The night buses in Málaga are not a skeleton service: the N3 runs 78 stops out to Campanillas against a network median of 46, and at the same 1.40 euros as by day. The whole network is 48 lines over 1.136 stops, and its shortest line, the museum tourist route, calls at only 4 of them.

Málaga Military History Museum, and the one in the castle
Under-14s go free, the reduced rate starts at groups of 4, and the whole display is 140 square metres in 4 rooms that shut at 17:00 with no afternoon session at all. The catch is Sunday: the listing shows hours from 10:00 to 14:00 and the door only opens for people who wrote ahead to book.
Outdoor gyms in Málaga, 172 of them and all free
There are 11 pull-up bars in the whole of Málaga, spread across a network of 172 council outdoor gyms that hold 1.343 machines between them. The municipal file grades every one of those machines from 1 to 4, and 644 of them sit at the gentlest level while only 69 reach the hardest.
Taxi ranks in Málaga, the 106 and which run all night

Málaga wine and raisins to take home, prices and rules
A 200-gram box of designation raisins costs 5.00 euros and the 400-gram one 8.50, while bottles under the Málaga designation run from 7.00 to 72.00. The shop that sells both belongs to the regulating council's own museum, which opens 10:00 to 17:00 on weekdays and shuts at 14:00 on Saturdays.

Cheapest petrol in Málaga province, 25 euros apart
The dearest station in Málaga province charged 31 per cent more than the cheapest for the same litre of 95 petrol on the same day, which is 25.05 euros on a 50-litre tank. The four cheapest are inland farm co-operatives, and the coastal resorts hold the highest municipal medians.
Disabled parking bays in Málaga, 1.366 points on the map
Two thirds of the reserved parking points in Málaga are a single bay, so arriving to find it taken leaves nothing at all to fall back on. The council map lists 1.366 of them with coordinates, and its own totals disagree by 157 bays between the summary field and the sum of the rows.
