Florido said: “The Family Tourism award endorses us as a great destination which adapts to the needs and desires of family tourism. We know that travelling with families requires extra planning in terms of reservations and the search for leisure activities. That is why we empathise and work towards a destination of excellence that offers solutions.”
Malaga becomes the first city in Andalucia to scoop up the award in the urban destination category, one of the four categories of recognised destinations.
It means Malaga continues its drive as the pre-eminent tourist destination in Andalucia, and is well on the way to rivalling Barcelona and Madrid nationally.
