Experience Málaga, Spain, Like Joey Graziadei & His Women Did on ‘The Bachelor’
The perfect place to fall in love!
Southern Spain is known for its sunny beaches, cultural history, incredible art, and delicious food and wine. During his season of “The Bachelor,” Joey Graziadei and his women visited Málaga, Spain, and they also traveled to Marbella and other parts of Andalucía while staying in Málaga. The Spanish cities are the perfect place to fall in love, with both the women and Joey gushing over the beauty. Autumn said, “We are in Andalucía, Spain, and holy smokes it is absolutely breathtaking.”
And Joey shared his thoughts on the stunning cities. He said, “I am so excited to be here in the south of Spain. It’s not a bad view behind me, such a pretty place! Spain is known for its beauty. I think it’s one of those places that as soon as you get down these streets and look around, it just has a different feel to it.”
The Bachelor went on, saying, “It’s known for its wine, I love me some wine. It’s also known for its food and of course Spain is known for its romance. That’s what we’re looking forward to this week!” So if you and your boo want to fall even more in love in Spain, look no further than Bachelor Nation.

Time to book your next trip and experience this hotel just like they did on “The Bachelor.”
Date Ideas: Unleash Your Inner Picasso!
Southern Spain has so much to offer and Joey tried to enjoy as much as he could during his dates. For his first date of the week, he took Kelsey A. on a romantic Vespa ride through the city. The two explored Andalucía and picked up food for a special picnic. Then, they had a candlelit dinner at a 13th-century bathhouse. How cool!
For his group date in Marbella, Spain, the ladies and Joey unleashed their inner artists with a painting day at a beautiful local villa. Málaga is the birthplace of iconic artist Pablo Picasso, so an artistic date is a must when you’re visiting southern Spain! And for this last date of the week, Joey took Rachel for a flamenco dancing lesson and performance. They both fully committed to the cultural dance and Joey even rocked high-heel boots for the performance. We hope you enjoy Málaga as much as Joey did when you visit with your love!
