More places worth the drive
Mountain park with the highest road in mainland Spain. Snow chains in winter — many rentals don't include them.
Three towns in one — a pretty pueblo, a busy beachfront and the playful Puerto Marina — plus a mountain cable car and a fairy-tale castle. A varied, family-friendly stop close to Málaga airport.
Volcanic coast and dirt-road beaches. Best by car — a compact handles it, but mind the unpaved sections.
