glad other people find it tastes like deep fried rubber …🥴

[@galaxianx01]

My memory of Malaga was flies. Las moscas. They're are a lot of lemon tress in Malaga, and this attracts the flies in the warmer weather. Hopefully you weren't bothered by them too much.

[@gregorylenton8200]

Enjoyed...Thanks

[@dazlebluefrogify]

Great viďeo mate you went before summer which can be very hot as in sevilla ,granada and cordoue among other places down there ,the quick look at the market fruit prices are as expensive as in France but looked tourists orientated maybe the reason for the high prices, looking forward to your next video

[@davidknox5929]

Pizza and a beer. NICE

[@stephenc6648]

I found myself unexpectedly spending (and greatly enjoying}) two days in Malaga just before Christmas because the cruise I was on was curtailed by bad weather. No-one really minded. The Christmas lights were spectacular and there are two switch-ons per night, which attract big crowds. The weather was like a sunny English spring day. If you go back, I'd definitely suggest the two sights you avoided because of the queues. You can get a combined ticket for the two but they're not connected internally. I felt a sense of achievement after that hill walk and I'd already paid my entry fee so I was determined to get my moneysworth. Afterwards, I discovered there's a lift. The cathedral is more impressive inside than outside and you can pay a bit extra to walk around the roof. The Picasso Museum (not his birthplace) is surprisingly big and impressive. The cube over the Centre Pompidou is mainly a skylight. The actual museum is underground. I'd only bother going in if there's an exhibition that interests you. I'd definitely revisit. I mainly stuck to the port and the historic centre of the city but your video and others show that there's more to see.

Loved malaga went in November for a business conference Stayed at the pod hostel just down from where your staying.

[@jamesrogan1989]

Excellent video (as always). Can’t wait to go back and try out some of the places. 😀👍🚉🛫

[@thany3]

I can imagine if you're booking a triple room with inner courtyard view, a private toilet & shower, and they'll have someone waiting for you at the entrance, the kind of hotel one would expect is something maybe a tad fancier than that one.

[@keithparker1346]

That square looked great, actually most of it looked rather nice... possibly awful looking in winter

[@kevinramsden62]

The trees are jacarandas. They flower in May/June in Málaga. They are attractive looking and absorb large amounts of CO2, but create a hell of a sticky mess when the leaves and flowers fall on the pavement or your car.

[@jimmcintosh9045]

There should be a warning on calamari...."These are not onion rings!" Agree Pablo Picasso not my favourite either. More a Salvador Dali guy!

[@JamesHyde1986]

If you’re still in Malaga, Scott, then a local recommendation for you. Check out an ice cream place called Casa Mira (located on Calle Larios) and an ice cream they sell called Turron. It has an almond flavour and is a local delicacy, often eaten around Christmas time (but sold all year). You know it’s a good place when you have to take a number and wait to be called to be served. Well worth any wait though.

[@rosemarymee]

Turron is nougat in Spanish.

[@STNW1956]

Fabulous! I didn’t realise Malaga was so beautiful & interesting. The history, diverse culture, architecture and food! Love your sense of humour. Thank you.

[@keithparker1346]

I agree. Aesthetically this was a good looking video

[@yyyfffff33333]

Make sure you’re well insured if you do go. Some Spanish hospitals are awful.

[@Raymond-jq2nj]

Wow beautiful city. Lol. 😂 Great freeze. Thank you Scott.

[@michelg2257]

For me that's a hotel to avoid.

[@chnet968]

I have a feeling that the room was supposed to be a quad room when seeing a socket at the level of where the upper bunk bed would be.😅 I'm also interested to know whether that "external private toilet" is shared with other rooms as well. With the word "private" I would hope they won't, but on the other hand it may just mean the room is not shared with random people coming in the hotel.

[@Priorw8]

Great education shows me things that I didn’t know

[@sandiandgregh]

Now I want a plate of calamari. :) Great video, as always. And an excellent travel tip would be to avoid smelling fruit uninvited in Malaga unless you are seeking a personal tour of a prison cell. 😂

[@janicehopwood9528]

I'm the same when travelling, especially if it's an early start, I find it hard to sleep because I'm so excited. Your hotel must be using the word boutique with reference to its size rather than any aesthetic qualities. I like my hotel room to be part of the whole experience if I'm staying for a few days. I have stayed somewhere similar in Germany and as an overnighter it was OK.

[@taxi134-y1q]

Hi Scott, I've also stayed in that hotel, although only for one night on my way to Melilla. I also thought it was very good. It was the tiny wee lift that reminded me of the place! I had a large balcony overlooking the street and it was very well priced.

I was getting renaissance / baroque from the churches likely because it was only captured from the Moors in the end of the fifteen century and may well have been a port used by the conquistadors The the bull ring and markets reeked of nineteenth century industrialisation.

Malaga went like Barcelona, just 15 years later. Calle Larios was a busy traffic street 20 years ago, now beautiful and pedestrianised with Rolex, Gucci etc But....at what cost to the locals? Just like in BCN they've been evicted, rents hiked and the old businesses like the iconic Cafe Central are now long gone, just like their customers. Now it's the turn of Alicante to experience this "progress".

[@6yjjk]

I booked a trip to Malaga once when I just needed to get out of the UK and didn't care where. I expected it to be horrible tower block hotels full of pissed-up Brits turning pink outside pubs serving ham egg and chips. I found that in Torremolinos, God-awful place, but Malaga was a really pleasant surprise.
