Málaga in April

Spring at its liveliest

The short answer

April is one of the best months to visit Málaga.

April is warm, bright and increasingly ideal for outdoor exploring. Semana Santa can make the city exceptionally lively, while the rest of the month offers excellent conditions for walking and dining outside.
