As the gateway to the Costa del Sol and the wider region of Andalusia, Malaga makes an excellent base for day trips to some of the most celebrated towns, cities and natural landscapes of southern Spain. Among the most sought-after excursions is the dramatic town of Ronda, perched on either side of a deep gorge spanned by a spectacular eighteenth-century bridge, one of the most photographed sights in the country. The great Andalusian cities of Granada, with its incomparable Alhambra palace, Seville, with its cathedral, Alcazar and Giralda tower, and Cordoba, with its remarkable Mosque-Cathedral, all lie within reach for a long day's excursion, offering visitors the chance to experience the masterpieces of Moorish and Christian Spain. Closer to hand, the white villages of the Andalusian interior, the pueblos blancos, with their whitewashed houses tumbling down hillsides, draw those seeking the timeless character of rural Andalusia, while the extraordinary Caminito del Rey, a vertiginous walkway pinned to the walls of a deep gorge, offers a thrilling natural adventure. The Costa del Sol resorts of Marbella and Nerja, with its famous caves, and the British enclave of Gibraltar, with its rock and Barbary macaques, are also popular destinations. Many excursions combine several highlights, with transport and a guide, while frequent trains and good roads make independent exploration straightforward, and high-speed rail links some cities quickly. The variety of available trips, spanning historic cities, dramatic natural landscapes, white villages and coastal towns, gives Malaga an exceptional range of options within easy reach. Departing from the city, day trips draw visitors keen to explore the rich heritage and scenery of Andalusia beyond the coast throughout the year across every season of the calendar. Tours can be booked online in advance, often combining several highlights in a single day, and the variety of options, from historic cities to dramatic natural landscapes and white villages, gives the city an exceptional range of excursions throughout the year across every season of the calendar.
