Anyone been to Malaga, Spain?

Question

I am considering studying abroad in Malaga this summer. What are the fun things to do there? I am 16. How is the weather?

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Málaga is alright. I was there a couple of months ago. Málaga is one of those places where a lot of "discotecas" won't let people under 18 in. There are some that will though. In the summer, it can get uncomfortably hot there. I was there like June 15-17ish, and we got pretty hot laying out at the beach, but it wasn't unbearable. September is their hottest month. I was in the Torremolinos area, and one thing I didn't like about it was that it was quite touristy. It lacked the amazing Spanish culture feel that other places in Spain have, too. I'd say maybe consider studying in Salamanca. That's what I did (I'm your age; I turned 16 on the trip.) Salamanca is a college town where you can go into any discoteca or bar and get any alcohol you want without having to be 18. It is also VERY beautiful there. I suggest living with a host family, too. I was reluctant but it turned out to be my favorite part of the trip. Spain is great, though. I'm sure if you do decide to study in Málaga, you'll have a great time. Hope I helped some! :)

The weather just now is great, being Sept the mornings are just that bit cooler, freasher, but it still gets hot during the day, the evenings cool slightly also.

Malaga is noted for having good schools and colleges, both in the city and surrounding towns, Marbella has some of the best schools catering for english speaking students.

As for fun, you will find out when you get here like a lot of places you make your own, but many clubs you must be 18+ to get in.............

I just got home from Málaga. I had to go there this morning and my wife wanted to go shopping. It was fairly warm though it clouded over slightly. Málaga's great, but the traffic can be bad in the rush hour.....like this morning.
