User reviews
"The sands of Payo are the ideal place to unwind and catch some rays. All the beaches in Malaga are immaculate and well-kept, and Payo is no exception. I spent a lot of time strolling the esplanade, which is also well-maintained and popular. When hunger pangs struck, I headed to the beach to grab a bite to eat at one of the many cafes."
Emily Scott
"This spot in Malaga is a great spot for a visit, no matter the season! The restaurant is open year-round, and the sky is a beautiful, clear blue. It's the perfect place to take a stroll or get your exercise in. Even during the winter months, it's a lovely spot for a breakfast or lunch."
