We really enjoyed our family trip to Malaga and staying at Maria's place. She was a very attentive host and provided clear instructions on key collection, as well as suggestions for places to visit and eat. The location was very accessible using public transport, close to the beach and some great seafood restaurants, and only a short walk to nice bakeries and a supermarket in El Palo. Easy and quick to get into Malaga on the bus too. The house was well set up for our toddler, which was handy (though the stairs are hard, so required close monitoring), and was well equipped in general. We loved the Cuevas de Nerja, the Alcazaba and Castillo de Gibralfaro, as well as eating tapas at the Mercado Central de Atarazanas, and drinking Malaga wine in the old bars. The fish at Miguelito El Cariñoso was great, as was the tapas and Pina Coladas at Pez Tomillo. The kids loved the Selwo Marina, the beach and the Paella.
