In this video, I’m cruising with Costa Cruises, onboard Costa Diadema. I’m on this cruise as part of a 14-night cruise around parts of Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, including the Canary Islands. Today, let me take you ashore in ANOTHER brand new port for me: Malaga, Spain to show you what it’s like to visit here. I’ve never been here before, so my plan for today is to head off the ship and wander to explore - this is often my favourite way to spend time on a cruise, rather than booking costly excursions. I do have a preconceived idea in my head of what a day trip to Malaga will be like - let’s see if it’s anything like this… Costa is also a new cruise line for me, so I’m really enjoying experiencing a little more every day. Since this cruise, I’ve also tried more Costa cruise ships, so ‘watch this space’ to see the more modern side of Costa on their new flagships (Smeralda and Toscana)! I really hope you enjoy this video - I’ve included chapters below to allow you to skip to any parts of interest.
