Best time of year to visit Malaga
This blog post about Malaga is a perennial favourite and it also does well on the search engines.

The most surprisingly popular blog post about Malaga
It always surprises us to discover that our guide to getting around by bus is one of the most read blog posts about Malaga. So popular in fact that it ranks in the top three every year.
We’re surprised because Malaga is a small, flat city and apart from the Airport bus, you probably don’t need to use the bus during your stay. But we’re obviously wrong in this because tens of thousands of people read our bus travel in Malaga post every year!
We also have articles about getting around Malaga by bike, car and metro.

Information about what’s on is a hot commodity on our website and all blog posts about Malaga events, seasonal or monthly, rank at the top. Our Malaga Christmas FAQs is the most popular, although as you’ll see below it has some strong competition.
Our Christmas section is perhaps the one that remains popular for the longest. The Christmas FAQs start ranking at the top from mid-August onwards and stay there until early January. But given how lovely Malaga looks during the festive period, we’re not surprised!
