Transportation

If you want to have fun without worries, then a good option is taking a transfer. For this I recommend malagatransfer.co.uk, but you can check many others transfers websites here. You can choose a vehicle according to your needs, in case you want all your family or friends to fit.

Another option is using your own vehicle, but remember not to drink, as there use to be many alcohol controls on road during the special dates.

For using public transport, please read our other guides.

Halloween and ghost stories

Paranormal activity looks like to happen more usually by the end of October or beginning of November…do you agree? Did it happen to you or anyone you know?

Some people also say during this night the living and dead world are closer…should we be afraid? Seems like not a bad idea to be, at least during the Halloween Night.

Finally, you can read more mystery and ghost stories that happened in Malaga.
