Day trips from our Bed and Breakfast in Málaga Spain.
There is plenty to do. Our B&B is very centrally located in Andalusia for various excursions
Get in the mood and watch the video . We have created a beautiful photo book with all the excursions you can make from our B&B. Of course we are happy to advise you!
Malaga 30 min
Most guests fly to Malaga Airport and leave with a rental car to our side to explore Andalusia. Don't forget to visit the city of Malaga. Just 30 minutes from our B&B you are in the historical center of the capital of the province of the same name.

There is something for everyone to do: shopping in the Calle Marqués de Larios, visiting historical monuments such as the Cathedral from 1700 or the Castillo Gilbralfaro and nearby the Alcazaba fortress.
For those who love gardens, Jardin de la Concepción is a must, just on the outskirts of Málaga on the route to our B&B in Riogordo.
Would you rather stroll along the boulevard by the harbour? That is also possible. Marvel at the enormous cruise ships that dock there and give their passengers the opportunity to explore Málaga.
If it is unexpectedly rainy or too hot, visit one of the museums: Museo Carmen Thyssen , Centre Pompidou (a branch of Paris) or the Picasso museum . Pablo Picasso is also a born Malagueño: A visit to his birthplace is recommended. For more tips, you can of course just knock on our door.
We like the city so much that from April 2023 we will also have an apartment there for rent , Loft2Stay
Granada 65 minutes
An hour's drive from our B&B is the historic city of Granada with the world-famous Alhambra (click here to reserve tickets). An enormous historic palace from the Moorish period, well worth a visit. It is not for nothing that it is on the Unesco World Heritage List. The Albaucin district at the foot of the Alhambra, with nice restaurants and narrow alleys, is also well worth a visit. Another special thing about Granada is that you almost always see snow on the mountain tops of the Sierra Nevada.

Antequera 40 minutes
A special city, but less known in our province of Málaga. 30,000 inhabitants, nice center and a beautiful bullring. Very worthwhile to visit and take a nice walk through the city center. Good to combine with a walk on El Torcal, an impressive mountain range and the saltwater lagoon Fuente de Piedra . A salt lake where flamingos breed.

In the morning a nice walk in the nature park and then around 2 pm a lunch in the city and then back to our finca for a refreshing dip in the pool. Of course you can then enjoy a sunset that never bores us.
Please note: shops in Antequera are closed from 2pm to 5pm.
Ronda 55 minutes
After a delicious breakfast at our B&B and a beautiful drive of about 1.5 hours lies Ronda, one of the oldest cities in Spain. Situated on a mountain plateau of 2500 m above sea level. The city is mainly known for the gorge El Tajo that splits the old and new city but is now connected again by the mighty bridge Puente Nuevo.

Ronda is touristy, but definitely worth a day trip. Take a different route on the outward journey than on the return journey and enjoy the special landscapes. We can recommend a number of beautiful car routes. Then you will enjoy the fantastic surroundings even more.
Cordoba 100 minutes
Another city where a sight is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. We are of course talking about the Mezquita . First a Catholic church, then demolished and in 756 a Mosque was built. After the last Moors were driven out of the region, the building was transformed into a cathedral again in 1236. The church was actually built around the Mosque. This created a unique building that is really worth a visit. And don't forget the beautiful narrow streets. Still have time left? Then visit the Medina Azahara, located just outside Cordoba. This is an old walled Arab city from the time of the Caliphate of Cordoba.

Marbella 60 minutes
Want to see how the jet set experiences the Costa del Sol? Then take a day trip to Marbella. Marvel at the large yachts and expensive cars and enjoy the old city center. The drive there is mainly between towers of hotels and apartments; now you also know why we chose our B&B on the other side of Málaga.

Day at the beach and sea
Our B&B does not have a sea view but you are close to the coast with the wonderful beaches of the Costa del Sol. In the city of Málaga there are fantastic beaches to relax and enough cozy traditional eateries. Quieter are the wide beaches at Torre del Mar, with also excellent eateries and the so-called chiringuitos: beach bars where you can eat freshly grilled fish.

A little further along the coast, just past Nerja, lies the village of Maro, where beautiful quiet bays are hidden between the mountains. If you want more excitement, the beaches at Torremolinos and Benalmádena are also an option.
Nature and walking
It is recommended to put on your walking shoes at least once. From the B&B you can make beautiful walks. Or take the car and drive to El Torcal or Nerja for example. And if you can get a ticket then you should definitely walk the Caminito del Rey ! A bit busy, but definitely a bucket list item. If this does not work out then we also have a spectacular walk at Canillas de Aceituno, the Saltillo . The alternative to the Caminito del Rey.
Skiing
About 1.5 hours drive from our B&B you are already on the long skis. From November to April it is possible to enjoy the snow. Walking, skiing, snowboarding or just enjoying the beautiful winter view.
