Christmas in Málaga: lights, a unique atmosphere and things to do to make the most of it ✨🎄
Christmas in Málaga has a special charm. Every year, thousands of visitors choose the city to experience a festive season brimming with colour, tradition, delicious food and a climate that’s perfect for a leisurely stroll. If you’re thinking of coming during these much-anticipated weeks, here’s a guide to the best things to do and everything that makes this time of year so special in our region.

The light display on Calle Larios ✨
The street is adorned with a display of lights that stretches the entire length of the street.

Every afternoon, there’s an illuminated musical show: the lights change, flash and ‘dance’ in time to Christmas songs.

The show lasts a few minutes, but the atmosphere before and after is part of the experience.

The show takes place every two hours; this year, the times are: 18:30 – 20:30 – 22:00.

Between shows, Larios Street remains lit up continuously so that people can stroll along at their leisure.
The show at Málaga Cathedral 🎶🌟
An audiovisual display is projected onto the side façade (next to Calle Postigo de los Abades).

The projection combines music and visual effects that transform the façade into a moving Christmas ‘fairy tale’.

It is repeated several times each evening, at the same time as the light show on Calle Larios.
Christmas markets and festive atmosphere 🎁

Muelle Uno is decked out for Christmas with craft stalls, decorations, music and sea views you won’t find anywhere else. You’ll find gifts, local produce, accessories, sweets and a very relaxed atmosphere for a stroll, both day and night.

The promenade alongside the Palmeral de las Sorpresas, with boats, lights and the sound of the sea, makes it an unmissable stop at this time of year.

Streets such as San Juan, Strachan, Granada, Comedias and Alcazabilla are filled with decorations, music and people enjoying every corner. The terraces are bustling, the shops stay open late and the atmosphere invites you to take your time and enjoy the night.

The Alcazaba and the Roman Theatre, illuminated at night, add a touch of magic to the stroll.

A taste of Málaga: churros, hot chocolate and local cuisine 🍫🥨
The historic centre is full of life in December: lights, bustling streets and plenty of places to stop for a bite to eat, enjoy some churros, sample some tapas or simply soak up the atmosphere. Here’s a clear and useful selection.

Casa Aranda: A Málaga classic. Freshly made churros and porras.

Churrería la Malagueña: Right in the centre, serving tejeringos and churros.

El Pimpi: One of Málaga’s most popular spots. Tapas and Andalusian dishes with views of the Roman Theatre.

Mesón Mariano: Highly rated amongst locals. Homely Málaga cuisine.

Casa Lola: One of the most traditional spots for tapas. There are several branches in the city centre.

All this and much more awaits you in Málaga – don’t miss out and stay with us for a dream Christmas!

How to get your accommodation ready for Christmas and win over travellers 🎄
Christmas is one of the most special times of the year and also a fantastic opportunity for your accommodation to stand out. Many travellers are looking to spend the festive season in a cosy country cottage, a spacious villa for family gatherings or a beautifully decorated flat in the city centre. Preparing your property well makes all the difference between just another booking… and an experience they’ll recommend to everyone.

Here are the key tips to ensure your property is ready and looks its best this festive season.

1. Create a warm and festive atmosphere 🤶
Small touches make travellers feel they’ve arrived at a special place.

Add warm lighting in communal areas.

Put up a small, tastefully decorated tree.

A welcome pack with turrón or a bottle of local wine.

A guide to Christmas activities in the area: markets, illuminations, events.

Soft blankets and a tray with hot chocolate or herbal teas.
2. Prepare the accommodation for the cold 🪵
Many travellers are looking for a cosy, homely atmosphere.

Check that the heating and air conditioning are working properly.

Make sure you have extra blankets in the bedrooms and living room.

Check that doors and windows close properly to ensure a comfortable temperature.

Make sure terrace areas are suitable for use even in winter (with blankets or heaters)
3. Step up cleaning and maintenance ✨
At this time of year, it’s essential that everything is spotless.

Check the outdoor and indoor lighting.

Get the fireplace ready if the property has one.

Make sure the kitchen is fully equipped for Christmas dinners.

Check the condition of paths and access routes.
4. Clear communication with guests ☃️
Provide information on:

Services available over the festive period.

Important rules (barbecue, fireplace, noise, visitors).

Opening hours of supermarkets and public transport on public holidays.

Good communication prevents issues and conveys professionalism.
6. Up-to-date photos 🎁
If you’ve decorated your house, villa or flat for Christmas, update the photos in your advert. A festive image catches the eye and speeds up bookings.

Include night-time photos with warm lighting.

Highlight details such as the fireplace, a laid table or cosy corners.

Share images of the decorated outdoor areas or relaxation zones.

We’re here to help, advise and guide you through everything you need. If you own a property and want to get the most out of it without any worries, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.

Cubo’s Owner Summit 2025: the event that brings together holiday let owners in Málaga
On 24 October, the Antonio Gala Theatre in Alhaurín el Grande was filled with excitement, a sense of community and shared pride to mark the second edition of the Cubo’s Owner Summit. More than 450 property owners, alongside representatives from institutions, local authorities and partners from the tourism sector, joined us for an event that is firmly establishing itself as a must-attend for the holiday rental sector in Málaga.

📈 A year of growth and commitment

During his speech, Juan Cubo, CEO of Cubo’s Holiday Homes, highlighted the pillars underpinning the company’s growth: constant adaptation to regulatory changes, technological innovation, transparency with owners and the value of the team as its greatest strength.

2025 is proving to be a year of consolidation: more than 30,000 travellers have placed their trust in Cubo’s up to September, with an average stay of over 8 nights and 79.5 per cent of visitors coming from abroad.

Thanks to the joint efforts of the property owners, the tourism activity managed by Cubo’s has generated an economic impact of over 53 million euros, reflecting how holiday rentals drive employment and wealth, particularly in inland towns.

Furthermore, we reaffirm our social commitment by collaborating with organisations such as Un Sí Por La Vida and Hogar Abierto, because we believe that tourism should also generate well-being and opportunities for everyone.

✨ Innovation, compliance and the traveller’s experience
One of the most eagerly anticipated moments of the Summit was the presentation of the work carried out by the various departments at Cubo’s Holiday Homes, which demonstrated how professionalism, technology and a personal touch continue to make a difference.

Marketing (Paula Gómez) presented the new digital campaigns and collaborations with influencers, as well as the launch of loyalty strategies to increase direct bookings and strengthen the Cubo’s brand.

Product (Beatriz) discussed improvements to the presentation of the properties, the creation of more attractive visual content and new partnerships with international platforms to boost bookings, particularly during the mid and low seasons.

Revenue (Juan Manuel and Alejandro) analysed the year’s results following the implementation of dynamic pricing, which has enabled the company to optimise profitability and maintain stable occupancy rates even during months of lower demand.

Guest Services (Natalia) explained the roll-out of direct communication channels and the automation of responses using artificial intelligence, improving response times and customer satisfaction.

Quality (Alejandro) presented the new system for individualised property monitoring, designed to identify opportunities for improvement and reinforce maintenance and cleaning standards.

The Legal Department (Marina) provided an update on the new tourism regulations, with particular focus on the Unique Rental Registration Number.

This presentation demonstrated the whole team’s commitment to moving towards a more efficient and transparent management model, aligned with the demands of today’s market.
💬 The holiday rental sector: risks and opportunities

One of the most enlightening moments of the event was the round-table discussion ‘The holiday rental sector: risks and opportunities’, a forum for debate that addressed the sector’s main challenges and future prospects.

The panel consisted of Mar Alcázar, a lawyer specialising in tourism and legal adviser to Alhaurín el Grande Town Council; Álvaro Graciani, a lawyer and economist, an expert in taxation and a commentator on tourism regulations; Juanjo Bande, an architect and property developer, known for his outreach work on social media; Gabriel Pérez, Commercial Director of Roomonitor, a technology company specialising in the monitoring and management of holiday accommodation; and Juan Cubo, in his capacity as president of AVVAPRO (Association of Tourist Accommodation in Andalusia).

During the discussion, the speakers addressed the regulatory changes the sector will face in the coming years, the digitalisation of processes, owners’ tax liabilities, sustainability and the importance of maintaining professional standards as a guarantee for the future.
The speakers agreed that striking a balance between economic development, regulation and sustainability will be key to further consolidating the Andalusian holiday rental model.

🏆 Recognition of our owners’ efforts

As we do every year, we wanted to recognise the dedication and commitment of those who make it possible for Cubo’s to continue growing. The winners of the 2025 Best Accommodation Awards were:

🏅 Best Apartment: Cubo’s Las Acacias Beach
Apartment 🏅 Best Country House: Cubo’s Huertas de Alhaurín
Country House 🏅 Best Villas: Cubo’s Whitestone Villa Family Fun and Cubo’s Villa Los Javieles

🏛️ Institutional presence and industry partnerships

The event was attended by numerous local, provincial and regional authorities, including Anthony Bermúdez, Mayor of Alhaurín el Grande; Toñi Ledesma, Vice-President of the Málaga Provincial Council; and María Rosa Morales, Regional Representative of the Andalusian Regional Government.

Anthony Bermúdez highlighted “the essential role of Cubo’s Holiday Homes as a pioneer in the municipality’s tourism development”, emphasising its contribution to local employment and the promotion of retail and the hospitality sector. He also noted that Cubo’s plays a decisive role in positioning Alhaurín el Grande as a high-quality tourist destination, and reaffirmed the Town Council’s commitment to continuing to work together to strengthen this image.

For her part, Toñi Ledesma highlighted “the enormous tourism potential of Málaga, both on the Costa del Sol and inland”, emphasising the importance of diversifying the offering and promoting sustainable tourism that benefits all municipalities in the province through public-private partnership.

The event was also attended by representatives from our main partners and collaborators in the sector:
Booking.com, Airbnb, VRBO, Beyond, Upmarket and Lauro Golf, amongst others, who took part in this day of networking and recognised Cubo’s professionalism and management model as a benchmark in holiday tourism in Andalusia.

How can you increase the profitability of your property in Málaga?
Málaga has established itself as one of Europe’s most attractive tourist destinations. With an enviable climate, a rich cultural and culinary scene, and the Costa del Sol as a backdrop, demand for holiday accommodation continues to grow year on year. If you own a holiday home, the big question is: how can you maximise your property’s profitability without making life more complicated?

At Cubo’s Holiday Homes, having exclusively managed over 400 properties since 2005, we know the key factors that make all the difference. Here’s how to get the most out of your holiday home in Málaga.

1. Implement a dynamic pricing strategy for your property
The peak season in Málaga isn’t the same as in autumn or winter. Adjusting prices based on demand, local events or even the weather can have a significant impact on your income. A revenue management system allows you to:

Increase occupancy during months of low demand.

Raise the average price per night on key dates.

Compete effectively with other accommodation providers.
2. Optimise your listing on holiday booking platforms
Airbnb, Booking and Vrbo are global showcases. But simply having a listing isn’t enough:

Professional photography that highlights your property’s strengths.

Clear descriptions, translated into several languages.

Up-to-date information on services and rules.

A well-crafted listing can improve visibility and generate up to 30 per cent more bookings.
3. Offer travellers a complete experience

Nowadays, guests are looking for more than just a place to stay. They want to experience Málaga like a local:

Information on nearby activities (Caminito del Rey, museums, beaches, golf).

Extra services such as airport transfers, bike hire or wine tastings.

Little welcome touches that take them by surprise.

The more positive the experience, the better the reviews… and the more bookings you’ll get.
4. Keep the property in tip-top condition
Good maintenance of your holiday property is key to avoiding negative reviews:

Regular checks on appliances, air conditioning and the swimming pool.

Well-maintained gardens and outdoor areas.

Professional cleaning after every stay.

Check Wi-Fi and smart devices.

Accommodation in good condition builds trust and increases the percentage of returning guests.
5. Rely on professional management
Many owners find that managing bookings, cleaning, issues and invoicing takes up too much of their time. Delegating to a specialist company such as Cubo’s Holiday Homes guarantees you:

Greater visibility on booking platforms and better partnership terms.

Comprehensive management of bookings, deposits and guest support.

Regular reports on your property’s profitability.

Personalised marketing campaigns for each property.

High-quality video and photo features.

All the necessary legal documentation to manage your property as a holiday let.
6. Maximise your property’s profitability with us

The profitability of your property in Málaga depends not only on its location, but also on how it is managed. With the right strategy, an optimised listing and the support of an expert team, your property can become a stable and growing source of income.

At Cubo’s Holiday Homes, we help owners like you maximise the return on your properties, taking care of every detail so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Single Rental Register: How does it affect your holiday let?
In this article, we explain clearly and simply what the new Single Tenancy Register is, who is required to register, and why it is compulsory if you have a property let for tourist or seasonal accommodation.

What is the Single Tenancy Register?

Royal Decree 1312/2024 came into force on 2 January 2024. It regulates the creation of the Single Register of Short-Term Lettings and the Digital One-Stop Shop to centralise information on tourist accommodation across the country.

Who is affected?

This new register is compulsory for all properties let on a short-stay or seasonal basis, i.e. those that do not constitute the tenant’s usual place of residence. This includes:

Tourist Accommodation Properties (VUT)

Rural Tourist Accommodation Properties (VTAR)

From 1 July 2025, all properties must be registered in this scheme in order to be advertised on platforms such as Airbnb, Booking or other online channels.

📌 Important: This new register does not replace the Andalusian Tourism Register, but rather complements it. Even if you are already registered with the Andalusian Regional Government, you will still need to complete this new procedure.

How do you complete the Single Register procedure?
The procedure is carried out online via the Electronic Portal of the Spanish Association of Registrars, and you will need a digital certificate or an electronic ID card to access it.

Steps to register:

Register as a paid user on the platform.

Complete the form for the Allocation of a Short-Term Rental Registration Number.

Submit the documentation required by the regulations electronically.

If everything is in order, you will receive the Rental Registration Number (NRA), which will be recorded as a marginal note on the property’s title deed.

⚠️ Don’t leave this until the last minute. If your registration is delayed, your property may no longer appear on booking portals.

You can access it at: https://sede.registradores.org/sede/sede-corpme-web/home
Would you prefer us to take care of it for you?

At Cubo’s Holiday Homes, we can handle this process for you. To do so, we’ll need documents such as:

Digital certificate and its password

Up-to-date title deeds (with CRU or simple extract)

Registration with the Tourism Register

A copy of the owner’s National Identity Card

📩 If you’d like our team to handle this for you, please get in touch for further information. We’d be delighted to help you and answer any questions you may have.

🚫 Please note: If your property does not have its new-build works or AFO registered, it will not be possible to obtain the NRA. In that case, please contact us and we’ll advise you on how to legalise and register your property correctly.

Are you a property owner with us? We’d love to hear from you!

If you’re a property owner with Cubo’s Holiday Homes and already have your Rental Registration Number (NRA), please send it to us as soon as possible so we can update your profile and ensure your listing remains visible on all platforms.

At Cubo’s Holiday Homes, we want to make this new process as straightforward as possible for our owners. Whether you decide to handle it yourself or with the help of your agent, we simply ask that you let us know if your property is part of our portfolio.

If you have any questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
📞 Thank you for trusting us to manage your holiday accommodation in Málaga!

Would you like to start letting out your property as a holiday rental?

Get in touch! At Cubo’s Holiday Homes, we’ll help you with all the necessary legal procedures to get your property up and running. What’s more, we’ll advise you on how to get extra returns from your second home through holiday rentals, with the peace of mind that comes from having a specialist team managing everything for you.
