Malaga with teens

5 replies

Hi there! Can anyone recommend things to do in Malaga with teenagers especially indoors as it looks like we might be in for some rain when we are there. I already have Mercado de Atar, Muelle Uno, interactive music museum and the cathedral on our list but can anyone recommend any other indoor options?
Is anyone aware of any hotels with indoor pools which non patrons can pay to use?
We may hire a car whilst there so happy to travel around or alternatively use public transport. TIA.

How long are you there, time of year and age of teens?

If old enough, and they like that kind of thing, the Turkish Hammam was amazing - we did it after arrival on our first day and it was perfect to get us relaxed from the off.

Shopping is quite good.

I’d put the Picasso Museum well ahead of the cathedral tbh

El Pimpi for a bite to eat

are you using the BBC’s weather forecast to look a week / two weeks ahead? Spectacularly inaccurate both when we went to Malaga earlier this year - forecast rain, rain and a bit more rain but reality was blue skies and sunshine. Same again for where we are in southern Spain at the moment.

@boys3 Yes I’ve used the BBC, Met Office and wunderground and all saying quite a bit of rain next week. I’m hoping that it turns out not to be the case. Fingers crossed we have blue skies! Thank you for your suggestions - will take a look into these.
@EmmaStone we’re there next week. Teens are 13&15. Did you just turn up at the Turkish Hammam or did you pre book?

We pre booked as they only allow very small numbers in.

https://oxomuseomalaga.com/en/ I went here on a visit with my 18yr old, it's open in the eve so good to fill the slot before Spanish dinner time. We were there longer than the 2 hr timeslot. Lots of retro games most of which are playable, great fun.
DS wouldn't do any art places but did enjoy picassos house as more personal history. Small but interesting enough for an hour or so.
Agree shopping is great and just wandering all the little streets in the old town.
