Malaga is a huge city with almost 600,000 inhabitants where you can easily wander for a week through the numerous small streets, nice squares and miles of beach. However, there may be a reason that you only have 1 Day in Malaga to explore the city. For example, if you are passing through or visiting Malaga with a cruise ship like we did the first time.
At the beginning of the main shopping street La Calle Larios at the beginning of the Palmeral de Las Sorpresas and Málaga Park you can find the Tourist Info building of Malaga. Here you can find tips, information and leaflets that will help you to spend a 1 Day in Malaga well.
