Between friends: a little Malaga secret
The seashell graves of the English Cemetery
Here’s a little tip to pass on to friends: make time for a quiet daytime discovery before the Halloween parties.
Look closely in the oldest walled section of Malaga’s English Cemetery and you will find something unexpected: graves built on brick bases and covered in seashells.
This original enclosure dates from 1831. It is marked as number 13 on the cemetery’s visitor map, making it easy to find during a daytime visit. An angel monument elsewhere in the grounds offers another striking detail to look for.
The cemetery’s foundation explains that, before its creation, non-Catholic burials in Malaga took place on the beach at night. British consul William Mark worked to secure a proper burial ground for his community. That history gives this quiet corner of the city a meaning that goes far beyond Halloween decorations.
Our suggested plan: visit in the morning, follow the cemetery map and then head towards the Malagueta seafront for a coffee. Save the costumed celebrations for the evening.
This is a working place of remembrance: keep to the paths and treat the graves with care.
Visit details: Avenida de Pries, 1. Regular opening is Tuesday–Sunday, 9am–2pm, with the ticket office closing half an hour earlier. General admission is €5; reduced admission is €4 with eligibility evidence. Accompanied children under 12 enter free. The cemetery normally closes on Mondays, except public holidays; confirm arrangements for 2 November before visiting.

Free Halloween events in Malaga
Churriana’s Noche del Terror: 31 October
The 11th Noche del Terror de Churriana takes place in the Las Pedrizas neighbourhood on 31 October, from 7pm to midnight. Malaga City Council lists it as free and open to all ages.
The scary route runs through neighbourhood streets, including Calle Decano Eduardo Palanca and Calle Pedrizal. Costumes are encouraged.
For families, our advice is to judge the atmosphere before committing to the full route: an all-ages listing does not tell you how a younger child will react to frightening characters.
Churriana is a district of Malaga, away from the historic centre. Plan your return journey as well as your arrival.

Spanish traditions around Halloween
Halloween celebrations sit alongside All Saints’ Day on 1 November, when families remember loved ones and visit cemeteries.
For a seasonal taste, look for huesos de santo, marzipan sweets traditionally filled with a sweet egg-yolk mixture, and roasted chestnuts. They make an autumn stop between sightseeing and your evening plans.
In 2026, All Saints’ Day falls on Sunday, and the associated public holiday in Andalusia is observed on Monday 2 November. Check individual shop, attraction and restaurant hours over the long weekend.

Practical tips for your Halloween weekend
Costumes: Luis Carrasquilla, at Calle Juan de Padilla, 12, is a central option for costume shopping. Check its current opening hours before going; seasonal hours from previous years may differ.
Language: ask whether theatrical activities are performed in English or Spanish. An English booking page does not guarantee an English performance.
Getting around: group your plans by location. A city-centre visit and Muelle Uno are a different outing from Churriana, the botanical garden or Humilladero. Check late transport before booking an evening event.
