It's cleaned up its act in recent years and how has a fine souk, much like the ones you'd see in other cities in Morocco. To be honest, the only reason to visit Tangiers is if you can only spare a day in Morocco. An overnight trip might be worth it, but any more days than that and it's best to head further into Morocco, either over land or by flying to Fez or Marrakech.
There are loads of guided tours of Morocco that depart from Spain. Or travel under your own steam by ferry. Malaga has Andalusia's biggest airport and so is a very common first stop for visitors to the region.
But should they really stick around? Malaga is famous for its fried fish, which is not as good as that of Cadiz. It makes its own sweet wine, which isn't as interesting as that of Jerez. Its beaches are very average - the rest of the Costa del Sol and Costa de Almeria have nicer sand. Its nightlife is good for the area - it is the biggest city on the south coast, after all, but doesn't have anything on Madrid or Barcelona. So what does Malaga have going for it? It has the best weather for any city in Spain Seville is too hot, everywhere else has too many cold days , which means virtually year-round eating and drinking outside on terrazas.
It's just a shame that these terrazas are in a very commercial part of town, with clothing stores and frozen-yogurt outlets all around you. If you have three days in Spain and want sun, food, and nightlife, Malaga is perhaps your best bet on the mainland. But if you want more than that, you should go anywhere else. None of the above. Take the bus straight from the airport to Seville or Granada. What you do have here, though, is the best network of tours for any city in the region.
There is a high-speed AVE train from Madrid to Malaga, but apart from that, you'll probably need to take a bus. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.

The Cathedral and Alcazar in Seville are the best sights in Seville, and they are side by side. It is also a great choice as a base for a longer Andalusian trip as it is easy to take day trips from the city.
If you want an easy city break but want more chilled out vibes, iconic monuments, and a fascinating multicultural history, then Granada is the choice for you! It is also a great option if you would rather take some day trips into the nearby mountains for some hiking or skiing, depending on the season. However, if you only have a limited amount of time, we would recommend visiting Cordoba as a day trip from Seville and opting to spend a couple of nights in Granada instead.
Deciding to visit Seville or Granada or Cordoba can be a difficult choice, especially considering all the different things that each city has to offer travellers. No matter which you choose, you will undoubtedly have an amazing trip. We like WorldNomads and always use them for our trips — click here to get a quote from WorldNomads.

Sounds like you had a unique experience in Granada, Maria! I agree that it can be really hard to choose between the three — hopefully everyone can visit all of them! Thank you for the article. I want to see the Seville Cathedral, Alhambra, and Great Mosque, but is one location a better headquarters for sightseeing? It can be quite far from Granada but if your itinerary allows for it, I would highly recommend staying there for a day or two as there is so much to see and do in the city.

For a taste of the region that introduced flamenco to the world, spend time in Malaga. Unlike the more industrial and industrious north of Spain, the sunny southern Costa del Sol borders the Mediterranean and presents travelers from around the world with a warm and breezy welcome. From the preserved 19th-century buildings surrounding the Plaza de la Constitucion outside the hotel, down Larios, the five-block-long pedestrian promenade leading to the port, there are several cafes, restaurants, shops and small hostels.
You may note the many Rebajas signs. If there was an unaffordable polo shirt your son had to have in Paris, or a cotton miniskirt with flamenco flounces that your daughter craved in London, this is the place and time to buy it. Bodegas las Garrafas on Calle Mendez Munoz, founded in , fills wine carafes directly from its barrels and serves a variety of tapas Malaguenas — several Spanish hams and cheeses — brought by friendly waiters.
Just a minute walk east is an arid hill above the picturesque town park, whose cypress trees have been joined at their tops to form arcades of green. With steady sea breezes to keep you cool, the minute uphill hike leads to the walls of Gibralfaro , a fortress dating back to the days of Phoenician rule.
Below it is the well-preserved Alcazaba , a Moorish fort ca.
