Our short 4 night stay at started so well weather was sunny and was picked up by a cab that our host Nieves arranged. She also allowed us to have an early checkin which we were so thankful, as our journey began at 4am to Luton airport. So we just wanted to freshen up and explore Malaga.
Nieves was so informative and passionate about her city. She had equipped us with a map, keys and names of good restaurants. It took us about 15 minutes to walk down quite a steep hill to the town and 15 minutes the other way to the sea. Malaga has something for everyone, we thoroughly enjoyed the sea food., the wonderful selection of wine and the relaxing atmosphere. I especially enjoyed the Picasso museum, the Castillo de Gibralfaro and the Malaga Cathedral. The port is a must it has every kind of restaurant that would satisfy every palate.
The walk back to the flat is not for the faint hearted it's very steep but definitely doable. We managed it and we're in our 50s although night time we got a cab which cost us about 6 euros.
The room has everything you need for a simple meal but we chose to eat out. Breakfast was a bonus and a good selection of tea. Nieves provides milk, bread, cereals and butter. The bed is very comfortable and the balcony was the icing on the cake. The views are idyllic the sun rise and sun fall are must, we took some amazing photos that epitomizes are fantastic stay in Malaga. Our only little gripe is it was little cold when visiting the toilet as that positioned on the balcony area. This wouldn't be a problem in the summer but November it was a tad cold in the early hours.
This little break was so refreshing, relaxing and comfortable and none of this would have been possible without the help and generosity of our friend Nieves.
