What to do in Malaga when it rains

Rainy days suit Malaga: trade the streets for its galleries and museums, a sheltered market, and a café where you can watch the weather go by.

Museums

Spend a few hours in the city's museums — many are free, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to take your time.

Art galleries

Duck into the art galleries; they're quiet, warm and rarely busier than on a wet day.
