Blog Cubo's Holiday Homes

At the end of February, Malaga has a week in which many families take the opportunity to spend a few days off, since it is not a school period. The province offers numerous family leisure options during these days and these are some of the proposals that we make to enjoy the White Week in Malaga.

Visit the Caminito del Rey

Without a doubt, the Caminito del Rey is an essential visit when you are in Malaga. Reopened to the public after an intensive renovation in 2015, it offers visitors a 8.5-kilometer route between paths and walkways that are suspended 100 meters high. Your visit brings us closer to the Natural Park of the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, a limestone gorge created by the passage of the Guadalhorce River over millions of years. The culminating moment: crossing the suspension bridge almost at the end of the tour. To visit it, a prior reservation is required at https://reservas.caminitodelrey.info/ There are also many establishments in the environment that can facilitate access. Check their profiles on social networks before your visit for possible incidents.

Enjoy a good day in Alhaurín el Grande

Good gastronomy, heritage, and an unbeatable atmosphere. Alhaurín el Grande is a good proposal to spend a pleasant day enjoying the sun, and its heritage. You can start the day having breakfast in any of its cafeterias. From an English breakfast at El Mori, to the best patisserie at José Miguel Pasteleros or churros with chocolate at Cafetería Dani. You can walk through its streets and enjoy its commercial life, with clothing stores, electronics, shoe stores, accessories, and everything you need. To eat, the offer is splendid. In the downtown area we recommend Bar Sardina or Tapería la Abuela, and in the Camino de Málaga area, we encourage you to visit La Bodeguita, Casa Paco or El Fogón de Morales.

Ride your bike along the Senda Litoral

If you like to enjoy the outdoors, and especially the sea, Malaga has more than 100 kilometers of trails that will allow you to enjoy the best coastal landscapes. The Senda Litoral de Málaga brings us closer to the beauty of the coastline and of 14 municipalities in the province. Most of the sections can be done both on foot and by bike, although there is priority for pedestrians. The most recommended sections to do by bike, as they have a specific lane for this, are those of Rincón de la Victoria, which crosses the Cantal Tunnels, and the section that runs between the mouth of the Guadalhorce and El Palo.

Discover the paradise of the mouth of the Guadalhorce

In the surroundings of the new Guadalhorce bridge, there is a true oasis of peace between the noise of the city and the sea: the Natural Area of the Guadalhorce Mouth. You will enjoy a unique environment that combines species of birds and flora typical of the riverbank and coastal areas. Walk its two marked routes, the Río Viejo and the Laguna Grande. Or stop to contemplate the ornithological wealth in any of its five bird observatories.

Enjoy an afternoon of shopping in Miramar (while you leave the kids in the playroom)

The Miramar Shopping Center, located in Fuengirola, offers a free playroom service for children between 4 and 12 years old on Saturdays in February.

Every day, for a price of € 12, children between 6 and 12 years old can participate in this activity from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Painting and ceramics will be some of the artistic expressions of the Neolithic that your sons and daughters will discover in these sessions.
