What We Did with One Day in Málaga from the Ship

Creator's Key Takeaways
One of the big benefits is that we are docked close enough where you can get into the city and then back without wasting any of that time.
If there's one place that you're going to have lunch in, especially when you're getting off the ship, it's El Pinki.
You have to come here when you're here. And we will definitely be coming next year.
I wouldn't recommend trying to do it all of it in one day because the benefit of it is that you can really just take it in slowly, get the stuff you want to get done, and then experience a whole different side of it.
