We had a lovely stay in El Palo at Jose’s apartment which is at a five minute stroll of the beach and many characteristic restaurants like El Tintero and Naval. The living space isn’t enormous but one lives outdoors. The bed is great and the air conditioner works perfect! The kitchen is sufficient for small meals.
The city busses 3 and 11 go to Màlaga city center and the bus stop is nearby.
We had a lovely walk along the boulevard (about 7 km) to the center.
Jose reacts within the hour on questions and we can recommend his nice place.
