What InforMálaga is
InforMálaga is the service portal for Málaga: the pharmacy on duty, the bus, the weather, what to do this weekend and what's happening in the city, all in one place. You can use all of it without signing up. You only need an account to post ads, save favorites, choose your home page buttons and appear on the leaderboard.

At the top, the search box «What do you need in Málaga?». Below it, six buttons to what people look up most; with an account you can swap them for your own in «Make them yours». Further down, the day's news.
Moving around the portal
- On a computer, the menu at the top; everything else is grouped under «More».
- On a phone, the bar at the bottom: Home, Search, What's On, Services and My Málaga. The rest is in the menu with the three lines.
- «All services» brings together on one page every section there is in Málaga. Services
The search box
Type it the way you'd say it: «pharmacy on duty», «weather tomorrow», «what to do on Saturday». It searches all sections at once and, if what you're looking for is a section, takes you straight there.
