Two-and-a-half hours away from Madrid on the southern coast of Spain, Málaga is a low-key city full of sights, history, and activities to keep a toddler entertained. One highlight? Sitting in cafes surrounding city squares and watching street performers dance and sing. The park of Málaga also has several playgrounds and plenty of shady spots for picnics. But of course, for many families, the biggest attraction is the sand. Families love El Candado beach, which also features plenty of restaurants and room to set up a spot on the beach for the day.
