    May 4 2025
    This week on the Málaga Radio Weekly Diary,

    Carmen and Baptiste take a slower stroll through the Costa del Sol — one filled with blooming patios, hidden traditions, soft music, and a few glamorous sparks of summer.

    We head to Córdoba for its world-famous Festival of the Patios, where family courtyards burst with flowers and history.

    Back home in Málaga, we find the spirit of tradition still blooming after Día de la Cruz — in neighbourhoods like El Perchel, La Trinidad, and the whitewashed villages of the Axarquía.

    From Marbella’s beach club openings to candlelit concerts, artisan food, and the calm between ferias, this is the perfect guide to experiencing the quieter side of Andalusia — with beauty in every corner. ✨

    Weekly Diary Semana Santa Special
    Apr 6 2025
    🎧 Episode Description – Málaga Radio Weekly Diary Special: Semana Santa in Málaga

    Step into one of Spain’s most profound and visually striking traditions—Semana Santa in Málaga. In this very special episode of the Málaga Radio Weekly Diary, Carmen and Baptiste slow the pace and guide you through the soul of Holy Week on the Costa del Sol.

    📿 From the heavy silence of candlelit processions to the brass bands echoing through historic streets, we explore the deeper meaning behind the spectacle. This is about more than pageantry—it’s about family, faith, community, and identity.

    👣 Learn what to expect if you're visiting: the crowds, the candles, the brotherhoods, the anticipation. Discover the unspoken rules, the emotional beats, and the best times and places to witness the city at its most united and alive.

    💬 Along the way, we reflect on how this tradition continues to shape modern Málaga—and why it still moves generations, believers and non-believers alike. This is not a tourist checklist. It’s an invitation to feel the city. Whether you’re attending your first Semana Santa or reliving childhood memories, this episode offers a window into something uniquely powerful.

    🎧 Press play, light a candle—and experience Semana Santa, Málaga-style.
