How is March in Malaga?
One weekend in March I went to eat at a beach bar in Carvajal (Fuengirola) and I was able to enjoy a splendid day. I have to highlight the ease of finding parking very close to the place (I have been to the same place last summer in August and then I had to park little more far than this day).
I could not avoid thinking that many would envy being in my place in that moment.
It seems that more people had the same idea as me. Shortly after sitting and asking for the food many more people arrived … but I was able to choose a table without having to made a reservation before.
I could see how an increasing number of people decided to spend the day at the beach. A number still far from what we can find in July or August but big enough to realise that they are really enjoying the good weather.
Wondering about the city centre?
I found this video about a visit in the last week of March to the city centre:
Any day of March in Malaga
From March in advance any day is good to stroll along the shore and enjoy the beach
I could not help thinking that many would envy being in that moment in my place. Facing the sea and enjoying fried fish next to an ice cold beer. I missed walking by the shore. Next time, wanna join?
