How to enjoy the Malaga film festival?
As we know, this festival is open to the public. There are different projection spaces where to enjoy films, short films and special sessions. These are emblematic places such as the Cervantes Theatre, the Albéniz cinema, the Echegaray Theatre, the Picasso Málaga Museum and the María Victoria Atencia Provincial Cultural Center.

During the ten days that the event lasts, other artistic and recreational activities will take place in the centre of the city. Among these activities, the GastroWeekend stands out, which will allow the gastronomy to be combined with the enjoyment of the cinema. And an open-air exhibition of photographs of the festival will be located in Calle Larios.
Accommodation during the Malaga Film Festival.
During these festival days the city grows considerably, this is why we recommend to seek accommodation in Malaga in advance to avoid high prices.
The best option would be to look for a hotel in the center of Malaga, this way you will be very close to the most important places to enjoy the activities. However, many others lean towards the outskirts. Above all, in Torremolinos, Fuengirola or Benalmádena, the advantage here is that you can also enjoy a bit of the sea and the coast, the hotel prices can be a bit cheaper and the trip to the center of Malaga is fix in a single trip by train.
