Top 5 best hotels to stay in Malaga

With an average year-round temperature of 20 degrees, summer never stops in Malaga. Malaga is a city full of history and culture, just like Andalusia. Famous for its Roman theatre, but also the birthplace of the famous cubist and surrealist painter Pablo Picasso, Malaga attracts a lot of people every year. When it comes to accommodation, there’s plenty to choose from. Spain’s purchasing power is much lower than in France, so you’ll be able to find very good accommodation at very reasonable prices. Being a coastal city, it is a favourite for tourists who want to enjoy the beautiful sunny beaches of Andalusia. So there are plenty of hotels to choose from. To make things easier for you, Navaway has put together a selection of 5 hotels.
