The UK is currently gripped by a deep chill, with the mercury dipping below zero in some areas.
Many are likely yearning for a dose of sunshine amid the winter cold. If you’re on the hunt for a last-minute jaunt this month or February, there’s an enticing destination waiting just two hours and a half from Bristol.
Malaga in Spain is known for its towering hotels and two historic citadels, the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro. With 16 sun-soaked beaches along the Mediterranean coast, culture buffs will also find plenty to explore.
And if affordability is key, you’ll be swayed by the low prices. A post by @trip.tailors on TikTok, a travel company gaining attention with adventure lovers, highlighted the affordable nature of Malaga.
The video says: “Cheap places to travel in 2025”, before introducing viewers to this cost-effective Spanish gem. Reportedly, daily expenses for food could hit as little as £15, with transport around £10 and activities from £20-£30, Trip Tailors suggests.
Bargain flights and accommodations could set you back approximately £375 for a five-day stay, especially when booked through Trip Tailors. The preferable pricing is quoted for bookings made for either January or February, with direct flights accessible from various UK locations.
Following the post’s appearance on social media, it quickly racked up 8,800 likes and scores of comments. One person posted: “Lovely on my bucket list.”
Someone else remarked: “Beautiful place.” A third user contributed: “We love budget friendly destinations.” Meanwhile, a fourth commented: “It’s absolutely amazing,” and a fifth TikTok user enthused: “Goals, I’m manifesting this for myself in 2025!”
If you’re on the hunt for flights to Malaga this month, look no further. Prices range from £32, depending on where you’re flying from in the UK.
Departures from Bristol start around £36, while those leaving from Liverpool are looking at approximately £44. From Manchester, you can snap up bargains with fares starting at just £34 courtesy of Jet2.
