Shopped an purchased gift items here on our last day in Spain.  This was the last stop by scenic BIG window coach from Granada, to Seville, to Malaga, for a seven-day tour, while I was in high school.  The bus experience was quite exciting.  The TIA plane experience was another story altogether!  The mountains were beautiful and picturesque.  I traveled with my brother for the duration.  I was 14yrs-old.

Malaga has the most uplifting nightlife, but the gay capital of this great city is Marbella, and in marbella the "barrio de los amigos" where you'll find all the gay places you could posibly want

best nightlife is at the Benalmadena port, I will suggest the mana disco with 70% of female visitors, also try to win a bottle just for register on www.manaesmana.com
but have in mind that the drinks are relatively cheap and if get pissed go with friends, if not is not so save

Malaga is famous for its sweet and fruity red dessert-wine - goota taste it, with some variety 'tapas' at any of the small local taverns!!!

Shopping here is a danger! Massive danger!

When you go to Malága, there are two things a girl has to bring along; a pair of comfortable shoes and some hands full of cash! Cause you go there to shop till you drop at Bershka's (my favorite!), Zara and let's not forget the thousands of shoe stores spread all over the city.

Malaga is famous for its sweet red wine. It's very strong and full-bodied, but quite good. I personally like Moscatel.

nice to go out there and make party
