Its a big place.
Lots to do , it all depends where you are going and what kind of things you like doing.
Loads of places to visit good food and drink.
Something for everyone.

There isn't much to do here when it rains, especially if you have young children. There is always the Picasso Museum :roll: if not indoor shopping centres. Sorry not to be more inspiring.

hi, going to malaga in october,school half term,
was supposed to be going to eygpt but lost it due to xl flights,so changed to malaga,torrox

I presume the OP is going to Torrox costa and not Torrox pueblo, so he/she will be between Malaga and Nerja

So, there's always Torrox pueblo to visit or about 5 kms away is Nerja, Malaga city is further in the other direction.(appox 45kms)
If it's raining a short taxi ride to Nerja should fill the day until the sun comes out to play again and a visit to the famous caves.

spent the last week of september in torremolinos, the area was tired looking and the beaches poor.we thought benidorm promenade and spotless golden beach way in front, unfortunately the weather was mixed. (more so when the weather at home was good) for 3 days it was overcast in the mornings and rained virtually all of one day.
we were able to walk on the front to benalmadena/marina which was nice,visit fuengirola and malaga. in malaga we took the city tour bus get off at the picasso musuem ,theres some nice cafe bars etc in that area.we laughed at the people who had no light wet weather clothing who then purchased 3 euro small umbrellas,they seemed to last for approx 10 minutes before breaking. i suggest useing the train to get about when possible, we stood all the way to malaga on the bus it was so full and the bus to fuengirola stopped every 200 yards for a bus stop.

Presumably if you are going half term you have children with you.
IMHO - the answer to your question is - nowt after the caves in Nerja.
I lived near there for 7 years and really there is nothing to do if it rains - not geared up for anything other than sunshine.
If you are taking children make sure you have plenty to keep them amused indoors.

What about a trip to Granada? The Alhambra Palace is a must-see that I intend doing our our Hallowe'en break. And if all else fails get on the local transport or hire a car & explore the area.
Sun is important & I hope we get lot(!) but don't intend letting poor weather spoiling my well-earned break. ;)

I would not recommend you drive a left hand drive hire car on unfamiliar roads - on the "wrong" side of the road - in the rain - especially on the Granada road. The spray given of by the large number of lorries that use that road sometimes make it like you are driving through thick fog - been there and done that and my OH is used to driving a LH drive car in Spain. It can be very frightening especially if it the rain is heavy.

You can get a coach trip to The Alhambra but not best seen in the rain.
