JANUARY IN MALAGA

January tends to be a calmer month in Malaga as the Christmas holidays wind down, but nevertheless, it’s a great time to visit the city!
One of the things we love about living in Spain is that the holidays don’t end on New Year’s Day. We celebrate Three Kings Day on January the 6th, which brings with it all the festivities of gifts, good food and family. There are lots of things to do in Malaga in January, so here are our best picks.

Enjoy the celebration of Three Kings Day.

On the fifth of January across Spain you will find parades in anticipation of the arrival of the Three Kings. The parades are often huge affairs complete with floats, bands and lots of candy for the children. If you will be in Malaga for Three Kings Day, it is well worth a trip downtown to see the parade.

The festive atmosphere is lots of fun and you can top off your evening with a slice of the traditional Roscón de Reyes. The next morning on January sixth, most Spanish families exchange their gifts, so join the festivities in Malaga and hope that the Three Kings have brought you some nice gifts too!

One of the best things to do in Malaga in January is celebrate Three Kings Day. This delicious Roscon de Reyes is the traditional cake. If you get a piece with the hard lima bean inside, it means you'll be footing the bill!

Take advantage of the sales!

If you will be visiting Malaga soon after the Christmas celebrations end, you’re in luck! This is one of the biggest sale seasons of the year and many of the stores have great deals. We suggest shopping during the week when there are fewer people at the stores, or trying some of the smaller shops, like the vintage stores or independently run boutiques in the center.

Sample some local craft beer

There is something about January that invites you to spend a bit more time indoors (although the weather in Málaga is generally mild). There is a bit of a more humid chill in the air that gets us in the mood for a good craft beer with friends on a Friday after work. If you enjoy trying different craft beers, this is one of the best things to do in Malaga in January.

See the Cirque du Soleil

By now everyone’s heard of the beautiful acrobatic circus performance that is Cirque du Soleil. And in January they are bringing the “Varekai” show to Malaga. It’s a great chance to enjoy a magical evening with the family while you are in Malaga. The Cirque du Soleil will be in town January 21st-24th and tickets are already on sale, so get yours quick and enjoy this interesting performance!

All that jazz

Maybe it’s just us, but we’ve always thought that winter was the perfect time to head out to a jazz club. There’s something about a darkened room, music that seems to vibrate down to your bones and a nice drink in hand is our perfect plan for a weekend night. We suggest Clarence Jazz Club or The Wall at the Hotel Vincci.

Take a food tour!

We don’t close up shop in the wintertime, so make sure you let us know when you are going to be here and come along on one of our delicious food tours!

It’s a 3.5 hour experience which involves exploring the streets of Malaga’s historic center, trying some of our delicious local specialties, and sampling wines from Malaga’s two wine regions, all in the company of an expert local guide!
