A typical dilemma for ISA Málaga, Spain students: You need to finish your homework, but you want to go out and explore the city. Why not do both? While the University of Málaga’s library offers a quiet and relaxed place to study, there are plenty of other locations around the city of Málaga that allow students to catch some rays while also catching up on some reading.
Below is a list of the top 5 places to study (excluding the library) in Málaga!
1. Café Con Libros
With a modern style and cozy feel, Café Con Libros is centrally located in the popular Plaza Merced and is always full of international students and expats looking for a more chic alternative to traditional coffee shops. If you’re looking for a break from the tortilla española and jamón serrano, try some of Café Con Libros’ healthier food options as well as their great café con soy milk!
2. Outside of la Plaza de Toros
The tradition of bull fighting is very apparent. however, you don’t have to attend a bull fight to appreciate the beauty of the arena. Students can enjoy this historic and vibrant monument from outside the ring by studying on the benches of its adjacent plaza.
3. The beach in El Palo

4. El Castillo de Gibralfaro
Take a quick hike up to the top of this 10th century castle for a prime place to study. Grab a seat at the top and take in the gorgeous panoramic view of the city and the sea before hitting the books.
