Although the Carnival is celebrated all over Andalucia—the Cadiz Carnival is probably the most famous—for this article, we’ll focus on the Málaga Carnival. Only 25 minutes from our hotel and easily accessible, it’s a ‘must visit’ if you’re planning a trip to the Costa del Sol in February.

We’re lucky enough to enjoy mild winters. This luxury allows the city of Málaga to live one of its most colourful, multicultural and spontaneous festivities of the year: The Carnival.
