Different places to cool off

When the temperature rises above 30 degrees, there are not many activities that beckon beyond those that include either air conditioning or water. The beach is the most natural place to seek out in the heat, but if you want an alternative to the crammed beaches that also offer beautiful nature experiences, we recommend a trip to some of the natural freshwater springs that you can find in the Málaga province a little inland. Some of them can be reached almost all the way by car, while others require a shorter hike. These excursions are usually very popular among the children! Remember to bring plenty of water to drink, a picnic and good shoes that can also be used in the water and on slippery rocks.
