The Lyrids meteor shower peaks from Málaga around Apr 22, with up to 18 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a half moon will wash out fainter meteors, and from Málaga the radiant in Lyra climbs to 84° above the south-east horizon around 05:55. Local best viewing window: 00:55–05:55 CEST on the peak night, about 5.0 hours of astronomical darkness.
