FAQs

  • What documentation do I need to travel to Malaga?

    If you are a European citizen, all you have to bring with you is a national ID or current passport. (It is also a good idea to have your European Health Insurance Card.) If you are from a non-European country that does not require a visa and your stay is less than 90 days, you will need a valid passport. For tourists from other countries, the best option is to visit the Spanish embassy and request information about all the necessary steps and documents, or visit the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

  • Is it dangerous for my health to travel to Malaga?

    No, you do not. According to the Ministry of Health, you don’t need any vaccination or special precautions related to health. Also, if you are a European citizen, you will have the same rights to healthcare as insured Spanish citizens when you present your European Health Insurance Card.

  • What should I pack to visit Malaga?

    First of all, sunscreen is essential at this destination, since the occurrence of UV rays is very high, especially in the summer. Therefore, whenever you are on the beach or in outdoor spaces, you should bring it with you and apply it often. You will also need adapters to connect or charge your electronic devices at 230 V. The plugs and outlets in Malaga are type C and F. 

    Of course, if you come in the summer, don’t forget your swimsuit and fill your luggage with light-colored clothing, made of cool fabrics. Avoid synthetic materials as much as you can, since they do not do well with humidity and heat, and opt for items made of cotton or natural fibers. If you come during colder months, slightly warm clothing will be more than sufficient. If you are going to be walking a lot within the province, bring appropriate shoes so your walks are comfortable and safe. 

  • How do I pay in Malaga?

    The euro is the legal tender in Malaga. You will not have to exchange currencies if your country is part of the eurozone. You can use cash to make purchases, though most places accept debit and credit cards. However, it is advisable to travel with a modest amount of cash and use your card whenever possible. Visa and Mastercard are usually accepted. American Express is accepted to a lesser degree.

  • What is the time zone in Malaga?

    The time zone for the province of Malaga is UTC/GMT+1 in the winter and UTC+1/GMT+2 in the summer. The time in Malaga is the same as that in Madrid, the country’s capital, or in any of the other autonomous communities of the Spanish territory, with the exception of the Canary Islands.

  • What language do they speak in Malaga?

    In Malaga there is only one official language: Spanish. However, most hotel and tourism employees will be able to communicate with you in English and, depending on the area of the province, other languages as well, like German or Finnish.
