Especially in autumn you should definitely get to know the surroundings of Málaga and the beaches. With a rental car you can be flexible on the road and even visit several places on the same day. Malaga is located directly on the Atlantic Ocean and is therefore ideal as a starting point for trips to other coastal towns. Temperatures can still be high on the Costa del Sol even in the fall, so a refreshing dip in the Atlantic Ocean is highly desirable.
