Woof it up on the beach with a Málaga holiday with a dog

Why should you take your dog to Málaga?

Málaga is a large province, and there are dozens of towns to choose from for a holiday, from glamorous Marbella to rustic Ronda. One thing that all these towns have in common is that they are increasingly dog-friendly. It's getting easier to find holiday lettings in Málaga that welcome pets, and the province is dotted with dog-friendly restaurants, parks and even museums! Plus, there are great walks for you to enjoy. Your pal can roam free on a dog beach or enjoy a walk with the dramatic backdrop of high cliffs. This is a holiday to remember, for both humans and pets.

Where are the best places to go for a walk around Málaga?

Málaga's most famous hiking trail, the dizzying Caminito del Rey, involves walking along a narrow wooden platform jutting from the side of a sheer cliff face. It's strictly humans-only - but don't worry, there are plenty of great dog walks in Málaga for you to try. Torcal de Antequera is a dog-friendly UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its dramatic landscape of karsts. There are several trails that wind through this stunning scenery, with something to suit all levels. For a coastal walk, try heading east to Frigiliana. Here you'll find a hiking trail that runs for around 7.5 km, enough for a long, satisfying walk for active dogs. There's another great trail nearby along the Chillar River. It's 8 km in total, but you can take a shortcut if you like. One of the major benefits of this trail is the chance to cool off by taking a dip in the river as you go.
