The botanical gardens of Malaga are about 3 miles from the city centre on the 91 special bus service from the bus station (or about €12-15 each way in a taxi). The gardens are huge, offering plenty of shade from the sun and are a tranquil oasis from the bustling city centre. The onsite cafe allows you to make a day of it.
For something a little different, the Spanish Riding School offer incredible performances named after the country of origin of the Lipizzan (or Lipizzaner), the breed of horse used exclusively at the school. Performances are showcased to the public every month and it’s also possible to watch the horses during morning exercise. Opt for the guided tour if you wish to visit The Stallburg imperial stables, one of Vienna’s most distinguished Renaissance buildings and learn more about the famous stallions.
