Malaga is a fantastic destination for travellers looking for a combination of beaches and attractions, whereas Granada is better for historical sites and culture.
If you’re struggling to make a decision, I understand because both destinations are worth visiting.
This guide will help you make a decision as I compare both cities. You’ll discover which one is best for attractions, beaches, day trips, and more. Let’s dive into it!
Granada is a paradise for history and culture lovers; the Alhambra and the Cathedral of Granada are two examples of emblematic buildings in the city.
Learn about the history, wander its beautiful gardens with jasmine flowers and take in the views from the fortress walls.
Malaga and coastal towns are known as Costa del Sol, and it’s home to beautiful beaches; many are awarded Blue Flags because of their high-quality water, cleanliness and facilities.
Granada is one of the best cities to have tapas in southern Spain. You can easily spend the afternoon or evening going from bar to bar to enjoy a few drinks and tapas with friends.
Wondering what to eat in Malaga? Try its typical sardine skewers called espetos, fried fish or the refreshing ajoblanco soup, which is also a good alternative for anyone who is vegetarian.
