With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Playa de Torrebermeja, 25 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Benalmadena Marina, Selwo Marina and Tivoli World. Locals are also likely to point you toward La Misericordia Beach, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Alcazaba. (But we’d also recommend Málaga Cathedral and Gibralfaro Castle.)
