Question

Has anyone ever been there? what is it like? What is the weather like in july? What is the beach like?

Answer 1

I'm not sure but I'll list some websites that have some info on the place.

Answer 2

I live in Málaga. The weather in July will be very hot especially in the city. Most people coming to Málaga refer to other towns within Málaga province. There are some wonderful beaches about, it really depends on where you are staying. I had lunch on the beach on Sunday at El Pelo which is a suburb of Málaga. Málaga is a fascinating city especially the old part.

Answer 3

Malaga is a big city, its the sixth largest in Spain (about 560,000 inhabittants) and is in Andalusia. Weather is warm to hot in July. Nights are usually warm too, altough a little bit less, obviously.

The city is beautiful, with an Old town, and Alcazaba (a muslim fortress or citadel) and a beautiful beach. Yes, there are a lot of high buildings too and it's full of foreigners. A lot of them also stay in smaller coastal towns.

Nightlife is very lively, especially in Summer, altough Malaga is a bussy city all over the year.

Answer 4

I was there in November once, many years ago.  Looked like a forest of high rises.  Not my style.  Beaches there are supposed to be the best, but then, there are also supposed to be tons of British and German tourists there.  Not my style.

If you want to go to the Mediterranean, but you don't want that totally overbuilt, overpopulated beaches, go at least a little to the north.  Valencia province beaches are nice.  Also Costa Brava and Costa Dorada.

Answer 5

Andalucia not Andalusia as incorrectly written so many places.

The tourist capital of Spain, very very busy in the summer, overcrowded in reality. Hot in July altho sea breeze always keeps things bearable. Perhaps 40 degrees.

Great airport, actually the only airport to be able to have the airbus at the moment i belive, more revamping have made it even larger. Great location for a base allowing you to visit Marbella, Banus, Fuengirola, Benalmadena, Mijas, Granada maybe,Gibraltar even only 1 hr and half drive.. Hire car recommended to be able to see all of the above places that are popular in thier own right, amongst many others. (Ronda,Nerja)
