In fact Málaga has a lot to offer sports-wise – just ask the drivers of taxis from Málaga airport to point out the sporting sites en route to your hotel. You’ll be pleasantly surprised! Taxi drivers know their way around this bustling city and they are a great way to get a first introduction to sites that you may want to see – and not just sports sites of course. Here are just some of the sporting venues that the drivers of taxis from Málaga airport may pass on their way to your hotel or villa. Don’t hesitate to ask them for advice or direction – they love to help and are proud of their city and everything it has to offer its visitors. La Rosaleda Stadium La Rosaleda (Rose Garden in English) is Málaga’s football stadium. It has a seating capacity of just over 30,000 – the perfect size for the games played here in the city. The stadium is the home of Málaga FC, a club that was formed around 1904 and is today in Spain’s Premier Division. The Rose Garden, however, only became the club’s official home in 1941 after its old stadium was flooded. The club is very active in the city’s life and has a football academy, an under-18, and a women’s team. If you want to see a good game of football, go to the club’s website and see what games are playing during your stay. Plaza de Toros de La Malagueta Yes, it’s a bullring and, while it may not be everybody’s cup of tea, it is an integral part of Spanish culture. If taxis from Málaga Airport pass it, your driver will almost certainly point it out with great pride. The bullring, built by architect Joaquín Rucoba, dates back to 1876 and consists of a 16-sided structure. The architecture is typical of the period with many stunning arches on the outer façade. In fact, since 1976 it has been classified as one of Spain’s protected cultural assets. The ring underwent extensive renovations in 2010 and can now hold over 9,000 spectators. You can see a bullfight during the season which runs from April through September. Tickets are available from UniCaja banks in Málaga, or from the box office at La Malagueta. If you don’t fancy a bullfight, you can visit just the arena and its museum. Palacio de Deportes José María Martín Carpena This indoor sports arena is home to one of Spain’s best basketball teams, Baloncesto Málaga, (or Unicaja, as its more commonly known). You can see what games are scheduled and get tickets at the club's website. The arena, which opened in 1999, hosts other events as well as basketball. These include indoor tennis, boxing and others. The arena, which can seat up to 14,000, also hosts many concerts, exhibitions and conferences throughout the year, so it’s worthwhile asking at your hotel what’s on during your stay.
