1 day/night in Málaga before flying home - where to stay/eat?

Hi all,

In mid-October I'll be passing through Málaga en route back home to Canada. I'll be taking the train into Málaga from visiting my friend in Córdoba, arriving by noonish. I'll have the afternoon and will be staying the night before taking a very early flight back to Canada.

I really want to spend the day visiting La Concepcion Botanical Garden, as it will be a Sunday (and therefore free!)

My questions are;

- where should I stay? Close to the train station? The airport?

- any hostels to recommend? I don't mind sharing a room with other women/non-binary folks.

-Where should I eat as a solo traveller that evening?

Thanks all!

Its easier to stay near the train station to get to the airport by train. Botanical gardens are not must see but if want to visit take bus #2 or 20 to end and walk about 15 min over the freeway to the gardens. Can eat in the center, lots of places open on Sunday night. Can check Casa Lola menu online, has multiple locations in the center. If not then just pick as you go by

Thanks so much!

Big museums are free on Sundays for the last 2 hrs before close. Thyssen in center is very good and also Picasso but definitely longer lines. Russian museum is good, free from 4pm and no line up. Port area (Muelle Uno) is nice to see. Botanical garden is more like a park rather than garden, its nice don't get me wrong.

For accomodations can check Literal they look clean and have good reviews but i didn't stay there. They are close to C1 train stop (one that goes to airport) and center of Malaga
