A new week in Málaga brings a diverse programme of cultural events, live music, film screenings, creative workshops and city-wide experiences. From Monday to Sunday, the calendar moves between intimate concerts, independent cinema nights, social game and music events, and one of the city’s biggest cultural highlights of the year.
What stands out this week is the variety of ways to experience Málaga’s cultural scene. There are relaxed midweek plans like jazz and karaoke, more social evenings designed for meeting people, and larger events that take over the city on the weekend. For expats and internationals, it’s a chance to discover different venues, connect with others, and experience Málaga beyond the usual routine.
Monday
Miss Caffeina Returns to Málaga with a Free Acoustic Concert
After their performance in Málaga earlier this year, Spanish indie band Miss Caffeina returns to the city this Monday for a special free concert at Sala Fundación Unicaja María Cristina. The event is part of the cultural series Suena Sur, organised by Diario Sur in collaboration with Fundación Unicaja.
One of the most recognisable names in Spain’s indie scene, the band will present songs from their latest album Buenasuerte — an emotional and sometimes ironic reflection on heartbreak and personal change. Tracks like Debería estar brillando and Argumento de mierda combine introspective lyrics with atmospheric electronic sounds and catchy melodies.
The evening will mix live music and conversation, offering a more intimate concert experience in one of Málaga’s most beautiful cultural venues. For expats and international residents, it’s also a great chance to discover contemporary Spanish indie music beyond the mainstream scene.

A special movie night at La Termica
This Tuesday, La Térmica invites film lovers to a special screening of My Eternal Summer as part of its monthly cinema series in collaboration with Filmin. More than just a movie night, the event brings people together through independent cinema, meaningful stories, and post-film discussions in an inspiring cultural setting.
The film follows 15-year-old Fanny as she spends one final summer with her family at their holiday home. Between swimming, reading, and quiet moments together, the family tries to enjoy the present while facing the painful reality that it will be the mother’s last summer. A touching and beautifully intimate story about family, love, and letting go.
The perfect plan to discover Málaga’s creative side, meet like-minded people, and enjoy international cinema beyond the usual mainstream releases.
