10 reasons to take a workation in Malaga
As those of us who are solopreneurs know, taking extended periods of time off from work has its challenges. Not least because if you don’t work, you don’t get paid. That’s where a workation, that combo of work + vacation, comes in. It allows you to get away from your daily routine and keep up with your workload at the same time. Some destinations lend themselves perfectly to this and Malaga turns out to be one of them. Read on to discover ten compelling reasons why you should think seriously about a workation in Malaga.
Easy to get to
No need to worry about expensive travel, long flights or jetlag when you get there. Malaga has excellent flight connections with literally dozens of European cities making it easy to pop over for a workation. In fact, it’s so easy you could easily take a workation in Malaga several times a year…
Year-round sunshine
With its privileged spot on the Mediterranean and 320 days of sunshine a year, Malaga makes the perfect place for a workation. Take yours in the winter and catch up on a good dose of sunshine while you keep up with your workload. Or go for a long workation in the summer and mix the perfect combo of beach, sunshine and continue to make a living.

Easy lifestyle
The Spanish working day divides in two with an early start and morning session until 2 or 3pm. This is followed by an afternoon/early session until 8pm. You can fit your workation in Malaga into one of these – choose to work mornings until Spanish lunchtime and then take the rest of the day off. This works best in the summer when temperatures reach their hottest in the afternoon. Or have time out in the morning and work in the afternoon/early evening. Perhaps the best option in the winter when the days are shorter and you can make the most of the sunshine in the morning.
Combine tourism and work
Malaga makes the perfect place to sightsee and work at the same time. The city offers a ton of things to do and in a choice of locations. How about doing a morning’s work and then checking out some world-class art in the afternoon? Or spending the morning lounging on the beach before you head back to your ‘office’ for a conference call?

Choice of coworking spaces
A workation only works well if you have a dedicated space to get on with your work. There’s no point in working from your accommodation because you’ll end up mixing work and play or not getting on properly with either.
To ensure success, rent a space for your work in Malaga. Preferably a quiet area that you can call your own that has all the facilities you need. Malaga has several excellent coworking spaces, most of which offer temporary slots that will suit you while you’re on workation.

Value for money
Our last compelling reason why Malaga makes such as good place for a workation has to do with cost. The city offers excellent value for money – coffee costs from €1.30, a 3-course lunch from €9 and you can get beer and grilled sardines on the beach for €4.
