What has changed at Citorah’s destinations: prices, closures, new trains and new rules. Each comes from the official page it links to, found when a guide was written or checked.
Formentera: vehicles hired outside the island are banned in summer
Every year from 1 June to 30 September, Formentera’s island council limits motor vehicles on its roads, and vehicles rented outside the island are among those not allowed. A scooter or car hired on Ibiza can’t come across in those months: hire on Formentera, at La Savina, instead.
Sunset Ashram at Cala Comte is now Sunset Cala Conta
The restaurant and beach bar on the road to Cala Comte now trades as Sunset Cala Conta: its old sunsetashram.com address leads to the new site. The island’s tourism register still lists the old name.
Under Sintra council’s 2026 plan for the village, tourist coaches no longer drive into it and unload at the Lourel car park instead. Parques de Sintra says the afternoon is when Pena Palace has fewer visitors.
Lisbon’s Glória, Lavra and Bica funiculars are out of service
Carris lists the Glória, Lavra and Bica funiculars as out of service and the Santa Justa lift as temporarily closed. Only the Graça funicular runs, between Mouraria and Graça, from 7 AM to 9 PM. Go up by tram or metro.
Since February 2026, shops and bars in Lisbon can’t sell drinks to be drunk outside from 11 PM to 8 AM, Sunday to Thursday, or from midnight to 8 AM on Fridays, Saturdays and the eve of a public holiday. Drinking inside and on licensed terraces is unaffected.
From 1 April to 30 September 2026, Rother council’s three Camber car parks charged £6 for up to an hour, £12 for one to three hours, £24 for three to six and £30 for longer.
The Alcazaba and Gibralfaro now cost €7 each, or €10 together
A ticket for one monument is €7 and the combined Alcazaba and Gibralfaro ticket is €10. Reduced tickets are €3 for one and €5 for both. Many guides still give the old €3.50 and €5.50.
Málaga Cathedral’s rooftop visits are suspended for roof works
The guided climb onto the Cathedral’s roofs is suspended while the roof is worked on, and the Cathedral gives no reopening date. The Cathedral itself is open to visitors.
The city’s contemporary art museum is now MUCAC. It opens at La Coracha, Paseo de Reding 1, from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 20:00, and entry is free. The old CAC building on Calle Alemania is closed for a full renovation.
Renfe’s Avant trains between Málaga and Granada returned on 30 April 2026, with six a day. Renfe’s site still carries an older notice saying they are suspended; its April press release is the later word.
Trains to Ronda: a bus between Antequera and Ronda during works
Since 30 April 2026, Renfe passengers for Ronda travel by bus between Antequera Santa Ana and Ronda while the line is worked on. Direct buses from Málaga’s bus station to Ronda take one and a half to two hours.
Driving into Málaga: B-label cars restricted from 30 November 2026
From 30 November 2026, cars and motorbikes with the DGT’s B label that aren’t registered in Málaga can’t enter the city’s low-emission zone (ZBE). Vehicles with no label have been kept out since 30 November 2025. The fine is €200.
Jumeirah Burj Al Arab is closed for a restoration, and Jumeirah offers to help with an alternative booking. Press reports give a reopening in late 2027.
La Mer is now J1 Beach, a strip of premium beach clubs
