The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks from Málaga around Jan 3-4, with up to 110 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a half moon will wash out fainter meteors, and from Málaga the radiant in Boötes climbs to 57° above the north-east horizon around 06:55. Local best viewing window: 03:30–06:55 CET on the peak night, about 3.4 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 110/hour headline figure works out to roughly 92 meteors an hour from Málaga under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: clear skies forecast, so a dark site is worth the drive.
