Creator's Key Takeaways

It was our first time in Malaga and we were really blown away with how stunning this city is

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Jibralta, but we have to say our first ever visit to Malaga really did blow us away.

It was all delicious.

The walk into the city was lined with shops, bars, and restaurants.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get the shuttle in Gibraltar to save time and money.
Bring British pounds for Gibraltar as euros have a poor exchange rate.
Use the free shuttle bus in Malaga or walk if it's a beautiful day.
Try tapas in Malaga for good value food and drinks.

YouTube Video Description

In episode 3 of our Pre Christmas Cunard Queen Victoria Cruise to Spain and Portugal, we arrive in the ports of Gibraltar and Malaga, Spain. In Gibraltar we show you the best may to get to the Casemate Gates from the ship, celebrate a friends birthday, explore the streets and do some shopping. It was our first time in Malaga and we were really blown away with how stunning this city is, loved exploring this city and we really didn't expect that! On the ship we show you more venues and what life is like on board the smallest ship in the Cunard fleet! We cruised on Cunard Queen Victoria Atlantic Coast Adventure for 11 nights on the 5th December 2024. We cruised from Southampton to La Coruna, Gibraltar, Malaga, Cadiz, Lisbon and Vigo. We booked an Obstructed View Balcony Cabin and the cruise cost £1199 per person (£2398 for 2) and included $1180 onboard credit which was a promotion that we found when we cruised on Queen Anne. We booked when we were onboard Queen Anne, then transferred the cruise over to our travel agent Dan (see his contact details below). It is always worth checking when cruising what the future prices are as often they will have offers and deals. We saved money on our Obstructed View Balcony Cabin at the time as it was the same price as an Outside Cabin and the onboard credit covered all our drinks and spending money. This was a great value cruise! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌎 WEBSITE - Visit our website Paul and Carole Love to Travel - https://paulandcarolelovetotravel.com for more cruise and travel inspiration 🗺️✈️ 📧 NEWSLETTER - Sign up for our Newsletter here for all our news and group cruises information - https://paulandcarolelovetotravel.com/sign-up-for-our-newsletter/ 🌊 CRUISE BOOKING - Our recommended travel agent is Dan Hammond of GoCruise&Travel.
