Inland Malaga, Spain - A Place in the Sun

Inland Malaga in southern Spain is easy to get to, with more than 100 flights from the UK landing at Malaga airport each week – the flight time’s around 3 hours. The city of Malaga is one of Spain’s best known tourist destinations, but away from the sun sea and sand there’s loads to offer. Inland Malaga is known as the orchard as it’s one of Spain’s most fertile agricultural areas. And you can sample this tasty produce in the traditional Spanish towns and villages that are dotted about the area – while still being less than an hour’s drive from the coast.
