Recent regeneration has given Malaga a new lease of life. Previously seen as one of Spain’s less appealing cities, Malaga’s museums, restaurants and hotels have been rising up comparison tables and into the lists and suggestions of travel blogs and books.

Malaga is also within easy reach of several other popular destinations in southern Spain. Seville, Marbella and Gibraltar are all drivable – that is if you choose to hire a car!

Three great driving routes near Malaga

1. Serrania de Ronda. If you’re a keen driver, this area in western Malaga is one not to miss. Scenic towns, villages, and cliffs make it one of the top driving spots in Spain.
2. Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos. This route is another good one for drivers, taking you through the ‘white towns’ of southern Spain. 19 different villages lie along the route, located within the provinces of Malaga and Cádiz.
3. Granada. Roughly an hour and a half from Malaga is Granada, the capital of the province of Andulsia. Granada is also home to the stunning Alhambra palace, another must see if you’re in the area! You can also pick a coastal route for even more scenery.

Other things to remember out for if you’re hiring a car in Malaga

• Key documentation. This includes driving license (yep, people forget that), DVLA Code, payment cards, and any other important paperwork you’ll need.
• Compare the competition. Malaga car hire companies are extremely competitive. There are 20 car rental companies based in the city at the time of writing, so make sure you scope out the best deal for you.
• Book in advance. This will help you find the best deal, with some people paying nearly double by booking on the day of arrival.
• Check the car for any damage. Last thing you need is to be charged for a scratch or dent that was there before you drove it!
• Air-con! It’s pretty hot in Málaga in the summer months so make sure you’ve got air-conditioning, or you’ll be in for a pretty unpleasant journey.
