Many of our guests are avid football fans and often enquire about Malaga FC’s home games. Going to one of Malaga’s home games is a great afternoon out and the atmosphere at the La Rosaleda stadium is absolutely amazing.
The club’s amazing run of form in the Spanish league and their recent (last night!) qualification for the knock out stages of the Champions League means that their popularity is set to soar to new heights!
So we’ve decided to put together a list of Malaga FC’s home games for this season in case you fancy heading down to watch a live game whilst you are here on holiday. The big games against Real Madrid and Barcelona will be played over the Christmas period (22nd December and 13th January) but tickets are selling fast so if you plan on going we’d recommend you buy your tickets ASAP!

This year the popular culinary event will have the novelty of offering visitors a range of traditional Mediterranean stews and soups. (My mouth is watering just thinking about it :-)).
Almost all the bars and restaurants in the town are taking part in this initiative and will compete for one of the three prizes on offer: The best tasting tapa; the one with the best presentation and the one with the most ellaborate preparation.
As is now traditional, visitors to the Tapas Route will get a special ‘passport’ where they can collect stamps from all the establishments they visit along the route. At the end of the week all those who completed their passports will be entered into a prize draw and earn the chance to win some fantastic prizes including: Weekend breaks, hotel nights (including one at Sunset Beach Club :-)), tickets to local theme parks and lots more…
Each tapa is priced at – a very reasonable – €1.50 and includes a beer or glass of wine.
