Málaga in October

Warm days, quieter streets

The short answer

October is one of the best months to visit Málaga.

October is one of Málaga's strongest months for a city-focused trip, with comfortable daytime temperatures and far less summer intensity. Rain becomes more likely, but sunny days remain common.
