Useful tips for car travellers

• Be aware of the 'Zona de Bajas Emisiones' (Low Emission Zone) in Malaga; parking rates in city centers typically range from €1 to €2 per hour, and it's best to book parking in advance if you can, as spaces can be limited.
• Upon arriving in Malaga, use the ‘Málaga City’ app for real-time parking availability; a popular choice is the Parking Marqués de la Villa, where daily rates are around €20, but check if your hotel offers a discount for guests.
