In places like the Costa del Sol, where we can enjoy good weather almost all year round, one of life’s simple pleasures is enjoying food outdoors. Today we’re going to discover the best places for a picnic in Málaga—a unique plan to enjoy nature to the fullest.

El Cerrado

El Cerrado offers a fantastic recreational area with picnic tables and even barbecues, in case you’re up for grilling your own recipes.

It’s a perfect option for hiking, with a 2.9 km trail that takes about an hour and 20 minutes to complete.

The trail is of medium difficulty, ideal for going with friends or even bringing your dogs along to enjoy with them. It’s also a great choice for cycling thanks to its wide dirt paths.

Parque Del Oeste

The magnificent Parque del Oeste has a large area and is located very close to the beach. It features a beautiful pond and several areas where you can take a peaceful stroll or practice any sport, as well as plenty of picnic spots with tables.

It’s known for its large ponds where you can spot all kinds of animals, from turtles to ducks and swans. It also has a fantastic outdoor gym where you can get in a workout before your meal.

Riberas de Guadalhorce

This recreational area is one of the most well-known picnic spots in Málaga, so during peak tourist season, it’s important to arrive early to grab a spot since picnic tables are limited.

It’s one of the best places to spend a full day outdoors and in direct contact with nature. In this area, you can even see grazing animals, and it’s another place where your dogs will also have a blast.

Parque de Laguna de la Barrera

A true forest park with an artificial lagoon, perfect for walking, running, or cycling.

It’s known for its one-kilometre path around the pond. It also features a large pine forest, picnic areas to enjoy meals outdoors, and green zones for relaxing in the city surrounded by nature.

Playa de La Malagueta y de Huelin

The great weather in the city makes La Malagueta Beach one of the best picnic spots in Málaga almost all year long.

It’s one of the most central and well-known beaches, along with Huelin Beach, which you can easily reach with a pleasant walk from the historic centre.

In Huelin, you’ll find one of Healthy Poke’s restaurants where you can enjoy freshly made healthy food. Everything you need to enjoy delicious meals in the open air—so before heading to the beach…
