Malaga is a destination where rugby and Mediterranean lifestyle collide to create the ultimate tour experience. On the pitch, the city’s thriving rugby community offers touring sides fixtures that are spirited, competitive, and played with the passion you’d expect from southern Spain. Local clubs are well-drilled and proud, ensuring games are always hard-fought yet followed by generous post-match hospitality — the perfect balance of grit and camaraderie.
Off the field, Malaga is a city brimming with energy. Its historic centre is a maze of sunlit plazas, winding alleys, and Moorish architecture, anchored by highlights such as the Alcazaba fortress and the Picasso Museum. Between matches, your squad can soak up the city’s culture with a walking tour or take time out in the buzzing cafés and tapas bars that spill onto every corner.
The coastline is a major draw. Malaga’s sandy beaches, lined with palm trees and chiringuitos serving fresh sardines straight from the grill, are perfect for team recovery sessions or relaxed afternoons in the sun. Adventure seekers can head into the Montes de Málaga for hiking, while groups looking for pure fun might opt for water sports along the Costa del Sol.
Logistics are seamless, with Malaga’s international airport just minutes from the city centre. The location also makes it easy to link fixtures here with Seville or Vilajoyosa, adding variety to your Spanish rugby adventure.
With its competitive rugby, sun-soaked setting, and vibrant culture, Malaga delivers a tour that’s as exciting off the pitch as it is on it.
